Baby gift

One of my favorite things to make for new babies is

 Whale Softies. 

I found the original tutorial HERE. From Jess at

 Craftiness is not optional.

If you go there she shares the printable pattern!

It's great too because it uses very little material.

I also LOVE making burp clothes.

Mostly because every mama is going to need a dozen on hand. 

AND they are super easy to do.

I have had this material sitting in my stash from 

Black Friday. 

I love the rocket ships SOOO much.

But tied it together with the back of the clothes 

matching the whales.  

Add some baby wash, lotion and shampoo

and you have yourself a cute little gift for the new mommy and baby!

PLAY DATE

CRACKED ME UP!

1: Tumblr

My whole family LOVES the 70's show.

So needless to say when I saw this I almost cried I was laughing so hard! 

Me, Myself and I

I saw this new fun link party and 

couldn't help but join!! 

1. What is your biggest phobia?  

Honestly, something happening to my husband or kids. I always 

kiss Jayson a million times before he walks out the door. 

When I leave out of town I hold on to him for five minutes straight...

like I'm not ever going to see him again. 

I check on Ty CONSTANTLY while he is napping.  

When were out playing I am on high alert...

Some family members think I am a little high strung.

And with this pregnancy everything makes me nervous.

If I don't feel her kick for a while. 

If I get aches and pains that are new...Everything makes me nervous. 

But my family is my whole world. With out them. Me? well I would be...Well I can't even imagine it...

2. If you could relive any day of your life, what would it be and why?

My wedding day. I can't think of a better day than when Jayson and I were sealed to

be together for all eternity.

3. If you could choose to stay a certain age forever, what age would it be?

  hmm..

That actually sounds really depressing to me. 

I suppose I would like to be 40ish..I assume I will have all my children by then.

and be settled in our own home that we plan on dying in. 

hehe

 

4. Which celebrity do you get mistaken for?

 well. wouldn't that be nice...

My picture is up top/ you tell me?

 

 Definitely who I WISH I looked like.

  

5. What songs are included on the soundtrack to your life?

You are my sunshine

Barneys: I love you, you love me.

and probably a thousand country songs.

hehe

 It Was Only a Brownie Moon

I almost died when I saw these moon cookie cutters. 

Niki shares this link where she found them. (THANK YOU)

I love that she used them with a brownie recipe. 

I can imagine sugar cookies being adorable as well!!! 

O the possibilities!

 

DIY Lolly Table Decorations

by: Ashley @ Ashley's Dandelion Wishes 

Ashley made these for a church event she was helping with.

They totally caught my eye.

They look like beautiful lolly pops...and anything in a mason jar gets an A+ in my book.
