Projects!

Ok so lately I have been super busy! Between Little Prince and Little Princess getting sick, family activities, working on cleaning up so we can rearrange our house, sewing and just being a mom we have had quite a few weeks. Our house is decorated for Christmas, Christmas Presents are wrapped and we are so excited for Christmas with 2 kiddos instead of one and to celebrate in our own house. It will be so fun.

Anyways, my Brother-in-law is leaving on his mission in less than a week, and so we are doing his Christmas tomorrow. We will be doing our usual get matching PJ's and this year I really wanted my kids to have PJ's that match us so we can get a cute picture. Well of course its hard to find Pj's for adults and for children that are the same so heres what we did.....

We bought these....

1 XXL pair of Pants

3 large Shirts

Cut them up, did a little sewing, a little ironing, and some clipping threads and made these.....

1 toddler shirt/pants and 2 infant shirt/pants....

I love they turned out, Now we hope they fit!

Love,

What have I been up to?

No good as always. I am really trying to declutter and organize my house but that is hard when you have two little ones that require a lot of attention and one of which makes messes as fast as you can pick them up. I focus on one room and another gets torn apart, and vise versa. Someday I will get on top of things, and hopefully sooner rather than later. I have big plans for the house. Some rearranging to do, if I can get the hubby on board. We will see.

I also have some sewing projects that I now have less than a week to finish. Once I get them done I will for sure take pictures and post them on here!

I have updated the family blog, so you can go check that out as well. I am trying to become a better mom, but that takes a lot of work and patience on my part. Hopefully I can keep up with all I wish to do.

I am thinking of some new years resolutions currently..... I will post them when I get them set in stone. Maybe that will help me keep them...... ha ha ha thats funny.

Sorry this point is so disjointed it is after midnight and I can't sleep!

What have I been up to?

I have been super busy lately, with sicknesses, cleaning, working on certain projects, and taking care of kids I have been super busy. Being a stay at home mom isn't as easy as it sounds..... I can't really post the projects here because some of them are for Christmas Presents. I can say that I am almost done with most of them. We have a lot of gifts under the tree and have almost all the gifts bought that need to be bought. It's been fun getting ready for Christmas this year. I am excited for Little Princess to experiance it think she will have tons of fun now that she understands it more.
I will share one project I did. I wanted to make sure that Little Princess had a Thanksgiving shirt, so I found one on pinterest and made it.... it turned out super cute. Here it is:

 

I found the pattern on pinterest and thought hey I can totally make that! I have another one that is a Christmas tree that I plan to make for Christmas time. I also have to make some PJ bottoms for the kids and shirts as well and those have to be done in 15 days..... I have a lot to do before Christmas. But I have a wonderful husband who supports me and so I can get them done. Anywho  got to go to bed.

When Life Gives You Lemons....

So can I just tell you how much I hate allergies. The last two times I have gotten sick with colds it is right after I have had a major allergy attack. I have your typical allergies hay fever, but I am also immensly allergic to rabbits, hay and cats. The problem is my in-laws have a cat which my daughter loves, and try as I may I can't get it into her head not to touch the cat and unless I am outside with her it doesn't get enforced. Well two Saturdays ago we went to my inlaws to carve pumpkins, I came home and Sunday had a major allergy attack that medicine wouldn't touch. Then on Monday I woke up with a scratchy throat and by the end of the day my nose was runny. Little Prince started to sound stuffy on Thursday, and little princess got sick the next day. So even though Halloween is over I have not been able to work on anything as far as cleaning, organizing etc.... I did do one thing that I am proud of and that is make a menu for the week as we are trying to eat out a lot less. So I thought I would share my Menu for this week with you:

Sunday: Dinner with my Parents (Roast, Potatos, Gravy, Corn and Rolls. It was nummy.)
Monday: Frito's Taco Salad
Tuesday: Crockpot Cheesy Chicken Spaghetti (normally we do Taco Tuesday with my Parents, but this Tuesday we are taking a break.)
Wednesday: Taco Pizza
Thursday: Teriyaki Chicken Bowls
Friday: Chicken Noodle Casserole (I didn't find this one online.)
Saturday: Stack Dinners (A family recipe, this is to use the leftover veggies from earlier this week.)

Hopefully we can stick to this menu and I can continue to make a menu, to help us cut down on food costs.

I am also trying to get all my Christmas shopping and projects done before Thanksgiving, so that will take up some time.

So life will be busy, I want to organize/deep clean my house before the New Year.

I will be busy for the next few months, but it will be a good thing. Keep checking back for more updates!
