free to a good home

do you know someone with this monogram...these notecards could belong to them.

These were an error, when I ordered stationary...and they let me keep them.

But I do not need them, NOR is this my monogram...so please help them find a home.

Dada's change has a NEW HOME!!!

Something new for you to view...

It's a Tu-Tutorial...

When I found this "how to" for Tu-Tu's (back in 2008...just after the kids were born) I knew I would need to make one of these; therefore I became a follower...as you should, because she has awesome ideas!!!  This has to me the cutest Tu-Tu, I have ever seen.  It cost me $7.81(have seen them for 4x that at etsy stores) and took me 40 minutes from start to finish.  The hardest (ok...not really hard, more like tedious) part was cutting the tulle into strips...after that it was all smooth sailing. 

I did have to sew the elastic together (I have seen some that staple, but I needed mine to survive), overlapping 1/2" - 1".  I reinforced the stitching by, continuing to sew over and over again...I needed it to hold.

I, then slipped the elastic onto my thigh, and began looping the strips of tulle. I did it while watching a football game...really, this was the easiest thing! After about 20-25 minutes of looping, I was finished.  This is the cutest Tu-Tu I have ever seen...would make a great costume, a welcome to any dress up box, or even a great idea for a party favor!!
 

My Ballerina thought it was the best thing ever...she ran around the house twirling, standing on her toes and even lifted a leg once in a while.  I think she is preparing me for dance lessons, but for now...this is PERFECT!!!

CHRISTmas in the Land before Time...

We celebrated CHRISTmas in the "Land before Time" with my family the first weekend of January. The kids love going to Nanny & Paw Paw's and to see Aunt Tee, Uncle Earl and Shelby makes it even better. We have been celebrating CHRISTmas in January for a few years now, and it takes the pressure off...no rushing around, no worrying if you are going to get ham or turkey AGAIN...this is relaxed and fun.

Aunt Tee loves James and Maggie as if they were her own, and always has them the coolest presents. Like the Elmo and Zoe hats...what could be cooler.  James and Maggie thought they were hot stuff with those hats...

In addition to their hats, James and Maggie received a Radio Flyer Wagon. This is an awesome gift, and will be used a ton while they are home each day with Mimi. One person cannot push two tricycles, but pulling a wagon is easily done! They are in heaven...

In addition, James received a new set of tools and Maggie received a new baby (which is also named Baby Maggie...like her other two babies...she's goes with what she knows).

All in all, the day was great...and a much needed nap was taken on the way home. See, I told you he loved his new Elmo!!!

I am such a proud mama...and I am so glad all the hustle and bustle is over...welcome 2011, please try to go slow- I want to enjoy the moment!

2010...a year in review!

Lots of milestones met and conquered...many more to come in 2011
