She Needs a Hideout!!

Baby Jelly Bean is now just over 16 months old. We've got this play thing, down to a science! Her Nana and Nono, shower her with gifts. As does Daddy. But you know what my darling daughter likes to play with most? Blankets, sheets, anything that she can make into a tent!

It's not lie! When I go to get her out of her crib, she's somehow draped her little blankie, to make a tent. And is under there, playing with her most favorite teddy! So I've been on the hunt, for a small tent. Something that is very kid friendly! Breathable. And still pretty. Something that can grow with her.

I haven't had much luck. The only one that I found, that I liked, was much too expensive! But I didn't give up. Kept Googling. That's when I found these pictures....



What do you think? A fun DIY project for Jose? That's what I'm thinking! If only I can find the actual site, where these are posted. But maybe, my lover can figure it out. From just these 2 pictures. He's good like that! ;) Let me tell you, I've convinced him to do so many projects!

Between, don't you just love those hanging pots? So colorful! And the chalk board. Don't get me started on the rug. Or the fabric on the tent. Such great ideas....all around!!



And such a cozy, and safe hideout, for our Baby Jelly Bean. I could actually see the 2 of us, in there, reading. Or just snuggling. This is definitely going on my "To-Do List!" :)

Easy Peasy!!

I found this picture, and thought, easy peasy! I can whip one of these up, for my sweet girl! With a G of course!! I just think it's so fun. And a perfect addition, for Baby Jelly Bean's "Art Wall." Can you say perfect timing? My grandma just gave me a HUGE jar of old buttons. Colorful and fun buttons. This is definitely the project to use them on. Now I just need to run to Hobby Lobby. I think I'm starting to become a crafter!! :)

When I Have Too Much Time....

My husband is working. He got a new client, and is spending hours, with his computer. Working on this new project. Baby Jelly Bean, is deep into her nap. Girly has been taking some good naps lately! Me? I'm supposed to be searching for a recipe. For our "Family Style Dinner." Every Tuesday and Thursday evening, we go to church. Enjoy a nice mass, and head to Memo's house for dinner. Every single week! During Lent, add in Friday nights. Don't forget, everyone has their parties at his house too!

Our Compadre just has the biggest heart ever! Enjoys having everyone over. Supplies 99.9% of the food. Gets upset, when we so much as try to clean up. But, I still want to contribute. In some way. I thought about baking something for tonight. That lead me to Google. My best, and worst, friend! While throwing some words into the search bar, I somehow, came up with these pictures!!



Um, hello! These just made my week! Can I have them? How do you make them? Oh, can you just imagine....



They'd add so much fun, to our kitchen. Immediately, I went to our kitchen. And realized, that we don't own many wooden utensils. That's unfortunate! But we do have 2 spoons. And I realized, I bought a 4 pack of wooden utensils, not too long ago. What did I do with them?

I figure, I can paint my own. I called our Commadre, and asked her advise on the paint. She told me exactly what to buy. And I've got my list. Oh, ya. I was supposed to be looking for recipes. Maybe I should just head to the store. Pick up my supplies. And a few cake mixes, with frosting. Cupcakes sound good to me! Maybe I'll throw in a few of these fun spoons, for our Compadre too! :)

Super Sweet and Fun!

I sort of wish, that I'd found this picture, before Baby Jelly Bean's birthday party. Don't the garlands look so fun? I also adore the colors!! I'm going to file this, in my brain. For her 2nd birthday. But these colors, they just inspire me. Maybe I'll use them, to start decorating my office. I just think these colors, are so happy and fun! :)

Start Growing

Marissa always comes up with some ideas. Always! Things that seem, well beyond her years. She came to us, last night, and started telling us about "water gardening!" I'm thinking, her class has to be doing something like this. She just kept on and on....and on! I love that girl! She's always teaching us new things.



Well, by the end of dinner, she convinced us all, to grow our own green onions. Poor Sals. I'm thinking, she's going to be growing lettuce. In her windowsill! But don't you dare think, that a 6 year old, doesn't know what she's talking about. When I got home, I took to Google! And this process, is all the rage! I better get my green onions started. :)

Little Reindeers

I just found this picture. These are little reindeer, hair clips. Made out of ribbon and jingle bells. So perfect, that I can't stand it! I might just have to try the "Crafty World." Because these cuties, are just too perfect for Christmas! And my sweet girl!! :)

I Might Have to...

I just might have to get my craft on. Because I seen these little guys. And immediately I thought of Jose. I think I want to make a few of these for Easter. I think it would be cute to have them around our living room and kitchen. And wouldn't that be so yummy to dig into? I better get to the store. I might have to call La Chiquitita for some help too. But this could be fun! :)
