How to Make a Chalkboard Sign
How to Make a Chalkboard sign by Brad, a.k.a Mr. 32 Turns. I am am excited to guest post for Britany today!
So you want to learn how to make a chalkboard sign? I came up with the idea to take a piece of trash and turn it into something useful so I got invited to the club; you can call it a “treasure” if you want to. It is kind of funny though, I feel like Britany has me brainwashed to keep my eyes peeled for projects to post about. Come on, I know you other husbands of bloggers must feel the same right?! When I presented the idea of turning an old griddle into a chalkboard sign she said I absolutely had to post about it. I am quite sure this was because she wouldn’t dare take credit for such a thing.
Me post about something?! I can hardly read let alone type. In fact it has taken me 45 minutes to get to this point (no not really). I almost regretted bringing this idea up in the first place but I said I’d do it, so here I am. Saying “yes, dear” is a big ingredient for the recipe of a happy marriage cake. After this post, I’ll be happy to sneak back into the shadows of 32 Turns by managing the technical side again; and so will you. Happy reading!
On Saturday I was working on the car, cleaning the garage, burping, and doing other manly stuff. Until I looked over and saw this old griddle sitting in the trash. The brain wash mechanics kicked right in and I thought, “Hmm, what I can I turn this into?” (thought in the voice of monotone robot 😐 ). The griddle looks to be in pretty good shape but makes yin yang pancakes. You know, the kind of pancakes where one side is completely white and uncooked and the other side is black and over cooked; cheap WalMart special. Most of the time the griddle wouldn’t even heat up unless you placed a block of cheese under the cable connector. Unfortunately, this kitchen appliance was beyond repair.
I started by taking out all of the screws to see what it looked like without the handles and frame. I have been doing this since Continue reading

Removing Bubblegum with Peanut Butter – Day 9
Gum, I do love to chew it, A LOT! But….unfortunately so do my girls. Usually they are really good with gum. They chew it, they spit it in the trash when they are done, well sometimes they might swallow it but of course they don’t tell me when they do that. 🙂 They do however tell me when they get that chewed up sticky gum someplace other than their mouth or the trash, Ugh!. We have had gum in their hair, they even got gum in my hair one time! We have had gum on the carpet in the house and on the floor mats in the car. It has been on our chairs and on our counter tops.
Man….when I read the last few sentences back to myself it sounds like we are a crazy gum stuck everywhere household! That isn’t true, I don’t think! But I do have a trick that will help with sticky gum situations, yay!

We Go Together Like Peanut Butter & Jelly – Day 8
We have really been struggling lately with our oldest Tana. She is having a hard time with her behavior at school and at home. I love her to bits (she is an amazing girl), but she seems to be in trouble more often than not lately. It is hard, as her parents, to feel like we are constantly coming down on her with a punishment or a correction or a re-direction. It is difficult as a parent to make sure there are enough positive moments in the day with your kids. I forget how many positive memories it takes to make up for a negative one, but it is definitely not 1 for 1. I am working hard lately to create positive moments with Tana and to remind her that as her Mom I love her and I think she is wonderful

DownEast Blog Mixer
I have been shopping at DownEast Basics for a very long time. I remember shopping with my sister on vacation in Provo, Utah 8 years ago and picking up a long tank top at a kiosk in the Provo mall. A long tank top! They are easier to find now, but 8 years ago finding a modest long tank top was a lot more difficult! I was super excited to find one and was instantly a fan. When they started opening up stores I was super stoked! For years, whenever I would go to Utah and visit my sister we would always have an afternoon set aside for a trip to DownEast. I could always find modest skirts, shirts and super cute accessories. It is sometimes very hard to find knee length skirts that are cute. But DownEast has always delivered for me.
