How long has my hair grown over the past year with no hair cuts? BEFORE and AFTER: I really thought it would be longer than that by now, but I guess without the prentatal vitamins, the growth is slower. It’s getting trimmed up tomorrow in preparation for Erin’s Independence Day wedding and my brother’s wedding [...]

Vampire Baby and her beloved blueberries and raspberries
Look at this little vampire! Just kidding, that’s not blood, just raspberries. Between the raspberry mess from eating and the blueberry mess from …ah, you know, … this girl is getting daily baths. Good thing she LOVES it. She’s a water baby, just like her momma. Especially, if there’s a rubber ducky. Pin It
Pin ItOperation Purple Dress Update – Dress ready!
I did it! It fits and it’s now altered (dress shortened to one length and straps added). Had a fitting yesterday and picked it up. So excited to see the final product…and to fit in it! What in the world, Ellie?! Such a troublemaker! This is one happy bridesmaid. Can’t wait for Erin’s wedding! So, [...]
Pin ItRun. Blog. Give. and Tri Training Update
So, remember when I said I was doing the Iron Girl Triathlon? I’m kind of starting to FREAK OUT! Yeah. Even though I’ve been staying active and eating better (and losing 31 pounds since January), I really haven’t been “training”. To swim 1000 m, bike 17.5 miles, and run a 5K with no training sounds [...]
Upcoming Upcycling Challenge in July
I’m excited to announce that I’m participating in this Free From Trash challenge in July. We’ll see if I can pull it off without pulling my hair out. But first, I’d like to discuss a little bit about what upcycling really is and why it’s important. Reusing is when you are able to continue to [...]
Pin ItBreaking a new babysitter / Happy anniversary, honey.
About a month ago, I started another search for babysitters through Care.com in preparation for our anniversary night out. I’m much more relaxed about babysitting than I used to be and I wanted to find someone a little less expensive. Early on, I was willing to pay that $13/hr rate, but now it just seems [...]
Saying Goodbye to all the Clutter
Does anyone else feel uneasy or anxious when there’s just “too much” stuff around you? I do. I’ve spent the last month or so, slowly cleaning out our house of all the excess stuff we have accumulated (and I still have a long way to go). It’s unbelievable how many things have moved with me [...]

Pin ItMaking Your Own Cloth Wipes and Wipe Solution
Months and months ago, I made about 40 cloth wipes. It’s taken me until now to actually start using them because we’ve been stocked with disposables. It was time to finally take the plunge and it is honestly making my life easier. First, how did I make them? 1. I bought a few yards of [...]
Pin ItSesame St. Themed Birthday Planning – Party Outfit Part Three (Headband)
Time to make a matching headband for the birthday outfit. I got a half yard of crochet stretch headband from Joann’s. Cut your material into 9in x 3in strips and start knotting, staying as close to one spot as possible. I used four tulle strips of each color. Then, I felt like it was too [...]
