Sneak Peak

Our ward is putting on their own Women's Conference in August and I was asked to teach a class on inexpensive crafts to give as gifts. My mind just went crazy thinking of all these projects I've been wanting to create and finally I have an excuse to make them! Here are a couple things I've been working on, these are gifts for a baby shower. I got these ideas off of other peoples blogs but I don't know who because I've had these things stewing in my head ever since I saw them. So unfortunately I can't give credit where credit is due.

Here is a little thrift store magic. I love treasures I can find there. I happen to hit the 50% off day. So this gift cost a whopping total of $3!
Before
After
 I think I'm going to hang it horizontally. I just saw on Martha Stewart something similar to this, but she added little knobs for necklaces or headbands. So I'm probably going to try and add that.

I absolutely LOVE these bibs. They cost 66cents to make and are wonderful! The back is a washcloth so after she eats I can wipe it right up. When the bibs are dirty, no problem because I can just attach a paper towel to the clips. What a great gift :) 
Can't wait to make up all the other creations in my head. You'll have to come to my class to see what else is in store.

You are so creative! Where were you 8 years ago when I had little girls and the bows to go along with them? Now my girls are into headbands. Any ideas on how to store headbands?

Happy New Year!

 We thought we’d bring some new energy to 2021 by completely tearing our house apart and getting our carpets cleaned. The cleaners were scheduled for December 30th, so we pulled everything out of bedrooms and gave the walls and baseboards a good scrub. In order to allow the carpets time to dry we didn’t want to walk on them so we used Elliott’s points and got a hotel up in the Woodlands. We stayed at the Marriott along the waterway and it was beautiful. There ended up being a storm that night which was unfortunate because we weren’t able to walk down the waterway and enjoy the whole scene up there. We ordered Shake Shack from Uber Eats and watched Hook all snuggled up in our beds. It was a perfect evening.  Once we returned home we got to work putting bedrooms back together then later that night celebrated the new year! It’s become tradition for us to do taste tests with the kids blindfolded. We did different flavored oreo’s and ice drinks. We ordered Buffalo Wild Wings and wa...

Good Morning

Our kids don't sleep in. If they make it past 6:30 it's an extremely rare occasion. The problem with this is that Pete and I are not exactly morning folk. We make goals that say we will be in bed before 10pm, but after a week or so we are back to staying up way to late. Having Netflix is not helping either. We love watching documentaries and could watch them all night long. Every morning looks a little something like this. Our kids full of energy and ready to conquer the day, while Pete and I are wanting to kill ourselves.

December

There are a lot of words that could be used to describe 2020. Unpredictable, scary, death, political insanity, isolation, divisive, racial inequality, quarantine, masks etc. etc. It was really rough for us around June-October when we had no idea whether or not Elliott would have a job. Thankfully we were one of the lucky ones that didn't get furloughed. Financially speaking our biggest hit was that overtime was cut. We had big plans of paying off a lot of debt from law school and going on our first family trip to Disneyworld. Without that overtime we make about $2,000 less a month and it's quite a hit, but we are making it work. We canceled our Disneyworld trip and are living paycheck to paycheck but had Elliott been furloughed for an undermined amount of time I don't know what we would have done. I know there are many families in that situation and I wish we were in a position to offer some assistance instead of treading water. I feel very blessed and fortunate for where w...
