Do you have pictures, papers and magnets all over your refrigerator?
Do they start curling up after being there for a while?
Do the magnets cover your photos and get in the way?
I was getting fed up with the cluttery look on my fridge. I’ve seen some great ideas on Pinterest to use picture frames and put magnets on them but I wasn’t ready to commit to that many frames. I decided to try something basic with the items that I had on hand. Read the rest of this entry
Baby V: She turned 4 months this week. I was excited to see she was able to hold her sticker all on her own. I LOVE her smiles, they light up my day.
Looking at Week 15’s links, you should check out Elsa the Rainbow Brite, Stanley made me laugh (looks like what the chicas do) and sweet Isabelle giving lubbins to her blanket.

Baby V: This is Baby V’s favorite thing, putting things in her mouth – bib, shirt, hands.
Looking at Week 14’s links I was drawn to Stanley looking at himself in the mirror during his bath. Very cute!

As I mentioned in my baby bath tub review post the other day, I finally completed Baby V’s Crib Skirt. I purchased the fabric a month or two prior to her birth, but I just couldn’t find the energy to measure, cut, and sew.
So finally in her 11th week, I took some mommy time and left Baby V with daddy so I could get my sew on!
The theme for Baby V’s nursery has been a fiesta theme. (Blog to come soon on whole room.) I knew that I wanted a solid teal/turquoise colored skirt, but could not find a single one in any local stores. I found one that I could purchase online, but it would cost more than $60 with shipping! Off to Pinterest I went to find out how to make my own crib skirt. Read the rest of this entry
Baby V: She loves being on her changing her table. I kiss her toes and belly and make her smile. She’s just starting to hold on to toys. This one is easy for her to hold with all the ribbons.
Looking at Week 13’s links, loving Pip on the phone (as well as Emily’s Bump photo), Galen made me smile, and I just wanted to squeeze little Eamon the Easter bunny!

So, I believe the story behind this Hop A Long Bunny begins with the question of which came first, finding it through Pinterest or finding it through Facebook or did I like the Facebook page because of finding it through Pinterest? Either way I came across this great bunny and thought it would be something I (a novice sewer) could make for my Baby Girl’s First Easter.
The pattern was created by The Sewing Loft and available for purchase on Etsy, under Bunny Sewing Pattern.
For Baby V, I used a Pale Baby Blue Swirl Fur from Joann’s and some pink fabric. I think it was from Hancock. (I’ll check out the info on it next time I go to the store and update the post with the info.) Oh, and I used fleece for the face and bunny tail. Read the rest of this entry
I can’t believe how quickly Baby V is growing. Although she’s not quite old enough for long periods, every now and then we set her in her walker for a few minutes. We put a pillow underneath so her little feet have something to rest on. She doesn’t know that she can play with the toys yet, but I think it’s nice for her to sit up for a little bit. I’m sure she’ll be zooming around in this soon enough!
Looking at Week 12’s links, I love Eve’s focus at the playground, Saskia looking in the window, and Audrey resting on her ducky. If you want to join in the 52 Week Project go to: http://cheandfidel.blogspot.com/
I decided to have a little fun with Baby V this week. I thought she looked like a little 80’s girl ready to head to the gym for an aerobics workout. Every now and then I get lucky and as her arm moves around I can catch one up like this and make it seem like she’s waving.
Last week I found a few links that made me smile. Check out sweet Atticus talking on the “phone” and a cute 2 year old’s birthday.

Since babies need to be in the back seat and rear facing in a vehicle, it makes it difficult to see what’s going on with baby girl.
Is she sleeping?
Is she awake?
Why is she crying?
Is the sun in her eyes?
This is why I decided we needed something to help us see what’s going on in the back seat. I was happy to discover that such an item had been invented and I didn’t have to attempt my own creation.
With a three month old baby in the house, life has definitely been turned upside down. Lucky for me (and David), I have come across a few great websites that just might help us keep the sparks going.
One such website is The Dating Divas. Each week the Divas post a date idea (already planned out) and then throughout the week they post fun things/ideas to do with your spouse, you children or as a family.
This month they posted some fun printables to use for St. Patrick’s Day. Even though I’m not Irish, thought it would be fun to give my husband some special Lovin’s. So I looked through the printables and I picked a project that seemed like it would be easy for me to put together – I’m Lucky to Have You!
