Updates


Okay I know I haven't posted anything in a while and I am usually on top of these things. Well, I have been super busy trying to get everything semi-ready for this new little girl to arrive. Dr. appointments haven't been that great either. Up until last week the baby was in Breach position, which means she was sideways. She finally turned and now she is not stretching me sideways, but putting pressure on my back. Every time I overdue it...which now, overdoing it means a few things a day...I am in pain majorly. So, I am really trying to take it easy and rest...hard to do when I've got a toddler to chase around. So, just a couple more weeks hopefully. But, the good news is that that baby is in position and I don't have to freak out if I am having a C-section...which still might happen but it's not as likely. Anyway, along with the pregnancy brain that I have...I have been trying to sew and get things done for our baby girl. I have made 20 bibs, personalized big sister and little sister t-shirts, made 2 nursing covers, made car seat canopy cover, made 5 pacifier clips, made a cover for a recycled swing, made a crib rail cover, made a diaper bag and I think that is all. I have so many clothes and blankets that I really didn't have to make any or even buy much for this baby and that was really nice. I love to sew and would love to be sewing all day every day, but I am a mom first so I am putting my sewing machine away for now and can't wait to sew again. I still haven't finished the list of projects that I want to do but I am having a hard time sitting for a long time, so the list will just have to wait. Anyway, this pregnancy is different, I do have more energy, but I am still downing half a bottle of tums every other day. I will keep you posted and take pictures of the things that I sewed. But for now pray for me that the delivery goes well. Thanks.

No Excuses

June's Cooking Show! June always wants to cook and has been begging me to film her cooking. I had a million excuses, but I decided that June didn't care that she was in her jammies. She didn't care that the kitchen had bad lighting. She didn't even care what she made. She just wanted to have her mom film a video of her cooking in the kitchen (like she loves to do with me). So, with my IPhone in hand and all those excuses that I created I threw them out the window and decided to STEP UP and be the mom she wants and needs. We made the first video in 2017 and she loved it so much. We got busy and made more excuses. June didn't give up though. She wanted to do another video. So, on a school night I wanted to make banana bread and decided that we are already making it, so I might as well let June make it and film it. June loves to cook and watching her video's. I love her so much and I want her to do the things that she loves to do, so, I will continue to not ma...

Homemade

I am always trying to find ways to save money wherever I can. So, I decided to make some homemade laundry detergent. While I was visiting my parents in California I went to a Relief Society Birthday Party in there ward and that is where I got the great idea of making laundry detergent. I tried a couple loads from the sample I got and it was great...just like Tide. So, I made a huge batch. And it was super easy too. It calls for: 1 bar Fels-Naptha bar soap 2 cups 20 Mule Team Borax 2 cups Arm & Hammer washing soda You just grate the soap, like you would cheese. Mix all ingredients together and store in an airtight container. You only use 2 Tbsp. per load. (tsp. for HE washers) Everything was very inexpensive and much less than I would spend on regular Laundry detergent. I just wanted to share my money saving idea. XOXO-Erin

Homemade Diaper Bag

I finally made a diaper bag for myself to replace the nasty old one I had. I am so far loving it a ton. I went from a pattern at first then scraped it and did my own design. I am happy with the result and now I am contemplating on making more and selling them. XOXO-Erin
