Yay, it's LABOR DAY WEEKEND!!!! AKA the best weekend of them all. It's the most notorious weekend of the summer for being filled with shaved ice, BBQs and just chilling.

But if you're staying home today, then here are a couple of recipes to make this summer holiday even better!

Friday DIY Roundup #74

Have you ever tried to spend three weeks without your absolute best friend that you spend time with every week, and even worse, they're on a Disney cruise which is only the one thing you've wanted to do your whole life?

6 DIY School Supplies for Back to School

Ugh.... I went back to school shopping today and got all the supplies I need. It's a huge reminder that school is coming up in just over a week, and I just want to go back to July! What even happened to July? We were in and out just like that. I feel like we just had the fourth, and my birthday, and everything else you look forward to in July. Now we have to see August go...

Friday DIY Roundup #73

All I can think about lately is packing, because I'm leaving for Atlanta on Tuesday and I always forget something. The funniest thing happened when I was unpacking a bag I always use as my carryon- it was full of soaps and other hotel items, a flight itinerary, my boarding passes AND a car rental receipt. The funny part was that they were from my trip to Maui.... last year. I love packing, but unpacking just isn't my cup of tea.

I really want to make my own DIY luggage tag this year, because we always find ourselves hurriedly filling out those little tags they give you when we check in. Plus, we have a big black suitcase.... A cute pink tag would really make it stand out in the baggage claim.

8 Home Decor DIYs Just Because

Spring cleaning shouldn't be the only time of year when you clean out your home and get things organized once and for all- honestly, you should do it in all seasons of the year. But once you get rid of the things you don't want/need and you've cleaned up a bit, then your house could look a bit boring. Some say it's minimalistic, but it's boring. DIY home decor to the rescue!

2. DIY Rifle Paper Co. Clock by Henry Happened

I love the idea of a geometric inspiration board, but I don't love the way they did it. I'd like to make my own with cork board and push pins, and then set it up someplace in my room rather than where I work. Overall, the concept is wonderful and I can't wait to make my own!

6 Green DIYs for Summer Harvest Season

It's summer, and when I think of summer, I think watering the vegetable garden and harvesting snow peas, measuring the sunflowers that are taller than I am (not very surprising, I'm 5') and excitedly carrying handfuls of carrots up to the house. Some DIYs would make the perfect side dish!

6 DIY Party Decorations for the Perfect Ice Cream Party

In case you didn't know, my birthday is this Friday (that would be the day after tomorrow)... And I'm PUMPED! Obviously, half of that is because today is hump day (happy Hump Day), and the other half is because I LOVE birthdays. I don't understand people who just brush away their birthday like it's nothing, because every year I count down the days, and every year it's the happiest day ever- although there's a really weird pattern where it's always cloudy and cold on my birthday, and usually even raining, despite the fact that it's July. What are you trying to say, Mother Nature?

My birthday is officially one week away, and I'm super pumped. There's nothing like a summer birthday- fudgesicles, swimming, stargazing, late summer nights, and then all summer to play with the presents you got.

7 DIY EOS Lip Balm, Etc. Tutorials

By far, the most common YouTube tutorials on the planet, besides probably bath bombs (though those usually stick to the other side of the internet, AKA Pinterest) is EOS lip balms.

15 Summer-Themed DIYs

It's finally summer!!! Unfortunately, Oregon is bipolar and it's been so cold for the past week (cold for me, anyway) and that means the pool is as chilly as ever and so is the house. We actually turned on the heat a couple days ago... Yep, in the middle of June. It also almost rained out our graduation, but luckily all we had was thunder, hail and a bit of rain. What better time of year to stay inside and DIY?

Friday DIY Roundup #68

WE'VE DONE IT! THE LAST WEEK OF ACTUAL SCHOOL IS OVER! Time for nothing but field trips, ice cream parties, graduation + field day. I cherish this time of the year, because everything is over and there's so much excitement over the last day of school, and no wit's even better because graduation is coming up and I can't wait to finally be done with everything, even if it is just for one summer- but those three months are always as long as the school year.
