Hi! My name is Crystin. I am a "homemaker" in training I suppose. My resume is pretty extensive. I am currently an {okay} cook, a boo boo kisser, a playmate, a jungle gym, bug catcher, butt wiper... I think I'm missing butcher, {I'm not a} baker, and candle stick maker. We will put a pin in that. I am a stay at home mom to two boys and a wife to a pretty awesome husband who thinks I'm pretty awesome too. I love learning new things, tricks, tips, recipes, cleaning technique. I really love being a Home Maker and I am always still learning. I have a strange sense of humor sometimes but I always try to be honest. Motherhood is hard and I am doing the best I can with what I have. A mother's life is dirty, messy, fun, silly, pretty gross sometimes...it's exhausting, enjoyable and all in all, a darn good time.

Pinecone Bird Feeders

My friend Crystal and I took the boys to the Leeds Memorial Park yesterday. While we were there, we collected pine cones. I had a cute idea to make pine cone bird feeders as a craft. These bird feeders are super easy and really fun! Here's what you need:


Pine cones (any size)
peanut butter
bird seed
ribbon

Take the pine cone and spread the outside with peanut butter. I really slathered it on. Put the bird seed in a huge bowl and press the pine cone into the seed to cover it completely. Shake off the excess. We tied a yellow ribbon on the top. Viola! You have home made bird feeders!

These are so cute. I can't wait to see if the birds actually eat the seed! I took some pictures and I will try to get them uploaded today.
