Maxi Dress

My new Maxi dress. I rate it a 8/10 for easiness. It was easy to make with a little help from my hubby pinning the bottom of it for me while I had it on.  Other than that... easy.. Once again only took one line to sew!! Now that is my kind of dress.  

If you are a busy person, like myself(full time job, toddler running around, school), then you can do this dress. 

When my son was napping i tied the knot the way the directions showed me... 

when the hubby got home he pinned with 4 pins for me

then when we put our son down for bed I quickly sewed one line.. 

POOF!

 then I accessorized! 

Just need to get sleep and my hair done... some makeup and i am ready for date night!

If you use a material that doesn't fray then you don't have to hem! 

Yet another PIN compete! maybe took me a whole 20 minutes!

Baby Foot Art!

Every mom LOVES baby art! Feet, hands, ect! Well, when my son was about 10 months old,  I had him in the wonderful little exersaucer.... perfect time to attack him while he was playing!! I took different color paint and placed it on his feet, slid a piece of paper over the saucer part and let him have at it! Fun, easy to clean up, and made for great art for his play area! awesome memories!!

MMMM Yogurt Dots!!

I saw this Yummy pin and had to do it!! It was so easy, quick, and tasty. My son loved them! They did, however, melt quick, but the small bits were perfect for John and not as sticky as I had anticipated. Plus he shoved them into his mouth ... easy clean up too!! 

 1. place yogurt into a ziplock, cut a small hole in the bottom corner.

 2. Make your dots... i suggest small...
3.  Put in the freezer for about 45 mins or so

4. take off the sheet and eat. Mine were stuck and took some effort. But it was yummy! I suggest one at a time for the little guys since they melt fairly quick.

Thank you  http://www.onegoodthingbyjillee.com/2012/03/frozen-yogurt-dots.html for the yummy treat idea! Great one for busy moms!!

10/10 for easiness, taste, quickness, and clean up!!
