FREEBIE FRIDAY: Country & State Art Prints

It's FREEBIE FRIDAY and today's featured printable comes from Jenna at Q.A. Design.  I've been trying to come up with something fun to do with a wall in the girls' playroom and when I saw her downloadable state and country art prints, I knew I'd hit the jackpot.

Aren't they fabulous?  I love the color combinations - just popping them in a simple white frame will make a huge impact - and with 65 different options to choose from, there are so many ways you could group them - states you've visited, the countries your family is from.... the sky's the limit!

FREEBIE FRIDAY: Laundry Room Art

I spent a good chunk of my day yesterday doing laundry.  Fun, right?  I have to admit, my least favorite chore is a lot more tolerable now that our laundry room is off our master and I don't have to lug any hampers up and down the stairs.  I also love the pretty purple we painted the space but there's still something missing....  Oh yeah!  Some art on the walls.  And what could be more perfect than these retro laundry tip prints from Better Homes and Gardens?

They totally crack me up.  My favorite is Tip #4: "Be patient.  Stain removal takes time, darling.  Repeat your treatment f you need to.  Be sure the garment is sparkling clean before drying it.  If you dry out the stain, you may never get it out."  Fabulous!

FREEBIE FRIDAY: 2012 To Do List {PRINTABLE}

We all know it's easy to make resolutions and then to forget all about them, which is why today's freebie is a favorite of mine.  

Isn't that awesome?  The girls at eighteen25 designed it and share the instructions to make your own version of a 2012 To Do List.  Just frame their printables and you've got a pretty dry-erase board that will remind you every day of what you want to accomplish this year.  And did I mention that it comes in four colors?

Now there's no excuse for not hanging one somewhere for everyone to see!  After all, a little peer pressure never hurt.

FREEBIE FRIDAY: Printable Weekly Meal Planner

It seems like every year, I resolve to be more organized and every year I fail.  Why?  Well, it's a pretty big goal overall.  Be more organized how?  Do I mean keep my closets neat?  Stay on schedule with things?  Don't lose important papers?  Yup, I pretty much mean all of the above, so I figure this year, I need to break the goal down in more manageable components in order to achieve it.  

One way I want to be more organized is by planning meals ahead of time.  It will cut down on the amount of shopping I do and also allow me to save time by making some things in advance.  Lucky for me, Kim from Seven Thirty Three designed some fun free printable weekly meal planners!

I love that there's a shopping list on the right hand side so as you fill in the dishes you plan on making, you can also jot down anything you don't already have on hand.  

There are two options - an owl design:

Or a bird:

And you can easily print out 52 pages and have them bound at Staples or Kinkos to make them into a book so you can easily reference past weeks which were:

FREEBIE FRIDAY: Last Minute Halloween Treats {FREEBIE}

I decided at the last minute that I wanted to make some treats to hand out to Gabrielle and Alaina's classmates on Monday.  I didn't want to do candy - I know they'll be getting plenty of that! - and since we're still in our rental apartment, I didn't have any of my baking stuff.  I needed something simple but still scarily fun, so I went with Witches Hat cookies I so over on Explore Dream Discover.

All you need are fudge stripe cookies (I used the supermarket brand), Hershey's kisses (if you're a Kiss connoisseur, you probably noticed I went with the caramel ones - yes, I'm sassy like that!) and orange frosting (I bought mine in the baking aisle).

Then you just flip the fudge striped cookie upside down, add some icing to the bottom of the kiss:

And press it over the hole in the cookie and you have a Witch's Hat!

It doesn't get much simpler than that!  Then I wrapped them in clear cellophane, tied them with a ribbon and added a little tag that reads "THANKS FOR BEING A WICKED GOOD FRIEND!"

So what do these cookies have to do with FREEBIE FRIDAY?  Good question!  I figured there are probably other mamas out there making last minute treats for their kid's classes this weekend, so I'm offering the labels I designed as a free download!  

Printable Halloween Treat or Favor Labels

You can write your child's name in or import the file into Photoshop or upload it to Picnik.com and add it there.  They're formatted for a 2-inch punch, or you can cut them out too.  If you have any issues downloading them above, you can go HERE.

FREEBIE FRIDAY: A Haunting Halloween Hand Out

With the nice fall weather here in Rhode Island, I'm in a Halloween state of mind so today I'm sharing a frighteningly fun way to hand out candy.

The Fickle Pickle designed Monster Eyeballs you can print onto sticker paper and affix to Rollos or miniature Reese's Peanut Butter cups, as well as a cute label to go with them.  This is the perfect idea for trick-or-treaters or your children's classmates.  I know my little monsters will love them!

FREEBIE FRIDAY: Toddler Chore Chart

Now that the girls are in school and about to turn three, it seems like the right time to start getting them used to doing chores, so when I found this modern toddler chore chart from Danyelle at Dandee Designs, I was super excited.

It's perfect because the tasks are age-appropriate - make your bed, get dressed, clear your dishes, brush your teeth and pick up your toys.

I printed our two for Gabrielle and Alaina.  We'll see how it goes!

FREEBIE FRIDAY: Back-to-School Party Pack

On Party Peeks Wednesday, I shared an adults back-to-school bash with fun free printables, so to be fair, today I've got one for the kiddos!

Ana from Love Party Printables designed this set for Catch My Party and I just think they're adorable!  The chalkboard napkin wraps kill me.
