Mickey Mouse Hooded Towel

One of my sweet little nephews celebrated his first birthday not too long ago, and his birthday was Mickey Mouse Clubhouse themed.

My baby has a hooded towel, and I love that I can wrap him up all snug and warm after a bath, so that's what I wanted to make for my nephew.

At first I thought about making a cute animal towel, but as soon as I saw some black and red towels at the store one day I knew I wanted to try and make him a Mickey Mouse hooded towel to go along with his birthday theme.

I searched online for some ideas, but I wanted to make something different than what I had seen, so this is what I came up with.
To get an idea of the finished size here we have my 14 month old modeling for you.
(This towel also fit my almost 6 year old, it went down to his calf).

Avengers Super Hero Capes

Do you remember from my last post I mentioned that I had been designing and crafting?
Well, I am here now to show you what I was up to!

I had someone place an order for some super hero masks, and she then asked if I could do capes as well.

I have made capes in the past, but nothing like this.

 I told her I could make some, and I was so excited to come up with these templates!

Roasted Red Bell Pepper Hummus

Alright, so I am finally getting around to a post here!

That took a lot longer than I anticipated. I was all excited to dive back into blogging, but for the last week I was designing and creating, and I am so excited to post that for you soon, but for now I really wanted to share this amazing recipe!

About a year ago I really wanted to try making hummus.

I searched through recipes to get an idea of how it should all come together and then my husband and I kind of created this one.

I am not going to lie, it is a little time consuming, but the results are SO worth it!!

Creamy Tomato and Spinach Pasta

I have a new recipe to share with you!

This dish is delicious folks!!

The great thing about this recipe is that it can work with whatever pasta you have on hand. We've used shells and tortellini. You could use ravioli, penne, spaghetti, anything! You can even go gluten-free here.

Roasted Cauliflower Soup

I am so excited to share this soup with you today!

This recipe was added to our rotation just a few short months ago, and we've made it A LOT :)

Before making this I had never cooked with cauliflower...ever...weird, I know.

I was intrigued when the recipe said to roast the cauliflower first, and was excited to try this new technique.
I have to tell you, after I roasted the cauliflower, I snuck a couple because I wanted to see what flavors I was dealing with, and it was so good! You could actually just eat it like that. But, you should also try it in this amazing soup :)

Just a quick note, if you recall, my mom is a celiac and my parents were over one night while I was making this. I wanted them to have a chance to try it, so I decided to substitute 1 Tbsp corn starch for the 1 Tbsp flour, and it became gluten-free!

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.
