Logan's 1 Year!





I have been doing stuff I swear! Here's some proof. I made these for my sweet little boy's first birthday. I forgot to get a picture of the envelope, darn it. It was orange. So cute. I love them.

Sewing!

I don't own a sewing machine. The only one I've ever used was my mother's really REALLY old one and I'm pretty sure the extent of what I've done is square pillows. I've wanted to get a sewing machine for a long time but it just hasn't been in our budget. A friend of mine lent me hers since she is too busy to use it right now so I am on the search for some projects to start learning how to sew, or at least more extensively. I'm super excited!

These are so cute and I would love to make them for Logan.

Meal planning

Wow, its been too long. I've done stuff I swear, I just keep forgetting to put it on the computer and post it. But I swear I will get around to it soon. Its been a crazy two months! Anyways, I am stealing this idea from a friend (love the idea Jamielyn!) and posting my meal plan for the week so maybe I will stick to it better. I really love having theme nights so here it goes:

Friday: Breakfast night - - strawberry/banana omeletes
Saturday: Babysitting at Sarahs - - sandwich night - - Grilled Sourdough Clubs
Sunday: Pork night - - Pineapple Ginger Chops
Monday: Chinese night - - Sweet & Sour Popcorn chicken and fried chinese rice
Tuesday: Trent's night - - Black Bean Chicken
Wednesday: Chicken night - - Corn Bread Chicken Tenders
Thursday: Trent's cooking Mexican night - - Beef Taco Skillet
Friday: Baby shower
Saturday: Logan's birthday party

Happy birthday!

I teach a 10-11 year old girls Sunday school class at church. One of them had a birthday recently and I made her this cute little jar full of kisses. I had forgotten to get her something until about 11pm on Saturday night and I threw this together with a baby food jar, ribbon, and paper-all things I had around the house.

Card


I made this card a day or two ago (the days all get smooshed together now).

Valentine's Surprise

Toward the end of January I decided to surprise Trent and make some cute little Valentine's for him. I thought it made cute decorations so I left them up. Its not THAT difficult or crafty or anything but I wanted to put it on here anyways. I wrote little notes on some of them :-) CHEESE, I know.












Birthday Ideas

I know its still 72 days away, but Logan will eventually turn 1. I follow an old high school friend of mine's craft blog. She has such AMAZING ideas and projects. I feel so pathetic putting some of the stuff up here that I do because she is awesome. Anyways, her little boy turned one in January and the decorations she had were incredible. I wasn't there obviously, but she put up pictures and I just might steal a few of her ideas later. ALthough, they won't turn out half as good.

Photo blocks continued

I completed two other blocks in December but was a slacker in getting them up on here.




This one was for my mom.



And this was for Rachel-my brother's wife.
