Trash to Treasure "Monster High Doll House"

My daughter LOVES Monster High so much that I decided to make a "MONSTER HIGH DOLL HOUSE" out of a bookcase that my neighbor was throwing away. My girls already have a Doll House but they always fight over it so I figured I could make an extra one for them to be able to share.

This is how the bookcase looked at first.

I painted only the inside of the bookcase in three different colors purple, pink, and blue. I wanted to make the floors of the rooms different from the wall colors so I used scrap paper to make them different. At first I was going to Mod Podge the paper on but I didn't like the wrinkles it left so I just used double sided tape and regular tape to tape the scrap paper down.

On the top floor "Pink room" I put  a "MONSTER HIGH" vanity set. I cut out some of the pictures in the box that the set came in to decorate the walls in the room.

The second floor "Blue room" is where I put the "ART ROOM" set and I also cut out windows and pictures from the box to add to these walls as well.

The first floor "Purple room" is where I put the "Cafe"set. 

The "Cafe" cart did not fit in the room so I put it outside the "Purple room" next to the bookcase for the girls to play with. At the bottom of the bookcase I put two storage trays for the girls to keep all their "MONSTER HIGH"  accessories in. I printed out some "MONSTER HIGH" skulls to put in the front of the trays to decorate them.

At that is it! Our new "MONSTER HIGH" dollhouse out of an old bookshelf. All the furniture that I used in the dollhouse were "MONSTER HIGH" furniture sets.

Flat Sheet Fort/Tent/Hide Out

TUESDAY TIP: Instead of buying those tents for your kiddos bunk beds take the two FLAT SHEETS that came with the bedding sets that you got for the beds because lets be real NO ONE using the flat sheet. Tuck them half way under the top bunk and your kids have a FORT/TENT/HID OUT/ whatever they want to call it all the time!! My girls love it!!

Homemade Baby Alive food and juice

When I got my little girls a "Baby Alive Doll" I was surprise to see how much the food and juice refills would be and how little they give you for the price. I don't know about other people's little girls but my little girls like to fed their baby dolls a lot during the day and I don't have the money to keep buying the baby food at those prices. So because I love to make things myself and I decide to search the web and to find a homemade recipe and I did. Through Pinterest I found a recipe on http://www.sophiassundries.com/2009/12/christmas-on-budget-part-4.html for homemade Baby Alive food and juice. I took the recipe and changed it up a little bit to make it for my girls.

Materials I used:

• Empty Mocoa Frappachino Bottles
• Empty Vitamin Jars
• Baking Soda
• Food Coloring
• Water

First I measured to see how much Baking Soda would fit in the empty vitamin jar.

Then I poured the baking soda into a plastic bag so I could color it.

I added a few drops of food coloring into the bag and sealed the bag. Then mix the color by breaking up the color drop and mix all the baking soda to the color I wanted it.

Then I put it back into the vitamin jar.

I colored one green for "Peas" and one orange for "Peaches"

I then made labels for them on my computer to let the girls know how to mix the food. The recipe is a 3 to 2 ratio of Baking Soda to water, so I gave the girls a teaspoon measuring spoon for them to keep for their Baby Alive food. The label says mix 3 scoops of food (Baking Soda) with 2 scoops of water. The mixture will look watery but it is thick enough because any thicker and you could clog your baby alive so don't make it thick.

For the Baby Alive juice it is really easy. Just pour water into the Empty Mocoa Frappachino bottles.

Color one with yellow and red food coloring to make it orange for "Orange Juice". Color the other with just yellow food coloring for "Apple Juice". That is it.

I also made labels for the juice as well.

The girls LOVED it! Ariana hugs me and thanks me all the time for making this because now she can feed her baby all the time LOL

Also for the diapers I do not buy the baby alive diapers I buy the cheap brand preemie or newborn diapers and they fit just fine and are way cheaper.
