My Babies

This is who I am spending my weekend with. 

 

Behind the scenes:

This is what my children do all the time.  Puke.  All over the place.  Lovely.  I feel like I am constantly surrounded by puke, pee and poop.  The joy of 3 kids!

 

Enjoy your weekend!

$11 Print DIY

Jenny @ Little Green Notebook took this pinterest inspired print to the next level.  I have seen a few people print low quality large blue print sizes prints and hang them.  The painted subtle edge just adds that extra touch that I just LOVE.  Check out her blog for the full tutorial.

I Spy...

a great DIY!  Okay, Cheesy I know, but I just thought this was an amazing project.


Courtney @ A Thoughtful Place made these picture frames that were inspired by a House Beautiful ad.  I read the same magazine and probably didn't pause 2 seconds looking at that picture and just kept moving on.

For her full tutorial, check it out HERE.

Farmers Market Fashion

Today I wore some blue COLORED denim (the picture on the right) that I have seen all over the place and I LOVE the trend. 

I wore it with a longer white shirt (like the picture in the middle) and while not exactly looking as accessorized and sexy as these girls as I push my double stroller around, I still thought it looked good. 

I walked down stairs and the first thing out of my husbands mouth is "WHAT ARE YOU WEARING?"

Not sure how to react, not sure if I should trust his iffy fashion sense, I waited to see my sister in law.

I didn't say anything but the first thing out of her mouth?  "I Love Your Jeans!" 

So I wore them on our outing to the farmers market.

10 points for getting dressed today.  -10 points for being the spectacle at the farmers market. 

Picture two adults, 6 kids.  4 toddlers, 2 newborns, 2 sets of twins, 2 double strollers. 

We were quite the scene. 

Dining Room Makeover

I was over at a friends house a while ago and she asked me for some advise on how to add some personality to her just moved in brand new built home.

This is the hutch before, can you believe she debating taking this to the dump?

Here is her dining room.  The wall on the right is where the hutch went.

Before it looked great, but it looked like a newly built home that nobody lived in yet!

I started a pinterest board to show her what I was thinking.  Some of these included:

To show what a hutch with FULL glass doors would look like

The same stencil we liked, just a different color.

Here is what it looked like when she was done!

I think she did a great job and I am so proud of her for doing it all herself.

For those having babies

I just made these car seat covers and so wish I would have known about this a month ago.

Then Came You by Jennifer Weiner

 From Good Reads:

The lives of four very different women intertwine in unexpected ways in this new novel by bestselling author Jennifer Weiner (In Her Shoes; Best Friends Forever). Each woman has a problem: Princeton senior Jules Wildgren needs money to help her dad cure his addiction; Pennsylvania housewife Annie Barrow is gasping to stay financially afloat; India Bishop yearns to have a child, an urge that her stepdaughter Bettina can only regard with deeply skepticism until she finds herself in a most unexpected situation. Interlocking dramas designed to ensnare; bound to be a bestseller.

My Review:

As someone who struggled with infertility and used IVF to concieve I was very much looking forward to reading this book.  After waiting for it forever at the library I finally just bought it.  

This was my least favorite from Weiner. I don't understand why every book about infertility has to have a same sex couple. Every book in general now includes a same sex couple. I don't object to this I just can't relate nor do I find it interesting. I would recommend never buy this book but might read it from the library. I would not recommend it to a friend.

My Rating: 2 out of 5 Stars.
