Love it!

Lunch Goodies

I had an ETSY order this week for some fun lunch bags and matching napkins from a momma for her daughters (what a great gift idea!):

(the inside has ProCare lining and the seams are sealed; dimensions = ~ 9" wide x 10" tall x 2" bottom)

I've made a few of these before and have been meaning to make one for Sydney to bring to school....

Now she's got one!

I added a snap to the strap so she can attach it onto her backpack if it happens to be too filled up from odds and ends from school. She loves it :) Now I think Ben will need one for his outings with Dad!

Being Thrifty (or cheap?)

Here's the scoop- we live in NH and it's pretty darned cold here about half the year. When you have babies, it can be tricky to keep them warm (yet safe) at night - that's why we all love sleep sacks!  The problem, though, is that they don't make them past the XL size (~ 31")... if you're like me and don't feel comfortable letting your kids use blankets until they are ~ 18 months old, you can be out of luck if you have a big kid.  We have big kids - I'm talking 99th percentile kids... (I think I have Miracle Grow in my breast milk :))

When Sydney grew out of all of the sleep sacks we had, I made her one and she loved it. Baby #2 (Ben) used the same bag every night and loved it as well.  Baby #3... well, I can't seem to find the sleeper (imagine that.... not being able to find one article of clothing in the bazillion boxes of baby clothes I have upstairs), and given that THIS IS OUR LAST BABY (I swear!) I didn't want to buy something new.  So I cut up the bottom of the one that he just grew out of and added about 8 or so more inches of some scrap fleece to it. Also added a little RED SOX logo thingy at the upper left part of the sleeper - couldn't resist :)

Now he can roll and grow to his little heart's content, and I can sleep a little more soundly at night :)

Waiting for Dada

My little guy has a thing for my big guy (and his truck) :)
