I will be honest - I wrote that with absolutely no intention of starting training until sometime long from now, like June-ish. We are going away for my brother's wedding in June so I figured I would start after we got back. Then back in mid-January I received a message from friend Michelle - she was tossing around the idea of entering a race late spring. In my head I started my list of excuses: now just wasn't the time. I
wasn't prepared, I was still nursing, how would I find the time to
train, I didn't have a sports bra that fit, I have a 4 month old, and last but not least - I
am lazy! I promptly declined but offered to help support her training.<br />
Then my guilt kicked in. Why was I making all these excuses? It was on my to-do list, which I specifically posted on my blog so I would be accountable, and yet here I was avoiding the challenge. So the next morning I researched the race Michelle wanted to enter and made my decision - I was DONE MAKING EXCUSES!! I wrote my friend to let her know I had changed my mind and then I started to plot my training. Within the week I signed up and paid my non-refundable fees - and I was officially entered to run a 5K (GULP). Well at least I am not doing it alone. Michelle and I even managed to rope in another friend of ours, Tara.<br />
<br />
The race we are doing is the <a href="http://www.solesistersrace.com/womensrace/" target="_blank">Sole Sisters Women's Race</a>. Race date is June 8th, and I am not gonna lie, I am a wee bit excited (and a large bit nervous!) From what I have found online and heard from friends, it is an empowering and inspiring event. The race isn't timed and you can choose to either walk or run the 5K. I have also heard there is a High-5 station and a chocolate break. The chocolate break alone will be worth it for me! There is also a big after-race celebration and other fun things going on so the girls and I booked a hotel and will be making it a fun girls night! With 2 kids each - we definitely deserve a night out after running 5K.<br />
<br />
Well enough imaging how great it will be and all the fun we will have - it's back to reality and actually getting in shape to run the race! I decided to use the Couch25K program. I used it the last time I trained and really liked it (and was successful at it too!) I had tried training many times before only to push myself too hard, too fast which led to frustration and giving up. The Couch25K program allows me to gradually work up to 5K and I can run at a pace that works for me (and my short little legs.) I am currently getting ready to start my third week of the 9 week program - intervals are getting a bit longer this week, yikes! I have been feeling really good about my running so far, my knees on the other hand are not feeling the running love. But I am taking it slow and really focusing on my posture and where I land on my feet and that seems to be helping my knees a bit. I figure I am better off going slow now and try and work it out rather then injuring myself right before the race!<br />
<br />
I do my running on a treadmill in the basement, and I would never make it through a session if I didn't have my music. I love losing myself in the rhythm of the songs and then my feet run on their own and it doesn't feel like a chore. I am also motivated by the fact that I know Tara and Michelle are counting on me to keep up my end of the bargain. That and I have to set a good example so that I can give them a hard time! Yeah, I have a tough love training attitude! <br />

I have been a weekly meal planner for a while now and found that it really did help to alleviate the pressure of the dreaded "what are we going to have for supper?" It got me planning meal ideas and making sure I had the proper groceries on hand for the week. It did not, however, help with the actual preparation of the meal and took no consideration to getting out of work late and being <strike>tired</strike> exhausted. i kept it up for a fairly long stretch, and then we moved and lived in a teeny, tiny apartment while doing renovations and let's just say it did not successfully make the move with us. I tried a few times to pick it back up but it was hard and I was completely unmotivated and uninspired. Then I had baby #2 and as he started to ease into somewhat of a routine I started pinning ideas and really thinking about how to get healthy meals on the table without spending all afternoon in the kitchen. I wanted to be able to nap if both kids (by some great miracle) were napping. Or I wanted to relax if one was napping and the other was playing contently. In my search I came across a lady who did her meal planning and prepping for a month. She explained it all out and shared her recipes and tips. While I was reading this, I thought to myself - using her recipes and my tried and true recipes I should easily be able to fill more than a month.