Baby Sewing Links - Diapers, bibs, etc...

Here are the ones I've found lately that I like the most. They are easy for someone like me;) I have tried Rita's Rump, and the Sweater Pants and love them both. I also added a bib pattern. It works much better than other store bought bibs because it covers more. We even take extra long tea towels and just tie a loose knot around the back of their neck. It works great. Enjoy the links!

Here's a youtube that I used to figure out how to sew the Rita's Rump Diaper. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sh8

Wipes - I've done these two different ways. One way is to use flannel where the edges have been cut with pinking shears. I put two layers together, right sides facing out and just top stitch closely to the edges of the fabric. The other way I've made them is getting microfiber towels and flannel. I'd put wrong sides together - 1 of flannel and 1 of the microfiber towel. I'd sew them and turn inside out (so right sides are showing), then topstitch around the edges for a finished look. I like making smaller wipes about 4x4 and then long ones that look like diaper inserts for bigger messes.

My Adult Tonsillectomy Story

Post Surgery as soon as I arrived home. For anyone who really knows me, I have always been completely terrified of surgery. So when I went to an ENT and he said I needed a tonsillectomy I was not very happy. I found out in either January or February and I couldn't make my appointment till the end of June because that's when my husband could get off work to help out. I wrote this so I could hopefully help someone going through the same thing. Without further ado, here goes. Week Before Surgery: This is when I started purchasing everything I had seen online that might be helpful. I also started setting up an area on the main floor where I could be inclined for sleeping and have everything at my finger tips. At the bottom of this post I will have a list of items that I personally found helpful for my recovery. I also have food allergies and tried to stay away from them as much as possible. So my food options may seem different than ma...

Recommended Netflix Movies

I often see facebook posts of people looking for good, wholesome movies to watch with their spouse or their family. Because of that, I thought I'd make a list of netflix movies that our family has enjoyed, found educational, etc... If you have some you think I should add to this list, leave me a comment. I'll be updating periodically. Here goes!! Family Movies: The Hiding Place *The Last Sin Eater The Ultimate Gift *The Secrets of Jonathan Sperry Flywheel *Saving Sarah Cain Letters to God - this is a tear gripper!

Summer Herbal Tea

I made this up a couple years ago and it has def. been a summer favorite for me as well as for my kids. If you can't drink black tea because of the caffeine (or other reasons), give this a try. Ingredients: 3 parts red raspberry leaf tea (not raspberry flavored) 1 part peppermint tea water Directions: 1. Steep tea as your normally would. For me I use enough boiled water for a 2 quart pitcher. I usually add in 6 Red Raspberry tea bags and 2 Peppermint Tea Bags. If I have bulk, each tea bag itself usually contains about 1 teaspoon of loose tea. I steep for 10 - 15 minutes, then take the tea bags out. 2. Add sweetener to taste - honey, stevia, etc... 3. Chill. It's that simple. What you're left with is a refreshing glass of tea for those hot summer days. Below are some benefits of each of these teas. Use caution when drinking peppermint tea while pregnant. Spearmint is generally a better option. Red Raspberry Leaf Pepper...
