Saturday Crafts

Saturday Crafts! Well I had originally planned on just having a relaxing day with my little doing nothing, but I ended up doing crafts. It all started when I called my stepmom and she asked me to make a diaper case for Lydia my stepbrother's baby momma and a Korker bow for Sophia their daughter who is a couple months older than Leilani. I got into crafts when I was pregnant, and made some for a church bizarre. So, this is the diaper wipe case I made for her and the bow! 

(it's removable I just added the headband)

I'm thinking about doing a giveaway soon if anyone is interested 

Easter bunny

I have been procrastinating the Easter Bunny and pics of my little with Mr. Bunny and this morning I woke up and was ready to get them done! (good thing huh? easter is TOMORROW) So, we ate, got ready and my little is a champ just all smiles from my happy little girl! Since daddy is still on deployment we posted this on his facebook page. 

Got Milk?

So, I was going to post more pics about our vacation but today Leilani had her 4 month check up and I am having a very hard time with what I was told. Since her 2 month check up my little has gained no weight, apparently and still only weighs 13 lbs. I was just completely baffled by this, because she is no longer wearing the 0-3 clothes and looks just healthy, her doctor told me to not worry they very at this stage but if she does not gain quite a bit of weight by her 6 month were going to have to switch her eating all together. Just a little fyi, I am full time breastfeeding and I give her a bottle of formula if I go out, or something and can't breastfeed her or don't feel comfortable. (It's a little bit more complicated cause I use a nipple shield, haha it's truely a life saver!) I didn't feel to bad but I had my doctors appointment right after my little's and my doctor was saying I'm probably not producing enough milk, and that I should supplement her more with formula. I just feel horrible, like my daughter isn't gaining weight and it's my fault cause I'm her food supply. I just don't understand why I'm not producing enough milk, and why she didn't gain weight... I want to breastfeed as long as I can, I personally cherish the time i have feeding her, which is why this whole situation is so frustrating to me. I guess I could up my water intake, but I don't know what else to do...any suggestions?

Were Back!

Hey Hey Folks we're home from our vacation! We flew in at 10 pm last night and we were finally in bed by midnight (well I was my little was passed out!) So, my apologies for not being on, but I will definitely be uploading pics from the adventures we had on our vacation. I am so happy to be home, but then again I'm super sad because it's so quiet without my cousins. I'm definitely missing the husband a lot to! I can't believe we just made it to the halfway point and still got more than a month left...
                    and I thought we were doing soo good staying busy to make time go by fast... We've been busy but unfortunately time has not been going by fast at all!! 


Anywho...I'm exhausted cause I had to finish all my math homework from the past week before 3:30 today so I could drop the little one with her great grandparents while I went to class. (Did I forget to mention I'm going back to school? Only one class for now..Math..) I also had to go to class early to make up a chapter test I missed. I also had to do laundry and unpack, and keep Leilani entertained since she's so used to being held all week all she wants is for momma to pick her up! So long story short. It's been a long day... But stay tuned for our little vacation

Everytime i think man this sucks I  Always remind myself ^

so Don't Worry Be Happy

California Get Away Day 1

Hey Folks! Who ever is reading this, My little and I are in California! Were visiting my cousins, aunty and uncle cause the hubby is still on deployment. I was honestly a little worried how Leilani would take flying but I realized my daughter is so well tempered. ( She gets that from her father) She was just all smiles and didn't get fussy at all which I was surprised cause I thought she would've been just a little from the pressure in her ears and what not. But she did great! I was so proud of her for being so good. She's such a sweet baby, I am truely blessed. We are enjoying the sun and she's getting tons of attention from all my cousins. ( my filipino side so it is a packed house!) My fear is that my little is going to get the cold that everyone else seems to have her, so I'm hoping she doesn't!

Got a few minutes?

If your like me you don't have much time to just sit around and paint your nails. For some reason plain old nail polish takes forever to dry, and I no longer have 15 mins to sit around and wait for my nails to dry. So I saw a commercial for 60 second nail polish and thought yes I should definitely try that, and you know what? It's AWESOME it may not dry exactly in 60 seconds but I have both hands done in less than 5 and for anybody who doesn't have much time but want to paint your nails I would HIGHLY recommend investing in this nail polish! Today I put on the grey color, just cause I'm into grey right now and it looks great! My only dislike about this nail polish is that after a week and a half it starts to kinda wash away, but that's common for any nail polish. 

revlon is not a sponsor, this is my personal opinion

It's Wednesday

I was raised in Oahu, (my daughter's name is Hawaiian) and sometimes I think back and truly miss those days. One thing I miss especially is the food! I am a big seafood lover and Hawaii is definitely the place to be if you love seafood. Lucky for me there is a Hawaiian restaurant near by and I indulged on my cravings and got some ahi poke ( like a salad). It's got raw tuna (ahi), onions, green onions, soy sauce and spices. Then I got some hawaiian sun to drink it all down. 

Yummyyyyy

Matt's Birthday Dinner at Fujiyama's

Korker Bows

So I have a new hobby I am currently into making Korker Bows for my little! I think she looks so adorable in them that I just can't help myself and I've just been making them. Plus their super easy to make!! So I thought I should share my new hobby :) These are the ones I have already made for her. 

So how do you make a Korker bow?

Step 1-take 3/8 ribbon (heat the ends so they don't fray) wrap it around a wooden dowel and clip with clothspins

Step 2- Bake in oven at 275 degrees for 25 minutes ( line the bottom with tin foil so they don't get dirty)

Step 3- Cool and twist off ribbon then cut into 2 inch sections

Step 4- Line about 30 2-inch sections in a pattern or not whichever way you want to do it. Then stack them on a needle using embroidery thread tie till you think their sturdy

Step 5- hot glue to a clip and your done! 

Simple as that!

Leilani loves her bows
