So far, I’ve made these two dresses from old shirts I had.  They are definitely not perfect, but Abs likes them, so I guess that’s what matters. This was a super simple project.  Can’t believe I didn’t make one sooner.  Here’s a tutorial for you: Lay a dress or shirt of your toddler’s on top of the shirt you’re going to cut.  Make sure the necklines match up and fold the sleeves in on the [...]

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 [...]

Materials Needed: material an elastic hair band/ponytail holder without the metal coordinating thread Instructions Measure around your toddler’s head to [...]

Just a little note to say that I have done a few crafty projects that I thought I’d share with you . . . sometime.  I just need to write up some tutorials.  So, you can look forward to learning how to make: Baby Square Crinkle Mini Blanket Fabric Headbands Baby Legwarmers (I’m still working on these, so I haven’t uploaded the pictures, yet.

If you have a baby like Abs, you can never have too many burp cloths.  Abs had GERD, so spitting up was a very regular event.  We literally kept two burp cloths in every room and constantly had cloths over our shoulders. A lot of the burp cloths that you’ll find in stores are so thin and ineffective for a baby like Abs.  So, what I found worked best were cloth diapers. But they’re kinda [...]
