Boy Mom Madness {Features}

Well, y’all probably thought I’d forgotten about sharing features from our fun Boy Mom Madness week earlier this month.  It’s been a doozie this Spring… with school, sports, traveling and the likes.  At any rate, I had so much fun going through all of the links over my morning coffee and wanted to share some of my favorites!! 

3 Little Greenwoods shared a fantastic home-grown backyard campout party that I know my littles would adore.  I think we might do just this to kick off summer!  I mean, y’all know how much I looooove camping.

One Krieger Chick shows us how to make a darling keepsake silhouette memory board.  I thought this would be fantastic combined with a growth chart and the size makes it easy to find a spot for.

The Heathered Nest knocked my socks off with her boys’ rooms.  I couldn’t even close the browser window because I already know I need to go back and study them again and again.



And… the other room from The Heathered Nest.  She’s gooooood, y’all.

Bigger Than the Three of Us shares the most clever DIY car light switch.  Another thing my boys would love.  And Jay Bird would just go crazy for.  (Of course, I can envision him having Sister swap out the toy every week or so.)

Bigger Than the Three of Us didn’t stop there.  She went on to share a DIY closet reading loft.  It’s SO super cool.  What kid wouldn’t love this?!?

This tutorial will show you how to build a DIY Reading Loft in the closet!
My sweet friend Christy at 11 Magnolia Lane revealed her teen boy’s room.  I love that she’s a little ahead of me so that I can always take notes.  I mean, one day I’ll have two teen boys.  OMG.

Dolen Diaries made Minecraft targets for the Nerf guns.  Again, my littles would go ga-ga for this.  I’m adding it to the summer bucket list for sure.  In fact, John is currently in the throes of making Minecraft key chains for 3rd grade market day.  At the pace he’s going I might never reclaim my kitchen table.  Oy!

And finally, Bitz n Giggles teaches how to make Electric Eels.  I know this is something boy mom’s can really unite on… a fizzy drink with squiggly worms.  We’ll definitely be doing this one too.

So, with that, I hope you’ll find loads of inspiration for your boys and girls alike.  I really loved seeing all of these clever ideas and found a few new blogs to follow as well!!

On that note, I’m off to tackle one of the longest to-do lists I might have ever had.  End of school year + end of season for track, baseball and soccer + family coming to town + a 40th birthday to celebrate + a closet that completely collapsed last night = LOTS to do.
