Pregnancy Announcement and some advice

I've got some exciting news to share...

That's right!

We are expecting baby #3!!

(I actually started this post last week...so we are already a week behind...better late than never I guess!)

We are beyond thrilled and our little family can't wait to embark on this journey together.

I actually took the pregnancy test on a Saturday while my husband and oldest son were out running errands. I of course wanted to tell them when they got back, and it seemed like it took them FOREVER to get home!

I showed them the test and we all started jumping, screaming, hugging...it was awesome!

Brobee Birthday Cake Tutorial

Last week we celebrated my baby's 2nd birthday with a Yo Gabba Gabba themed party.

One of his favorite episodes is 'Birthday' where the character Brobee has a birthday party, and they have a Brobee cake.

My son talked about that for almost two weeks, so I knew I wanted to try and create one for him.

 *Before we get started, I just want to say that I am in no-way a professional cake decorator, or claim to be one. My methods might even be completely wrong, I just wanted to share how I was able to create this cake in hopes that someone else could benefit from the information.

PVC Pipe Sprinkler 'Ride-through'

We had an incredibly hot June this year.

Like low 100's every day for almost the whole month!

Needless to say, we needed some ways for the kids to cool down...

I grabbed my stash of random PVC pipe pieces, and after searching Pinterest for a few minutes, came up with a plan.

I saw a picture for this idea but when I clicked the link it didn't take me anywhere.

I decided to just try looking at the picture, and pretty much figure out what I needed to do.

I think the whole think only took about 30 minutes or so to get it done.

We have a plumbing/sprinkler supply store really close to our house, so we made a quick trip over there to find the connector pieces.

PVC Pipe Curtain Rod

A couple of weeks ago I shared the Color Block Curtains I made for my son's room.
I mentioned at the end of the post that I had hung the curtains with hardware and a rod for about $3.
I am back now to show you what I used and how it all came together.

We had a lot of pvc pipe my parents gave us a while ago, so I figured we should start using up some of it!

Patriotic Pinwheel Headband

A few weeks ago I was talking to my neighbor and her little girl was wearing the cutest romper!

It was red with white stars, the perfect little outfit for the upcoming 4th of July holiday.

I jumped at the opportunity to make her a headband to complete her look :)

Let's dive right in and see how this little beauty was made!

Superman and Wonderwoman Felt Mask Templates

About 2 weeks ago I received an email from a woman wanting to purchase some super hero masks.

Along with some of the masks I have previously shared here on the blog, she had wanted to see if I was able to make some Wonder Woman and Superman masks as well.
It was something I knew I could tackle, so I got to work.

I was super excited with my design and idea, and then I went online and saw a lot of different variations, with quite a few similar to mine, and realized my design wasn't really unique.

Oh well :-/ I was proud of it.

You can't really change up super hero images too much!

So along with the other templates and designs, here are mine :)

To start out, you will need to print out the FREE templates for these masks.
