Sippee Cup Leashes : Tutorial Link

Another thing I dread about travel is dropped kid stuff on the plane.  I mean, what is grosser than a sippee cup rolling around on the floor of a plane?  Okay, pleanty of things… but still.  Ewwww!!!  So… when I came across the tutorial for the Sippy Cup Leash by Make It and Love It, I […]

Baby Doll Leash… CREEPY!

Just as I don’t like travel pillows and sippees dragging on the floor in an airport (or anywhere, for that matter,)  I also don’t like baby dolls dragging on the floor either. I cut ribbon as long as I thought the doll should fall from their seatbelts … plus 4 inches longer on each end. […]

Denim Travel Shoes – Tutorial Link

The part I dread most about air travel is going through security.  I’m excited that both of my kids can walk and follow basic instructions at this point, but taking off all of our shoes and whatnot turns into quite a chore… and then there is the re-dressing of everyone.  Sheesh!  I started thinking about […]

Angry Birds Beanbags

My son.  He cracks me up!  His Grandma got him hooked on Angry Birds some time ago.  I wasn’t completely impressed.  Until he started playing Bad Piggies… check that out! Anyway, I stopped looking for ideas for what to make for the baby shower we’ll be going to soon, and started looking for ideas for things […]

Baby Shower Gifts : Taggie Blanket & Photo Cube

Okay, if you think I’ve gone a little overboard on the baby gifts, you might be right… BUT… I’ve been itching to sew for a while and making more diapers for my kids is great, but making fun stuff is even better! FIRST:  The Tag Blanket Tutorial on Bits of Everything  is what I used for […]

Baby Shower Gifts : Nursing Cover

I’ve been going crazy making gifts for a baby shower.  One of the things that I needed for myself (or thought I did, until I realized I have finally become nursing without a cover – still concealed, though) was another nursing cover.  Not sure what happened to mine… Anyway… found an awesome tutorial on Sew Much […]

Household Help: Cleaning Dryer Lint Catcher

Did you know that it’s a good idea to clean out your dryer lint catcher on a regular basis? Yeah, it is.  NO, I don’t mean rub off the lint and put it back.  There is more, you ask?  YES!!! I noticed that my dryer has been getting a little hotter than it should.  Actually, […]

Household Helpers: Stripping Cloth Diapers & De-stinking

I LOVE LOVE LOVE my cloth diapers!  So far, all we have in our house are Kissaluvs Marvels and Pocket Trainers.  Aren’t they gorgeous? The thing about cloth diapers is… they change… The super soft fleece insides pill up, and for good reason.  The pilling actually wicks the moisture away from the kiddos and towards the microfiber stuffers.  Unfortunately, […]

Dinosaur Tails!

I kept seeing these on Pinterest.  I kept thinking, gee, they look really cute.  I kept wondering if my kids would like them.  No… I knew they would, or at least that my son would.  And it was on the “One day, when my kids nap and play nicely like the angels I know they […]

Mission Accomplished : Baby Girl’s Curtain

I last left off with a half-finished curtain and a nap-in progress.  See HERE if you want to see the beginnings… After nap and snacks and some chores, I finished it up. First, I folded over the sides of the curtain fabric and stitched a straight stitch the whole way up, really really close to the edge. […]
