Cinnamon baked apple chips. Sounds good, right? They're a great snack any time of year. Not to mention they're good for you too. Kids and adults both love them. They're super easy to make, anyone can do it. I first came across them from this pin here, but the link to the source doesn't work, so I had to find different recipes on Google. What you will need is:
Apples
Cinnamon
Mandoline Food Slicer
Sugar (optional)
Parchment Paper
The first thing you need to do is wash your apples, if you haven't already. Next you want to thinly slice the apples. The thinner they are, the easier it will be to get the liquid out of them. Of course you don't want to slice them too thin. I stuck to the 2 or 3 setting on my slicer, as I found 1 was too thin. Place the slices across a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
Next, you want to get all the seeds out. You could either pop all the seeds out, or just cut the entire middle out. I found just cutting the whole middle out was easiest. Now, it's time to add the cinnamon and sugar, if you want. I just sprinkled some over the apple slices. How much you add is your personal preference.
To bake them, preheat the oven to 225 degrees. Bake for 1 hour. Then take them out of the oven and bake for another hour. When you first take them out, they may not feel crispy or crunchy, but when you let them cool for about 15 to 20 minutes, they will begin to harden and crisp.
That's it for this #pinterestsunday. If you have any ideas or suggestions for the next #pinterestsunday, please leave a comment below.
During these long summer days, we are always looking for things to do. We always have all these great ideas of things we can do, but never make them happen. All those hours we have wasted in boredom are finally going to come to an end. This is an activity jar. Whenever you are bored or looking for something to do, just pick one out. The inspiration comes from this pin. This would also be great for crafts, date night ideas, quick outfits, pretty much anything you could need ideas for. What you will need is:
Jars or Cups
Pens
Popsicle Sticks or Paper and Scissors
Paint and/or a Sharpie
To begin, start by writing your ideas on either the popsicle sticks or the paper. I chose to do three categories: workout, chores, and fun. To see some of my ideas look at the image below. If you wrote your ideas on paper, now would be the time to cut them out.
Next write your category names on your jars or cups. I got a little fancy with mine and used paint and sharpie, but feel free to only use one. Once you are done, stick the ideas into the correct category. And that is how you make Summer Activity Jars!

So as I have said countless times, I have been on vacation, and I just got back. It was a long trip and I spent hours watching some pretty awesome movies. But I hated the fact that I had to take a bunch of big and bulky DVD cases. I'm a movie and music junky so I have a ton of CD and DVD cases. It can take up a lot of space, so I have decided to make a holder to store all the discs. This is great for DVDs, CDs, Blu-Ray, and any other discs you may have. A lot of the inspiration came from this pin, but I adjusted it for DVDs. What you will need is:
Cardstock or some other thick paper, 11" x 8 1/2"
Tape
Scissors
DVDs
A Box, 6" x 6" x 6"
A Pencil
Ruler
To start off, measure out how you need to cut the cardstock. Lay your disc flat on the cardstock in one corner. You want to leave about a quarter of an inch on all sides. Use a pencil and a ruler to mark a square around your disc. This is going to be the back of your DVD sleeve. Fold the paper on both lines. For a better explanation look at the picture above.
It should look like you have two big squares, and two smaller rectangles. Cut the middle of the paper so both halves have a square and a rectangle. One halve is going to be bigger than the one you measured. Line up both halves, the smaller one on top of the other. Cut the bigger halve so it is the same size as the smaller one.
Now taking one of the halves, fold along the crease and tape the two sides. Write the movie title on the front and you are good to go. That is how you make a DVD sleeve. To hold the DVDs, put them in the box. And that is how you make a DVD holder.
