I have quite a bit of that lovely designer Michael Miller fabric that I made my throw pillows from (which I absolutely love and use every day!), so I decided to use some of it to make coordinating wall decor. And it was SO easy and cheap! The embroidery hoops I bought at Joann Fabrics were about 99 cents each. And Joanns also was/is having a flannel sale with flannel only $2.79 a yard and fat quarter sale with fat quarters only 99 cents this would be such a cute nursery decor project! How To: Materials needed: Fabric scraps, sewing scissors, and embroidery hoops. Step 1: Assemble your materials! Optional: Paint your embroidery hoop. You can also purchase brightly colored plastic hoops for only about a dollar or two more. Step 2: Loosen the screw on top of the embroider hoop, then take the embroidery hoop apart and place the…
Im just curious. I mean a cut is a cut, right? Well, maybe if someone wanted major layers or something wacky done. I dont know. All I know is that my hair was to the middle of my back when I went in to the salon today and they charged me extra to get it trimmed and layered. Did it take longer than when my hair was shorter? I dont think so! Im not peeved or anything, though I have that new haircut euphoria and am just happy to have NEW HAIR! 🙂 Whattya think? Seriously, I havent gone anywhere professional since before Emma was born. When she was a few months old I did brave a trip away (I was one of those I cant leave my baby moms) to the library. Across from the library was a Perfect Look and I impulsively went in to get my hair…

Im starting to feel good in this pregnancy for the first time! Up until now its been all-day morning sickness, extreme exhaustion, and just a general feeling of BLAH. (In my last pregnancy post I shared all of my misery) Now Ive hit the 16-week mark and am feeling better. YAY! I didnt want my memories of my entire second pregnancy to be negative, especially when I keep hearing about how happy other pregnant moms are. I want to share in that happiness! I want to feel good, too! After all, Im having a baby, a joyful and momentous time in my life I want to feel joyful about it! The only thing dampening my mood right now is that Ive gained more than Im happy with. Seriously, Ive been really sick but I couldnt stop eating! I was picky about what I ate but being sick didnt stop me…
Ive been on the lookout for good quality maternity clothes at affordable prices. Youre only pregnant for 9 months, is it really necessary to spend an arm and a leg to look good during that short time? Well thankfully not ALL the maternity clothing stores charge exorbitant amounts there are places like Kikis Fashions Maternity that want you to look good AND save some money for the little bundle of joy coming soon! Seriously, there is nothing on the entire site more than $30.00 even the dresses are less than that! I was very pleased with the prices at Kikis, especially in the Clearance and Under $10.00 sections. And the selection is wonderful! They carry stylish maternity tops, pants, and dresses everything you could possibly need to look cute(r) while youre pregnant! Here are some of my favorites: Kikis Fashions Review: I received a sleeveless top from Kikis Fashions to…

Youve probably been there youre at the pool or beach, enjoying watching your toddler splash around in the water. Its a perfect day, smiles all around, but suddenly you notice the sagging diaper. You sigh theres nothing more frustrating than trying to peel a wet bathing suit off of a child to change her diaper! Not only is it a pain for you, its practically torture to a one- or two-year-old who was moments before having the time of her life. There is a solution to this problem, and its not letting your child swim naked or just in a swim diaper! Its Snap Me Swimwear! Snap Me Swimwear provides swimwear with snap-up bottoms for infants and toddlers from size 6 months to 4T. Suits are available in many pretty prints, and the two styles include bathing suits with a skirt and without. We received a Snap Me Swimsuit without…
I am a huge fan of Rosemary Wells animal characters, both in book form and on DVD. The stories are heartwarming and the illustrations/cartoons are the sweetest Ive come across! Ive always loved stories that featured animal characters dressed up in old-fashioned clothing, and this is no exception. 🙂 Whats special about Scholastic Storybook Treasures? You can choose the Read-Along option and your child will be able to read the story as well as watch it, encouraging children who are learning to read! About The Rosemary Wells Collection (Max and Ruby/Noisy Nora): This two-DVD set includes eight episodes (four on Max and Ruby and four on Noisy Nora), each DVD approximately 75 minutes long. Both include special features like an interview with Rosemary Wells, a music video, and Spanish versions of the episodes! This set is recommended for children ages 2-7. A Moms Thoughts: This is my favorite Scholastic Storybook…
Say no to bare, boring walls! Give your walls character! Ive been slightly envious of those families that grace their walls with descriptive phrases and words, beautifully presented, ever since I first discovered that you could do such a thing as decorate your walls in such a way. You see, I love words. Im a bookish girl, one that loves to write and express my thoughts with words. So having words or my favorite quote on the wall appealed to me greatly. Why was I envious? Well, if youve ever searched a local store like Fred Meyer or some place like that, you know how difficult it can be to find exactly what you want. Youre pretty much stuck with whatever they happen to have in stock, if they even have anything more than pathetic little wall stickers. Little did I know how easy it is nowadays to find exactly…
