College Colors Day

I just had to show me and the little guy off representing our favorite college for College Colors Day.

Have a great Labor Day weekend!!


Oh yeah and GO GAMECOCKS!!!!

I need what? Oh yea--I forgot about that.

I'm standing in mini-me's room looking around and I can't help but think I'm forgetting something. Something small and not quite so obvious. There are some bigger things that we still have yet to get. But I couldn't help put my finger on it that I was forgetting something so important and yet so random that I would totally be unprepared and up shit's creek (pardon the language), if I didn't get it now. That's when I thought:

"DAMN I NEED BABY BOTTLES!!!"

Even though I'm going to breastfeed, I can't very well take mini to class with me, so she will have to get bottle during the 3 hours I'm gone. How I can forget bottles is beyond me. Even more important: Why did we throw away the boy's bottles to begin with?

Fabric Rosettes

I have been looking everywhere for a decent rosette tutorial. And honestly I haven't been able to find one anywhere. I've been looking for a specific kind of rosette to make for a DIY project that I'm doing for mini-me's room and honestly I'm to the point now where I'm getting frustrated.

After hundreds of websites, YT videos and so on, I finally came across one that is close enough to what I want. While I had not thought of doing a pleated rosette this particular tutorial made it almost simple enough that even I could follow with my fat pregnancy fingers!

I am still looking for an easier method--I have quite a few burns from the glue gun--and sewing is just out of the question. Oh well. I guess until then, I will be ordering bulk rosettes from etsy.

90's Are All That

I was getting myself ready for bed last night, when my wonderful brother posted the most awesome facebook announcement ever.

Teen Nick will be airing 90's Nickelodeon shows in a 2 hour block starting at midnight for the time being. I was uber excited considering those were some of the best shows of my childhood.

As I anxiously awaited midnight, the video montage of the Nick shows began playing and I saw a lot of my fav's: Kenan & Kel, All That, Hey Dude, Pete & Pete, Legends of the Hidden Temple and so on. Then I caught a glimpse of my hero--Stick Stickly. Stick a was staple during summertime Nick show's and a very cool host might I add.

I am a little disappointed that they won't be showing Roundhouse. I a lot of people seem to have forgotten about that show--at least I know I can find the SNICK DVD's at Big Lot's for $1. So I may have to go there to catch some episodes. I figure if you can't get it on Netflix, they just need to bring it back on. Wasn't that the purpose of NickToons and Teen Nick in the first place? (at least they used to show all of these shows). I  do wish they would come on just a little bit earlier, because the boy would love to watch "Doug". We watched "Where on earth is Carmen Sandiego" and "Captain Planet" and he loves both of those shows.  All I need is to find episodes of "Recess", "The Weekenders" and "Pepper Ann" and I will be whole once again.
