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...

2020 From A Chronic Illness Warrior

Friends, the year 2020 has definitely looked different that’s for sure. It’s been interesting talking to my other friends with chronic illnesses and getting their perspective. For me this is what has changed. Positives: There have been more online freebies as far as events than I have ever seen. This has been great for the person with chronic illness and we all hope some of these things continue. Things such as online church, zoo, ballets, concerts, etc. No more trying to fake feeling good when I had to go out because I’m not getting out. So many more places are doing online pick up instead of just Walmart and Kroger. I needed those services before coronavirus hit the United States. Now having so many more options; it’s been a wonderful!! People finally don’t guilt trip me into going to events and family functions because they know I’m high risk. Before I felt like I had to explain away everything if I didn’t feel good enough to go somewhere. ...

Christmas Gift Planning Year Round

Picture borrowed from http://moneysavingmom.com/2011/09/get-a-jump-start-on-holiday-shopping.html/christmas-presents I love to plan my Christmas gifts starting in January. This helps me not only save money but save sanity. I save money because I have all year to look for those specific items and it saves my sanity because my family is not stressed about what to get someone. We're prepared. Here's a few steps that have helped me. 1. First decide if you want to make all/some of your gifts. If you want to make them, try to find neat and unique ideas online. I LOVE pinterest.com for getting great ideas. 2. Is there someone in your family that has a lot of stuff? For those people I get the same thing every year. For our grandparents we do pictures in some form and homemade goodies. For my mom and dad, I always get them a gift certificate to a Bed and Breakfast and add in something small for each one. 3. Make a list of everyone...
