I made Baby Legwarmers in two different ways.  The first way: a knee high sock went from this to this. This way took less time than the second way, but it didn’t look as good, and the legwarmers kept sliding off Abs’s thighs at church. So, the tutorial is going to be how to make legwarmers that look the top 3 legwarmers in this picture: Supplies Ladies Knee High socks Thread Directions Cut the sock [...]

Several women have commented on Lyds’s car seat tent, so I’m finally getting around to doing the tutorial.  It’s SUPER easy! I remember going out with Abs and getting frustrated, trying to keep the sun completely out of her eyes with the car seat sunshade.  And don’t even get me started about when it would rain.  Also, the wind, oh the wind where I live is killer and blankets would always blow off, and it [...]

Back in November, we decided to grow my daughters hair out, but her hair kept getting in her eyes.  Bows come in and out easily, so I decided I’d try to make her some headbands.  You could make some for yourself, too, and your daughter might be extra excited about wearing headbands, just like Mommy. Materials Needed: material an elastic hair band/ponytail holder without the metal coordinating thread Instructions Measure around your toddler’s head to [...]

I love these soaps from Bath and Body Works.  Not only do they smell great, but they’re soft on your hands, and it’s so much easier for Abs to wash her hands with the “bubble soap.” I had even put them on my wish list for Christmas this year because we just ran out of the bottles in our kitchen and guest bathroom.  Then, I discovered there might be a way to make the foaming [...]
