Perspective Check
Yesterday was one of those days. The morning went fairly smoothly. I took the kids to Walmart to pick up a few supplies to make more Angry Bird Beanbags. Unfortunately, Walmart’s felt selection was not impressive… and by the time we finished shopping, the kids were exhausted! I know, you are probably thinking, how long does
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
Mini RC Cars
This weekend, my husband got a new toy for our son. Okay… he also got himself a new toy. They discovered these Mini Remote Control cars at the Babies and Kids Expo in Houston, at Fundamentally Toys. They actually had them for $2 less than Amazon. I wasn’t so sure that it was a good idea… with

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
