Pinterest-my new found love! I have 101 things pinned that I MUST do before I die…I just never have the time or money to get the tools needed to accomplish these fun DIY projects I found a fun new project that was doable, so I thought I’d share!
It’s called the Bored Jar. If you have a jar, scissors, paper, great ideas, a pen and some REALLY bored children, you’re in business.

It was a big hit when I had all six of my little ones and it was cold and rainy out! They made a silly video for my sister who lives in Iowa- she LOVED receiving a silly video of the kiddos and that made me happy. I hope you enjoys this SUPER EASY project as much as me and my children did.
