30 day count down

I got this great idea from my sister in law, well sort of. she is doing 50 days of christmas. which got me thinking, "I wonder if I could blog everyday". So I decided to count down the days to my jaw surgery. I know it's not as exciting as christmas, but it is something to countdown to. hahaha I hope to make it interesting with fun snippets of my day to day life with my two wonderful little boys. I have a confession, It is actually 29 days till my surgery, but 30 days sounded better. So this being the first day of the count down I would like to share a few of the sewing projects my grandma and I have been working on.

Bandana bibs

I started this project by buying fabric for Hayden, and had some left over so I thought I would use it up for some last minute gift Ideas. I then realized that I did not have any girly fabrics, so I obviously had to get some girly ones too :)

Pillows for Hayden's room

These don't look like too much right now, but when the bench seat is done as well as more pillows, they will look fabulous :) I don't know if you can see, but there is a tiny sample of fabric in the corner of the picture. those are the wonderful curtains that will soon be hung, as soon as Mr. Micheal has some free time, can't wait!

So I hope the first day of the countdown didn't disappoint. till tomorrow, xoxo

Something Magical

For those who know me, you probably know That I'm not really into cleaning. I can tidy, but cleaning isn't my thing. It doesn't excite me or relieve stress, or what ever people say it does. I can always find something better to do with my time. anyways, the other day I was folding laundry, hahaha which also hardly happens, but anyways, I came across my one Norwex cloth I own. Yes, I actually bought one!! I bought it to try it, to see if it really works, do my own experiments and what have you. So when coming across this cloth while folding the laundrysomething magical happened. I was transformed into some crazy cleaning lady! I can't explain the powers of the cloth, but all I know is that it took this none cleaning lady and made her into some crazy cleaning freak! I started cleaning anything I walked past, The couch, the chairs, the table, the fridge, you name it, I cleaned it and at the end of my crazy adventure, I cleaned the floor on my hands and knees with it! Geez, the only explanation I can think of is, I really want this cloth to fail, so I tried everything to try and make it fail, but all it did was leave my couch spotless from any drool marks or spills, made my kitchen more sparkley than MR. Clean and made my floors streak free and supper slippery that even Hudson slipped (he never slips). Needless to say, my house is clean this week and my norwex cloth is retired for now, until next laundry day!

baby #2

pregnancy has been uneventful, well until 28 weeks when I found out I have gestational Diabetes, well controlled by diet, so not the worst kind. after I got that news I jetted off the the british virgin Islands for some well needed relaxation :D we saw a lot of sites, and my baby belly saw everything and every one. I think it grew while I was a way, hard to tell though cause I see it every day. good thing there are picks to show theprogress! all the lovely Island women could see right through my belly or something and told me "its a girl"!!!! if only they were a reliable source, life would be good and I could go home and create a beautiful room for her. but is not the case, and we will have to wait and see!
