Life Via Instagram: August

Wow is August really over? August was such a fun and busy month: we relaxed more into our home, spent the last few weeks of Summer enjoying 3D Movies, Drive-in movies, quick yummy dinners, our oldest started 8th grade [I know crazy] and spend a weekend in Los Angeles seeing the sights and riding rides at Universal Studios. In addition I finally finished our Campaign Dresser & shared our mini dream kitchen, and began working on Avery's Roman Shades. I started doing monthly Instagram roundups to help remember all the fun moments the month was made up of. Feel free to follow me on Instagram @mrsclh


Row One: Eating Sushi with Hasani // I started using coconut oil on Avery's hair to lock in the moisture and keep is ends from tangling [so far so good] // I love this brand of syrups, I started using for making Homemade Lattes

Row Two: Took a mid-week vacation day and treated my kids to a 3D movie // Hung one of Avery's DIY customized roman, love the results so far // Shopped at the farmers market during my lunch break 

Row Three: Visited the famous TLC Chinese Theater // Road Tripping to Los Angeles // Avery & Daddy having a blast jumping over bus benches in Hollywood 

I love all the memories we made in August! Such a fun month, lets hope September is a productive DIY month around here, we just brought home a vintage dining table from the 50's along with 6 chairs!! I'll share the before on Thursday!

How was your August?

Sweet Storage Idea

I love when I come across cute storage ideas for my kitchen. I was reading though the September issue of HGVT when I saw a sweet way to store cupcake liners. I seriously fell in love with this idea, typically my cupcake liners are thrown in a cabinet and I'm on the hunt for them when its time to bake cupcakes. I already use two large glass containers to store our flour and sugar in and decided to buy the smaller version to hold the cupcake liners. I bought the smaller version for around $5 bucks at Wal-Mart.


I love how the cupcake liners in a jar look on our shelves! I love how its cute, but not over the top cute, lol. Hope that makes sense! 


Here's a round up other other cute ways to store cupcake liners in your kitchen. Colorful cupcake liners shine so much in various glass jars: truffle jars, glass containers and glass footed jars.


They look super cute all stacked up high in this tall glass container, that typically stores pasta

Can Mason Jars do no wrong? Seriously the many ways you can use them amazes me!! Love this simple mason jar transformed with layers of colorfully cute cupcake liners.

Don't be surprised if the next time you see my jar full of cupcake liners they all neatly stacked, in fact I'm might just go ahead and do that today, lol.

Have you seen any cleverly cute storage ideas lately for the kitchen? How do you store your cupcake liners?
