Happy Friday Everyone!!
So, It's naptime!! Yay! I've been trying to get everything loaded up and ready for our trip to Oak Harbor to visit the husband. I, of course checked the weather and we are suppose to be getting 80 degree weather ( kinda a big deal here in the pacific nw). Preparing for warm weather means were going to be out, and i'm going to need my handy dandy carrier and even though I LOVE LOVE LOVE my moby wrap it just won't cut it during the summer months, but we do have a back up. We went to walmart and bought just a cheap baby carrier (about $20), it works just fine but it's so ugly! I couldn't stand it anymore so during this naptime I made a quicky cover!

What I used
1/2 fabric
4 5inch pieces of ribbon
2 pieces of paper for a pattern

I only used half of this paper I just traced out an outline
Give yourself a little bit of space when tracing the outline ( I kind of didn't so mine was a little snug, which worked out but I would recommend you to add a little bit extra)
I folded each side about 1/4, sew the tops but leave the arms open
On the bottom of the right hand side I sewed ribbons because the baby carrier is nondetachable 
The nondetachable side

My finished product! I'm sooo happy it was so easy I did it all in about 45 minutes annndddd my little princess is still sleeping!

If you want to know more just let me know I can give you more details.
I love crafting

Happy Friday All!!

Hello All! I know it's been awhile since I last logged in but this mommy has been quite busy preparing for a WHOLE bunch of stuff! 
What have I been up to?
1.)  I'm an Independent Distributor for It Works! I'm totally excited cause it's getting rid of my c-section pooch and my tummy is finally going back to what it used to look like.
(if your interest my site is My It Works Page!)


2.) I am going to be doing a JBLM Expo on the 27th!!! So I need to get my butt in gear and get my display set up and my products ordered. I have been practicing and seeing what my display would look like at the expo! 


3.) It's just me and the little one again since daddy was sent to Oak Harbor for some extra schooling and he'll be up there for 5 weeks! But we will be heading up there to visit him for a couple of days tomorrow! So, I am in the process of getting everything set up and prepared for our 3 hour trip. I realized babies have TONS of stuff to bring between her food, utensils, pack n play, stroller, and clothes..geezz.. Good thing we have a huge SUV!

4.) I am currently looking into couponing..I am trying to understand how it works and how I can get the best bang for my buck! So, I have started following a couple pages on facebook such as Freebies2DealsSmart Couponing and a couple others. They actually have quite a bit of info, so if your like me and wanting to begin/ try it out or if you are a couponer and know some better sites to go to, the more info the better!

5.) Spending time with my little girl 
So, it may seem like a little bit but being alone with an 8 month old and trying to get things done is quite trying at times! But overall I am blessed and thankful for everything!

Smile and Rejoice

" I trust in your
unfailing LOVE
I will REJOICE
because you have 
rescued me"

So, in our house we have officially joined a new church called Newlife and I am truely happy with it! I have never  felt to comfortable at a church and the fact that they are such an open Christian church has made me realize I have been living in the shadows. I used to believe that my heart was in the Catholic church and I love catholic ism  but I can honestly say I don't believe that any certain way of life is wrong, and I feel like Catholics turn the smallest things into sins and that's not what I feel Christ is about. Anyways, that is our new venture!

With all that's been going on I try to remember to just smile and rejoice because I have a truely awesome life.
I am BLESSED to have 
My baby > whose the happiest baby 
my husband > who may be a blonde but has a good heart
a good solid roof over my head
clothes on my back
and food in my belly
what's there not to be happy about? 

I love having my daughter constantly with me, being a stay at home mom has been my life long dream and I am so thankful to have such a goofy little one. I hope she brings a smile to your face like she does to mine!


I Seriously LAUGH at this pic every time i see it


Stay happy, give thanks and enjoy every moment!