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">So shortly after New Year's I started to tackle my goal. I planned, and I planned, and I PLANNED. It took me a good seven days to be able to get it all straightened away and my grocery list ready. But by being meticulus this time, I am pretty much prepared for the next time and will only have to tweak my grocery list instead of starting from scratch and pouring over every recipe. Here is what I did:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">First, I printed out a blank calendar for January and February, gathered and printed my recipes, found a pencil and a stack of looseleaf.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Next, I filled out any special days, meals, dinners on my calendar. For example, I knew we were going to Jason's parents' place for the weekend so I did not write any meals on those days. And Shrove (Pancake) Tuesday would be in February so I already knew we would be having pancakes that day. I also decided that we should try Meatless Monday and Fish Thursday to ensure we had a good variety of meals.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">After the special days were filled in I just started filling in the days. I tried to have variety between the chicken, pork and beef recipes and any recipes that seemed similar I tried to space them out. Some of the recipes are easily doubled so I used some twice but made sure they were well spaced. My planned meals were to begin on the 15th of January and I filled my calendar to the end of February. You may also want to keep in mind what else is going on in your life. So if you have a meal you prepare the day of, you may save it for a weekend when you have more time and keep the slowcooker meals for throughout the week when you won't have time/want to prepare so you can just dish it out and enjoy.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Then I went through and wrote on the top corner of the recipe whether it was to be made single or double. That way I would buy enough ingredients.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Once I had that done I started compiling my grocery list. You will need a whole piece of paper to do this - not a little piece on a notepad. On the top part of the paper I used for items that would be common and in more than one recipe, like green pepper, onions, certain types of meat. The bottom part of the paper was for items that were only in one or two recipes. I made sure there was room to write beside each item in case I had to increase the amount I needed. I then went through each recipe and started adding or tallying what I needed. Some things I already had in my cupboards, just by chance or because they are basic staples. Making the list took me an entire evening. My head was hurting by the end of it! I also made a separate list of items that I would have to buy closer to the day of the meal. For example, I froze spinach for a few of the meals in the slowcooker, but frozen spinach would not be good for the Chicken Spinach Salad.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">With the grocery list prepared (and double and triple checked the next day!) I started to plan out how I would get these meals prepared and into the freezer.I went through each recipe and figured out what prep was involved. I got this idea from <a href="http://smithlive.blogspot.ca/2011/12/monthly-meal-planning.html" target="_blank">Callie @ Greater Things</a> and it was SOOOO helpful. I had three categories: PREP/NO COOK, PREP/COOK, DAY OF. I then divided my PREP/COOK recipe according to type of meat that i had to cook. I allowed myself 2 days to get everything prepped/cooked/frozen. The first day I did all of the meals that did not involve any cooking, just mix, put in labeled freezer bag and put into freezer. I also did any of the ones that involved only cooking/browning vegetables. Packaged them according to recipe and put them in to the freezer. The second day I did the rest, so that would be all the ones that involved cooking meat.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Next, I did my grocery shopping. I went to Costco and Superstore. Costco has some really decent prices on meat and some of the other items I needed in bulk, everything else was Superstore - simply because it was on the way home. It was an expensive day - like $400+ expensive. BUT I am not going to have to buy another large grocery order for almost 2 months and some of the things I bought will carry over to the next time. I SHOULD only have to go to the store for basics like eggs, milk, bread - but I know so far I have still been going to the store far more then I want (I just can't help myself!) </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">FINALLY, I got down to cooking. My first day of prepping was on the weekend and my hsband was home to help with the kids. The second day I took Lucy to the babysitter so that I could focus on the stove between Reece feedings and cuddles. Whew - it was a BUSY 2 days!