You can't have a Mermaid Party without some Starfish Wands. I made some for my daughter's under the sea birthday party and was quite surprised with how simple they were to make. I had seen them on various sites online, but they either weren't for sale or they were really pricey. If I can make these wands, so can you! Trust me when I say I'm definitely not the craftiest one around. If I can do it, that means it really is simple. Don't go out and buy these wands, when you can save a bunch of money by making them on your own. I ordered some starfish from Deltona Seashells & Keep reading...

I did it! – Blog Button
I finally took some time to make my button for my blog! I've been procrastinating, but since the kids are asleep and I have some quiet time to myself, I figured i'd better try to do it. It was pretty simple thanks to the tutorials I found on mypregnancybaby.com and developing a heart for home. The post at mypregnancybaby.com helped with creating my button using picnik. Developing a heart for home helped with the code needed to post it on my site! Here it is!! YAY! I'd love if you grabbed my button :-) Keep reading...
I can’t believe she’s almost 1!
Gosh, i can't believe how fast the year has flown by! My baby will be one in less than a week. I really need to get on with her Birthday Party preperations! She's having an "Under The Sea" party that i'll be sharing with all of you! I've started on her starfish mermaid wands, I'll have to take some pics so I can share them here. I think they're pretty cute! We're having a small party on the 8th of October, so I have a couple weeks to get everything together. Here's the invite I made. Keep reading...
Huggies Wipes Container – Her new Favorite Toy
So lately my daughter is always dying to get her hands on the wipes container! If i forget to put it up, she'll find it. She's figured out how to open it up, than sticks her tiny hand in and pulls out all the wipes! She'll scream when I take it away from her. Sometimes I think, "what's the point of toys?" when it's the simple non-toy items that they really like! I've decided that once we use up all the wipes in there, i'll fill it up with little things (big enough, that she can't choke on them of course), and let her play away! Keep reading...
KIX, it’s what’s for Breakfast, Lunch, AND Dinner!
So, I finally found something my picky eater WANTS to eat! KIX Cereal. I figure it's better than her snacks, it's nutritious, so why not? I've actually found that since she's been eating kix, she's gotten a little more of an appetite, and actually nearly finished up a bottle of baby food in one sitting! I'm hoping this will help her gain some weight by her one year check-up. We shall see... Keep reading...

Step 2 Shady Oasis Sand & Water Table – Review
A month ago my parents bought the Shady Oasis Sand & Water table by Step 2 for my daughter. She absolutely loves it! It's recommended for children 1 and up, but my daughter who is now 11 months old, loves it! She and her cousin, who is also 11 months old really has a blast playing with the water table. They will stand and splash, splash, splash! And as soon as you know it, they're covered in water! We haven't added sand to the table, instead we fill both sides with water. At their age, they'd probably put the sand in their mouth. We'll probably try Keep reading...
