23 May by · 10 Comments

 

Memorial Day is almost here, and along with that comes the start of SUMMER and time to expose your toes!  I’ve got 5 tips to get your feet SUMMER READY.

5 Tips for Summer Ready Feet at TidyMom.net

I don’t know about you, but after stuffing my feet into boots and socks all winter, and going sans-pedi my feet could use a bit of pampering about now!  Summertime means lots of outdoor activities and open toe shoes and sandals.  And let’s face it…..neglected feet and toes are not a pretty sight.

5 tips to help get your tootsies looking and feeling summer-ready

DIY Lime Mint Foot Soak at TidyMommake a lime and mint foot soak

1. DIY pedicures. No need to give all your extra cash to the nail salon,  get your feet summer-ready with a safe, at-home pedi.  First, soak your feet in lukewarm water, or make your own Lime & Mint Foot Soak, to soften your nails. Use an orange stick to remove any dirt from under the nails, then clip your nails straight across before filing (be sure not to cut into the corners of your nails, and don’t clip them too short — that can cause ingrown nails).   Never, ever cut your cuticles! They help keep germs away from your skin and nails. When you’re ready for polish, be sure to use a base coat to prevent yellowing and a top coat to help your pedi last longer. {click to continue}

Hi everyone! I am so excited to be joining you today here at TidyMom! I am Jessica and I blog over at Four Generations One Roof. We are a crew of four generations all living together (going on 5 years now) under one roof and our blog is where we share our insane living arrangement, our DIY home renovations, project tutorials, room makeovers, crafts and whatever else goes on in our home. I was thrilled when Cheryl asked me if I would like to share one of our DIY home projects. This past weekend, my dad and I created a wooden outdoor planter on wheels special for you! 

DIY Wood Planter on Wheels Tutorial from fourgenerationsoneroof.com at TidyMom.net

My dad, grandfather and I do many of our home projects together. We live in New England so May is the month where we clean up the yard, patio and deck and remove all the outdoor furniture and planters from our shed. I am a visual person and when I am building something, I need to “see” the steps so I decided to create a visual tutorial for you. Don’t be scared, you can do this! First, decide if your planter will be an indoor or outdoor planter. Our’s is an outdoor planter so we needed to use pressure treated wood. If you are making a planter for indoors, you can use pine or any other type of wood that is suitable for indoor use.
