That's not my Polar Bear -What we're reading-

One of the many many many reasons I love Miss Ember is that she loves to play in her crib for awhile after she wakes up and play. She plays with her dolly or caterpillar and even looks at her books. 

My favorite books for her age are the touch and feel books. Each page on this book has spots to feel new textures. Its pretty adorable and fun.

A touchy-feely book with simple, repetitive text.

Bright, colorful pictures with textures to touch and feel on every page.

Helps babies develop language and sensory skills.

This was actually a gift we received on Tys baby shower from my Aunt Trish. He loved it, Ember loves it and im sure all of our future kids will adore it!

Finger Paint

Remember the one time Ty and I made finger paint? I found the tutorial here and loved it! Jayson officially started school so the littles and I have been needing to fill some time spent home all day. Ty liked the finger paint then but loved it now. He is a little bigger and can paint more than make a mess. Don't get me wrong he still makes a big mess but rather than him just enjoying making the mess this time he also enjoyed mixing the colors and seeing them change. Also making patterns and swirles on the paper and seeing what he could create. He helped from start to finish. Measuring out the ingredients and stirring the mixture clear to cleaning up the paper and wiping up spilled paint. This paint washes off counters super easy. I laid a big sheet underneath his chair to protect the carpet but some still managed to get on it. Luckily it also washes off easy. Nothing some soap and water can't take care of.

 The paint took about fifteen minutes to make and was very easy.  Its also a very cheap project. Only taking three ingredients I am sure you already have in your cupboards. Go here for the full tutorial and recipe.

Ty liked to watch the mixture get thicker and thicker. Just be careful when you take it off the stove and transfer it into the container its very hot. Duh it just got off the stove right! Let it cool for a while before mixing in the food coloring or your poor fingers will get hurt.

Ty was busy for an hour and a half. Plus if you don't use it all in one setting...that is totally possible if your kid likes to make piles of paint like Ty does. But if you do have some left over slip it in the fridge and pull it out another day. 

Ty has definitely turned into my little artist! Always coloring, painting, drawing... Anything he can get his hands onto.

 Black heart (cards)

Cardstore plus Embers birthday is coming up!!

Embers first birthday is coming up and I wanted to make a sweet little card for her. Something I can put in her scrapbook! Simple and sweet was what I was looking for. Cardstore contacted me about doing a review so I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to make her card.

I loved it. You can chose through their options of premades or create your own. Adding all your own pictures and text.

I loved the hearts on the baby announcement and thought I would just change the text to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

After picking my own photo, words, font and color the site verified and spell checked everything. Then asked if I would like to ship it to myself or to my recipient. Awesome. The price of my card was only 2.49 - totally affordable and adorable.

I absolutely loved Cardstore. The layout of the site, customer service, options and reliability is amazing. I was offered this card in exchange for the review but plan on using this site again and again for my personalized cards. I think it will be the sweetest way to send a birthday wish, thinking of you or any announcements.