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Now, I can sit back and not have to worry about what is for supper. I check the calendar the night before, take the meal out of the freezer and put it in the fridge overnight and cook/dump in the slowcooker in the morning. Easy-peasy!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">***When i filled out the calendar I allotted one meal per day. If there were leftovers they were usually lunch the next day. Sometimes though we would have the leftovers for supper the next day and bump that days meal. Meal bumping also happened when we went to my Mom's unexpectedly overnight. This is going to leave me with meas at the end of the month which I will carry over. I am very interested to see how much 'extra' I have and also how much $$ I spent all together. I will keep you posted once the food is gone!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">And now - the moment you have all been waiting for (dramatic pause...)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">THE MEALS!!!!!</span><br />

One more thing! I keep my monthly meals on my fridge so that I always know what is coming and what I need to pull out for the next day. It is easier to remember if it is always in front of you!<br />

Now she already had a Baby Stella doll, but I wanted to get her a dolly that looked more like a baby and less like a doll. I also wanted to get her some accessories to go with her new baby doll. We knew her baby brother would be making his arrival sometime around her birthday so we wanted her to have her own "baby things" so that she would be able to care for her baby along side Mommy.<br />
<br />
So I began my search. Do you know how hard it is to find a nice baby doll that does not cry, pee, laugh or some other annoying battery-operated baby simulation? And then you find one and it is going to cost you an arm and a leg. I did end up finding one, not exactly what I wanted, but I had to keep in mind that baby was going to be dragged and banged around by a two year old. And baby came with a little bassinet type bed, which meant one less thing Mommy was going to have to find and/or make! So that was the big thing off my list, now I still needed to find a few more accessories. Ideally I wanted a diaper bag and a stroller. The stroller was easy to find. The diaper bag - not so much. I really didn't want to just get a flimsy little bag with junk in it.<br />
<br />
After searching and searching (and refusing to pay $50 for a dolly diaper bag), I did what any other mother would do. I headed to pinterest (you knew that was coming didn't you??) I saw a cute little diaper bag on pinterest that was made out a scrapbooking caddy. But finding a suitable caddy, at a price I was willing to pay, with limited locations to shop was pretty much impossible. Then I had a brainwave - what about a travel toiletry bag? It would have various compartments and pockets and you can get them in all kinds of stylish designs. So I headed to Bentley to see what they had and sure enough I found a cute quilted toiletry bag that was just the right size to hold dolly diapers, a few bibs and a toy bottle.<br />
<br />
When I first hatched this idea in my mind I envisioned myself sewing bibs, cloth diapers, burp cloths and a change pad out of matching fabric. But as the time crunch hit - keep in mind I was 37ish weeks preggo - I knew the sewing list was going to have to be chopped drastically! So I decided to focus on the diapers. Of course I searched pinterest and found a few tutorials but I wasn't happy with the size or they looked too complicated, so I drew up my own template and set about making cloth diapers. Check out below for the tutorial!<br />
<br />
<b><u>Baby Doll Cloth Diapers</u></b><br />
<br />
For this project you will need paper pattern, 2 squares of coordinating fabric, velcro, and coordinating thread.<br />
<br />
