Banana Mohawk

Kierstyn ate some bananas the other morning, and did this to her hair with her sticky hands while I had my back turned....

Project a comin'!

I've been wanting some fabric to do something with that resembeled my sister's shower curtain. It had blue birdies on it and was from Target, and you can't find it anywhere! I even noticed when I googled it that there were many blogs, etc saying that a lot of people loved this shower curtain and it is not available anywhere! So another route I went. I just ordered 5 yards of this cool fabric to make some curtains for the guest room. I've had my eye on it for a long time - and it keeps getting sold out. Yesterday I noticed the website replenished their inventory - 240 yards - yahoo! I added it to my cart and saw there was a discount. 15% off if you order $40 or more, and free shipping over $35. Well it was $6.98/yd so I needed to add $0.10 for free shipping, but figured if I put $5.90 more in my cart I would get that extra item free and actually my total would come out to $34 - so why not! I found some cute trim to put on a pillow for Kierstyn - 1 1/2 yds was $5.97 - PERFECT! If you are interested in the coupon it is at www.fabric.com. Finished project to come in the weeks ahead!

My little gift

I feel so lucky to have this precious little baby. I've realized how quickly time goes by and that little babies sure enough grow up to be toddlers. There are days when you are at the gas station for 20 minutes because your child throws up all over themselves and the carseat, and the gas pump falls out of the car and gets gas all over your feet. Those are days you'd rather just forget about. But then there are other days when you realize your baby is growing up before your eyes...like the first time that your "baby" walks from the car in the driveway into the house all by herself because you have 2 handfulls of shopping bags. Then later in the bathtub puts all of her bath toys away when you ask her to, even without showing her what you just said to do, then claps for herself. These days are the days to cherish - the ones to blog about so you can look back and remember!

Miss Kierstyn can moo, can you?

Kierstyn says a bounty of animal noises, so I thought I'd capture them on video while she's still a little tot and it's super cute! Enjoy!
