Pretty Little Liar Obsession/Confession

For Christmas my in-laws got us Netflix.

We have access to it on our tv and on our phones.

Oh My!

Best. Thing. Ever.

I'm nursing Baby Girl and it has been awesome sitting down to nurse her- it gives me something to do while I'm sitting there.

I just pick up my phone, plug in my headphones and watch whatever sounds good.

It's Glorious. 

Marvelous.

And Wonderful.

First I worked my way through How I Met Your Mother Episodes.

Then 30 Rock (super funny).

But then I was kind of lost where to go next.

While searching through my possibilities I came across "Pretty Little Liars."

My niece and my sister-in-law both watch it, and while it seemed a little teeny-bopperish- I thought "Hey- why not?!  I'll give it a try."

There's:

Suspense

Mystery

Drama

Great Hair

Great Clothes

Great Shoes

Love

Pain

Good Looking People

Scary Moments

And I like to watch things that require me to figure out who done it.  They have me completely stumped!  I have my ideas, but there is seriously so much going on I can't hardly get my thoughts straight enough to figure it out!

It's officially my newest obsession.

I've watched Seasons 1 and 2, but 3 isn't on Netflix yet!

I'm not sure I can wait for Netflix to get it together- I might have to make a trip to Wal-Mart and buy it tomorrow!

 

I will say this: I think Allison's still alive.

Don't know who Allison is?

Watch the show.

You'll Love it!

Yay!!!

Spring Door Wreath Tutorial

Hello!

So we just got back from our Spring Break.

We went to our parents'.

We had fun!

There was tons of eating, movie watching, visiting, cooking, and even a cookout.

However- Baby Girl, Little Miss, and myself were all sick.

Boo!

We're on the mend though- so Yay!!!

Here is a Wreath Tutorial that I made a couple of weeks ago.

What you'll need:

3 inch Strips of your favorite fabrics- any colors- I chose rainbow colors
Fabric scraps- different colors and sizes
A Styrofoam wreath- any size- You pick
Buttons
Hot glue gun
Tread
needle
Maybe a sewing machine (depending on how you choose to make your flowers)

It will look like a big mess getting started:

Start by wrapping your fabric pieces on one at a time.  I only glued every so often and only on the back side of the wreath to keep from having glue lumps on the front.  You don't have to glue every square inch of fabric- just every so often.

It will look like this when you're done wrapping your fabric:

Once you are done wrapping your wreath with fabric you can make your fabric flowers.  I used Cotton, Burlap, and some felt for my flowers.  I apologize that I forgot to take pictures while I was making mine. 

Bummer I know right?!  Ha!

I'll make some more soon and post a tutorial for them.

Some are done with a sewing machine and then I pulled the tread to pull all the fabric to the center making the pleated "flower" look.  The cheetah print one I twisted fabric hot gluing it to a round piece of felt as I twisted.  The centers of most of the flowers are just round, cut out pieces of fabric with buttons that I sewed thread into and then glued on. 

Let your imagination take you anywhere you want on this part!

Use plastic flowers, fabric flowers, plastic berries- Go wild!

I'm not totally happy with my end project, but overall it turned out okay.

I was going for Spring-y and I feel like I achieved that.

I found this idea on Pinterest.  The original idea was a wreath wrapped with yarn and it's tutorial can be found HERE at My Little Corner Of The World:



It's way cuter than mine.

I tried to add some plastic flowers to mine like she did and just couldn't get it to work.

Oh well. 

No worries!

Give it a try, and be sure to leave me a comment letting me know if you tried it out and what ideas you had to make it even better!  And if you post about it- Leave me a link back to your post!  I'd love to see what you came up with!

I can't think of a better way to bring in Spring that to do it with a colorful Spring Wreath on your front door!

WELCOME SPRING!!!

Picture Fun

My kiddos got this super funny wig from their Nana at Halloween, and Little Miss decided she wanted to dress up and wear it the other day.  Little Man decided it looked like so much fun that he had to test it out too.

 

I mean what kid doesn't like to dress up right?. 

 

 

 

With the wig on they look just alike don't they?

Crazy!

And of course I couldn't pass up a chance to take this little ones picture...

She's eight weeks old and still having a little trouble keeping those eyes straight and focusing with them.  The older two think it's pretty funny when she goes cross eyed!

Look at those cheeks!

She was 6 lbs 6 oz. at birth and she's already 10 lbs. 

She's like her mama and she enjoys her meals!

I want to pinch her sweet, chubby cheeks!

By the time we got to the group shot- Baby Girl was OVER IT!

How gorgeous is this quilt that my wonderful mother made for Baby Girl!

Little Miss is sick right now.  Baby Girl got RSV and managed to give a cold to me and Little Miss.  She's running a low fever, coughing, and CRANKY!

We start spring break this weekend so of course someone's sick (thick with sarcasm).

I'm ready for her to start feeling better so I can see this sweet smile again...

Little Man started soccer this week.  He's pretty stinkin' good at it and super fun to watch!

We went to his Parent/Teacher Conference this week and his teacher told us that he's reading at the sixth grade level!  Crazy Town!  He's only a second grader!!!  He's so his father's child!  He's handsome like his Daddy too!

I think I hear the Laundry calling my name.  I've ignored it as long as I can.

Have a great night!

One Month Later...Valentine's Day

So having a baby makes things crazy.

 

I've had all of these really great intentions of posting, yet here I am a whole month later and I'm just now getting around to it.

 

Sad. 

 

I know.

 

Anyhoo- Little Man is a mess.  His daddy told him that if he got a perfect weekly report from school he'd get a treat...

 

A basketball hoop for his bedroom door.

 

I'm happy to report that he's not just The Little Man, but he's the The Man!

 

He had a big time helping his daddy put it together...

 

 

 

 

 

I honestly can't get over how nice it is!  It looks like a real goal- only smaller.  Crazytown!

He's been driving me bonkers with the loud sounds of dunking and with the entire house rattling and shaking ever since.  However, if it means he's being a rockstar at school...

 

I'll take it.





 

Here's the sweet card the Hubster made me for Valentine's day.  So cute and sweet.

We made cookies.  Apparently I lost my heart shape cookie cutter so instead I had to use my biscuit cutter.  It worked.

They were decorated lovingly and beautifully...

The weather has been going from super cold to super wonderful.  So we took advantage of a super nice day and headed to the park.  Some of our sweet friends joined us...

What a bunch of goobers!

 

And of course no playground experience is the same without some fairy wings.

 

What a sweet little fairy!  I love her!

 

 

So I took the baby to the doctor today and she has RSV.  It stands for "Really Stressful Virus".  She can hardly breath and she keeps coughing and she has all this nasty mucous stuff.  My heart is breaking for her.

 

I'm off to change a diaper and suck some snot. 

 

Have a Super Day!
