Cooking and Baking

You hungry? You might be after this.... Fair warning!

Yum yum yum yum. Arizona is fun. Look at my rhyming skills. :)

Crafty Pants

I'm jetting out of the tundra soon so I've been trying tie up some loose ends. There are too many, I'm afraid. So many that some won't get done in time but I'm getting there! A lot of what I had/have to do is craft and sew. So... Here's a glimpse at some of my crafting tonight. 

I hate working with burlap, by the way. I always forget that because it's so darn great to use. But it's itchy, stinky, stiff, etc. 

Oh, and Austenland is at Redbox. So is Ender's Game. You're welcome! 

Happy Valentine's Day! 

My cousin had her baby last night. Sweetest dude ever! Meet Olin!

February Crafty Mommas

This month, we made infinity scarves for our crafty mommas night. It was a really relaxed and chill evening. Some nights its bustling, loud and busy but last night it was very calm. It was definitely a change and while I love the loud, the calm was a nice change. 6 of us made scarves, someone made a Valentine's Day banner and someone added to a quilt she's knitting. It was nice. Really nice.

Daredevil was miserable and kept crashing our party. At least everyone thought he was cute. It just demonstrated how icky he felt. He normally keeps with daddy during the nights when we're here. Praying he feels better today. He has to miss his Valentine's Day Party at school. :(

Toddler Tornado

Everyone needs their own toddler tornado, even for an hour. Mine's still sick - so sick we've been to urgent care and we already know he can't go to his preschool Valentine's Day party tomorrow. :( No judging that little red box. Today I'm celebrating him putting any food in his mouth and keeping it there. 

My friend's toddler tornado colored her a beautiful picture... All over her brand new cream sofa. Ah, the joys. 

Cutie Pants

Daredevil is loving all his Valentine's Day mail! Candy canes from Aunt Steph, a funny monkey card from Papaw and Nana, a coloring book from Grandpaw and Nene! 

Here he is enjoying some of his gifts! 

I think he's the cutest!! Have a great day!

Insta-garland

I love having garland for holidays. I feel like they make it so festive. 

I'm all about being frugal, too, so I'm going to show you my insta-garland I make for holidays. 

I either punch out circles or hearts out of card stock or I buy some precut shapes from the dollar store. For my example, I bought some precut shamrocks. It was 12 for $1. 

I zipped them through my sewing machine. 

One minute and viola. 

The result. All ready for St Patricks Day. 

Daredevil and I love coloring the little wooden holiday masks. 

Yay for spring holidays. 

Valentine's Day Photo Shoot

I love getting photos of my family. No, we aren't glamorous, of course I wish I were thinner/tanner/more stylish, but we are who we are and I like to document that occasionally. 

Here's our latest attempt. 

T made Daredevil's shirts, I made his bow tie. Mr Tech Guy and Daredevil (and Twin, for that matter) need a haircut. But this is who we are!
