Baby shoes with squeakers are steadily increasing in popularity, and its no wonder when there are companies like Squeak Me Shoes providing moms with everything they could want in a shoe for their baby or toddler comfort, purpose, style, selection, and fun! I get so many compliments and questions on my daughters squeaky shoes. Everyone wants a pair! About Squeak Me Shoes: Squeak Me ShoesSM was conceived after my sister and her husband returned home from China in February of 2007 with their beautiful new daughter. With a heart for adoption, they were thrilled to bring their little girl home to her forever family. An adorable one year old, she was soon turning heads with her wardrobe of squeaky shoes. My own little girl was soon wearing her cousins hand-me-downs, and friends and strangers alike would always ask where they could find those cute little shoes. Realizing the enthusiastic demand…
Ive been crocheting lately and having a blast with it! I was inspired by DolphinDoodles Etsy Shops adorable $10 hats and decided to search around for a free pattern online. The challenge was to find a pattern that would work into a nice-looking hat for my daughter. Im still working on that, actually. I like the pattern I found, but the hats Ive made so far have kind of a cone shape I think I can fix this by making the brim longer and the actually hat part shorter, though. We shall see. 😉 Ive only made two so far. Here is the first one, made with a soft, thin yarn: This is the second: Boy, hats can be a challenge! lol The first one looked better as far as shape went. Gonna have to give it another go So heres the link to the pattern:Cheri Hat by Jennifer Harrell….
Are you looking for the perfect apartment pet for your child? Perfect meaning no bad smell, no upkeep, and no messes, of course. 😉 Well guess what? Theres something new in the toy department theyre called Zhu-Zhu Pets and they are too much fun. Even I am taken in by the cute furry hamsters, and every adult Ive shown them to has felt the same. My dad and I put the Zhu-Zhu Pets hamster habitrail (hamster run, wheel, spiral slide, and more) together and played with it a bit ourselves. Ive decided that this is a must-have toy! About the Zhu-Zhu Pets: Zhu-Zhu Pets are furry little battery-operated hamsters that seem to really be smart they scurry forward (okay, on little wheels) and back up, turning in a circle if they find themselves trapped or hitting a wall. They can get themselves out of most small holes or tunnels without…
Honor in the Dust by Gilbert MorrisHoward Books (August 25, 2009)My Rating: (4/5) My Review/Thoughts: Another wonderful story about the beloved Winslow family! Gilbert Morris is extremely popular with the Christian fiction community for being the author of the House of Winslow series (not sure how many hes written, but 25 for sure) as well as many other very well-written series and novels. Ive read many of them myself my favorites are the Cheney Duvall series (highly recommended). So Honor in the Dust is part of a new series by Gilbert Morris, an offshoot of the House of Winslow series and what a great beginning! We are thrown into the Tudor period and learn much about the ways of life for those living in the court of King Henry VIII. Stuart Winslow is the main character, but we start out learning about his father, kind of setting the stage for…
