Hi everyone!

I have a review for you today that I am really excited about.

This is a game called Square by Square.

As soon as I had read a little about it I knew I wanted it for my son. 

Are you wondering why?

Well, I love anything that will challenge his growing and developing little mind, and it's fun!

How can you go wrong with that?!

Flannel Baby Blanket

I'm really on a baby kick here lately.

I feel bad though.

When I was pregnant last year there were so many things I wanted to make for my baby, but I just didn't have the time or resources to get much done.

I think I'm making up for not making my baby as much stuff by making stuff for others :)

I found this adorable soft flannel fabric at my mom's house and knew I wanted to make something with it.

 My sister-in-law is pregnant with a boy, so I had an idea for a baby blanket, one you could use to lay on the ground if your at someone's house, or outside on the grass.

So this is what I came up with...I think I this project only took me about 35-40 minutes.

Grapefruit and Blood Orange Popsicles

With the warm weather approaching I have the perfect healthy treat to help your family cool down!

Popsicles are a staple at our house during the summer months.

It's one of my favorite things. 

Sitting on the porch with my son, talking, and cooling down with some popsicles make for some good memories.

Make it some homemade popsicles and it can't get any better. I love these because I know exactly what's in them :)

A big shout-out goes to my husband who introduced me to this delicious concoction :)

15 Minute Burp Cloths

I am in love with these burp cloths.

They are so quick and easy to make, and can we just say, adorable?!

If you remember, a few weeks ago, I did a post for DIY Reversible Bibs.

Check out that post for a free template for the bibs. Once you are done with that, you use the same fat quarter and make a matching burp cloth!

'Yoda Best' FREE Valentine Printable

Yes. This is a Valentine's post, in March...
I feel like I have kind of been all over the place lately...Don't worry people, I'm trying to get organized!
So, this will hopefully come in handy for you next year :)
My son is in preschool this year, which means it was going to be his first time handing out Valentines.

I had been thinking about what he would take to school for weeks...I get really excited around holidays, especially since I have kids. They make everything more fun and magical :)

So if you remember, a few months ago my son requested a Star Wars themed birthday party.

Well, we were still loving Star Wars, so my son said he wanted to do that for Valentine's Day.

This was so fun to make because we did all of the planning together.

I gave my son some ideas and he said he wanted to give out something with Yoda and light sabers (glow sticks).
This is what we came up with.

DIY Reversible Bibs

My beautiful little chunky baby is 7 1/2 months old already!

It's true :( it's going by so quickly.

After I had my first son I held onto everything.

I knew I would be using it all again.

There are a couple of things I didn't use as much with my first that I am constantly using with my second. I had received some bibs during my first pregnancy where there is fabric on one side and a towel on the other. Well, my second baby is a drooler :). He is always sucking or chomping on everything, and his shirts get kind of soaked. So, I have been using those towel/fabric bibs, but I only had 2. 

These bibs are the best for catching drool, so I decided I needed to make some more for myself.

How to Remove Carpet Stains

Today I have a cleaning post for you.

Let's start out with our before and afters, shall we?

Looks pretty good, eh?

I first saw this carpet cleaning method over at DIY & Crafts and I pinned it for a time when I would need it.

Well as you can tell in the before picture, I needed it :)

This was our apartment in California. This was our family room area, just after walking in through the front door.

When we first moved in they had just cleaned the carpets.

It looked beautiful.
