small dress = shirt

I got this idea from my friend Ester (http://www.sewingtheseed.com/)...
Use your daughter's baby dresses for shirts as they grow! Here is Cora in a 0-3 month dress, then and now...

I'm starving...

Cora is almost 7 months old. It is time to start taking this baby weight gain seriously! It is time because we went to a pool party over the weekend and I couldn't hide behind jeans and a tee!

I have eaten healthy all day and now it is evening and I'm starving. My evening spoonful of cookie dough is the enemy. I will be strong!!

I think I'm so creative...

So I ran out of baby food and Cora needed to eat (so demanding... ha). I looked in the fridge to see what I could muster up. Bananas. Strawberries. Rice Cereal. Good! Mash up some banana... mash up a strawberry and add a bit of rice cereal... instant baby food. The whole time I'm doing this I'm thinking... "Wow, I'm so creative!" Mmmmmm... I just mashed up some fruit and added cereal.... so I'm not really creative.
Here are my not-so-creative baby food ideas:
(add rice cereal to thicken & water to thin on all of these)
1) Mash banana, strawberry. Nuke the strawberry to cook out potential allergy stuff.
2) Mash up mango
3) Mash up your sides at dinner. I've done rice, beans, noodles...

I'll add more to this blog whenever I'm not feeling creative!

Impromptu Picnic...

We had a picnic last night and it really helped to spice up our leftover dinner of pizza and spaghetti. I did roast some fresh yummy veggies. We ate and chatted in the almost Autumn air while Eli played basketball.
I wish I could say that the picnic was just my creative idea, but in actuality our dining room was an explosion of all my sewing!!!


I'm working on new shirts for Eli's Lids.
I love sewing :)
