Independence from things like “bedtime” and “naptime” and “reasonable wake up times” and because of it, her schedule is all out of sorts. This means that getting her to sleep is a big huge struggle, often involves bargaining, and most of the time, involves tears {mine}. While the major problem might be that she’s simply outgrowing her nap and moving towards being a full-time big girl, there are definitely other issues regarding her sleep. Things like the fact that she cannot tell time so she has no idea her schedule’s … Continue reading
DIY No-Sew Flowergirl Tutu Dress
Leanne (Rave and Review) in Crafty Blogaholic, Organized Chaos Blogaholics, Product Reviews, Review Blogaholics - 5 comments - posted on Apr 17th, 2013I’m not always the craftiest person, and I’ve been known to start a million projects I never end up finishing, but when I’m backed into a corner and need something I can’t seem to find anywhere else, I typically do a fairly good job of improvising…. even if that means making something from scratch. These little dresses came about that very way as I was trying to clothe 4 flower girls for my cousin’s wedding and not finding anything that had the style or price tag I was hoping for. I had never made a tutu before, so admittedly I … Continue reading

Five Themes Of FUN { March Break }
Tammy @inRdream in Crafty Blogaholic, For the love of parenting, Get Inspired: Making a Difference, Just Between Us, Organized Chaos Blogaholics, Party Planning Blogaholics - 3 comments - posted on Mar 7th, 2013With the start of March break only a few days away, I found myself last night exploring how we were going to spend the week. With only 1 in school full-time our week won’t be completely different, but I do strive to make it memorable for her. With daddy still working I am not going to be adventuring out with all 4 to hassle the busy March break crowds, we will be keeping it low key and close to home. Last year I found the kids really enjoyed when I themed up our days, we had backwards day, messy hair day, favorite color day, sports … Continue reading

Birthday Madness: Perfectly overrated
lindseyward in For the love of parenting, Just Between Us, New Mommy Blogaholics, Organized Chaos Blogaholics, Party Planning Blogaholics - 0 comments - posted on Dec 13th, 2012It’s not even Baby L’s birthday yet, and I’m already partied out. Thanks to the boatload of creative moms out there, a certain “pinning” website, and the pressure I’m constantly putting on myself as a perfectionist control freak, I’m a bit of a mess about the impending 1st birthday fiesta at the end of the month. While my hubby keeps reminding me it’s all about the people and the good time, and that L won’t have any memory of this event whatsoever (and I know he’s right), my inner Martha Stewart keeps telling me I need to be staying up … Continue reading
