DIY Dog Toys


DIY Fleece Dog Toys


I picked up 3 of those cheap fleece blankets last year on Black Friday for $2-$3 and finally got around to doing something with them😊.

You'll start by folding the blanket in half lengthwise and then in half again, cut 3 3"- 4" strips.




Once you've got them cut, you'll have enough from those to make two toys.
tie a knot in the center and braid down approximately 6" on each side, from there combine the two braids and make one single braid, tying at the end.


With this one I tied a knot at the center and did one long braid, when I was finished a tied a couple knots along just to make it a little shorter.

With the fabric you have left you'll fold lengthwise and then again. Cut in half and then cut 3 strips in each of the halves. one of them I just tied a big knot in the middle for them to throw around and the other I did a short braid.


With this blanket I folded in half the long lengthwise and cut 3 wide strips, tie a knot in the middle and braid.


With this one I did the same as the last and cut 3 wide strips and tide a knot in the middle.
Then I braided approximately a foot down on each side of the knot and then intertwined and did one large braid from there, tying a knot at the end.


Deegan was super happy about all the new toys and was grabbing as I was finishing them😉.


And there you have the finished products! for less than $10 you have 6 new toys for your fur babies.

National Peanut Butter Day

In honor of National peanut butter day coming up this Sunday the 24th, I thought I would share my favorite  peanut butter recipes from the blog.  I don’t know about you, but I never need an excuse for peanut butter, BUT I do love using these National (insert whatever here) day as a fun way to celebrate some of my favorite things.  To start us off I’ll share my favorite first!

Instant Pot Hamburger Helper

Instant Pot Hamburger Helper To get started you're going to turn your instant pot to the sauce feature. When it shows "Hot" on the display you're ready to add your olive oil and hamburger. Throw in all of your seasonings and brown the hamburger. Once its browned, add the noodles and more seasonings. Then add the two cans of beef broth and try to push all the ingredients down so there's not too much sitting on the surface. Then set the instant pot to cook for 8 minutes and do a quick release. Add in your milk, cheese, and party dip or sour cream if you have it. Turn it back onto sauté and stir everything together until it's melted. And serve! I don't know about you guys...but in our opinion you can't have hamburger helper without some bread and butter to go along with it😉. Ingredients: 1lb hamburger 8 oz elbow noodles 2 14 oz cans beef broth  1/2 - 1 cup milk  8 oz shredded ch...
