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! :)

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. :)

Babylegs

I had never heard about Babylegs before. Until I was talking to Sals. She was telling me that La Chiquitita had made some for a friend. Whose baby is crawling. They're supposed to protect the baby's knees and legs from rug burns. Heck, I had no clue.

I came home and Googled them. Have I told you? I have a love affair going on with google. But I found these. For $12. And they're cute. Now I'm not yet a mommy, but I'm learning new things every day. It's a good thing we have friends who already have babies. :)

Nursery Love

Now that we know that we're having a baby girl, I've been searching for nursery themes. Well, not really themes. But more of cute nursery looks. If you haven't figured it out, we really like bright colors. And lots of color.

But I really want a white nursery. Something clean looking. Believe it or not, we don't have a single white room in our home. But we also wanted color. Something cheerful and bright. Something our daughter could grow with.

Today I found these pictures! This just got all my creative juices flowing. And I really need to talk to La Chiquitita now. I know she will have all sorts of wonderful ideas for us. :)



I just love the idea of a painted crib. Something bright and cheerful. Maybe we could go with a bright pink one or even turquoise.



I just love the colorful rug! And the bright chair. I'm just not sure I'd want that much orange in Baby Jelly Bean's nursery.



I like the idea of all those picture frames. But I would want to paint them bright and fun colors. And then I would like to add some lullaby type pictures. Maybe painting some letters spelling out her name. And the dresser, I would like to buy a white one, like this one. But this add some color. Maybe colorful knobs or adding paint to the edges. Something like that.

But I'm feeling so inspired. I have so many ideas. I just don't know how to put them together. That's why I need La Chiquitita's help. We have a few months. But something is telling me, that I need to start moving on this. I just feel ready to begin now. :)

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! :)