First I made my pattern on paper. The diaper on the left is Baby Stella's and it is pretty flimsy so I decided to bulk it up a bit. Plus I wanted her to be able to use it for other dolls and stuffed animals too.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiG8EGRVoamcMDIMJmPqwJKdheg70wzB3_jyQ-1fFlGSh_PC20FHQizRBmFM82IxIaRfPdOBlmOhwnhnTv6WFyWCPtKDgUpSZt8Umxn6dBpehI07gzrK6nbMVbztOc3_cVsQvKfV2Dfu4D1/s1600/IMG_5485.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="425" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiG8EGRVoamcMDIMJmPqwJKdheg70wzB3_jyQ-1fFlGSh_PC20FHQizRBmFM82IxIaRfPdOBlmOhwnhnTv6WFyWCPtKDgUpSZt8Umxn6dBpehI07gzrK6nbMVbztOc3_cVsQvKfV2Dfu4D1/s640/IMG_5485.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Next I chose my fabric, one for the outer and one for the lining. I used a plain flannel for the lining which turned out to be a very good choice as it stays put on Stella and doesn't slide off. I placed my fabrics good sides together and pinned my pattern on. At this point you could cut out the diapers leaving a seam allowance but for simplicity sake I traced the pattern with marker (I would recommend a marker specifically made to wash out and not a permanent one like mine - but you live and learn right?) <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPj0ZiFvByhHl10Q0RU1Cf8RyeWwfu2RjQIluXfX72INZ_eWucNbOm-HxJ_Hy0U2L1t_n7K5zfFv4TTxpSY1QM55va1qGhPwsWGyNKURGPNBJ2KJn_gWhRDcQ_RWveOzWSVbMfdPLBQch6/s1600/IMG_5486.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPj0ZiFvByhHl10Q0RU1Cf8RyeWwfu2RjQIluXfX72INZ_eWucNbOm-HxJ_Hy0U2L1t_n7K5zfFv4TTxpSY1QM55va1qGhPwsWGyNKURGPNBJ2KJn_gWhRDcQ_RWveOzWSVbMfdPLBQch6/s640/IMG_5486.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
As you can see the fabrics are good sides together and pattern traced and ready to sew.<br />
<br />

<br />
Since baby dolls are so messy, I needed to make more than one diaper. I used two different cotton prints because we all like a little variety in our diaper stashes.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxFTJ50MlpDZ9jU2a9uFUy-pn7FztEOKnunJVtKDWFK1z0hQFMCxYW7lZaE8DCC2JwAKuSJBqWJIKCniw5wIrN03CQ4q5QZkDvb0dj5sFtfCKWbcdo0IoRFgVPHvslZT7Qw8DHypDDvRS6/s1600/IMG_5488.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxFTJ50MlpDZ9jU2a9uFUy-pn7FztEOKnunJVtKDWFK1z0hQFMCxYW7lZaE8DCC2JwAKuSJBqWJIKCniw5wIrN03CQ4q5QZkDvb0dj5sFtfCKWbcdo0IoRFgVPHvslZT7Qw8DHypDDvRS6/s640/IMG_5488.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Stitch along the marker line being sure to leave a gap in the top seam so that you can flip them right-side out. Then cut out the diapers leaving a small seam allowance. I also cut slits along the material in the curve and cut the corners for a better fit and form.<br />
<br />

Top stitch around the diapers. This allows you to stitch the hole closed at the top and it makes them look nicer (and I am sure that is the first thing Lucy noticed, right?)<br />

My house is not a perfect, spotless show home and I will never win an award for my tidiness! My house is a continuous ebb and flow of mostly tidy and somewhat messy. When I started planning my organization overhaul, I found I spent a lot of time cleaning the house. But it was not a lot of time everyday, it was a full day once every couple of weeks. And it was usually the day before we had company coming and I was time crunched as it was trying to pull everything else together. It was stressful, not to mention exhausting.<br />
<br />
So I went in search of a way to simply my cleaning, without sacrificing a clean house. I headed to <a href="http://pinterest.com/" target="_blank">pinterest</a> (I swear they should pay me for advertising!) and found quite a number of cleaning plans and schedules. There were even a few that claimed I could have a clean house in 15 minutes a day. Which I would love to believe but it takes me more than 15 minutes to vacuum my house, so I think they may have exaggerated just a wee bit. I ended up finding a link to a<a href="http://www.justmommies.com/articles/home-organization-plan.php" target="_blank"> Home Organization Plan</a> posted over at <a href="http://www.justmommies.com/" target="_blank">JustMommies</a>.<br />
The site sets out a weekly basic cleaning routine. For example Monday you do laundry, change bed linens and bath towels. It has different basic cleaning activities for each day of the week, and it repeats certain ones like laundry so that you are not doing 5 loads of laundry all in one day (like I usually do!).<br />
There is also a monthly calendar that gives you a different task each day. AND, this is my favorite part, there are periodic Catch-up days. So if life has handed you a plate of crazy one day, you can just do that days activity on your catch-up day. Whoever made this calendar obviously has kids! Also on the monthly calendar is a Declutter Challenge for each month. January's Declutter Challenge is the master bedroom. You have all month to tackle the checklist. Unfortunately for me, the lack of structure on the challenge leads to putting it off, but I am determined to finish the challenge before month's end!<br />
Another great thing that I love on this site is the Daily Habits list near the bottom of the page. She (I assume it is a she, because this Home Organization Plan is brilliant!) sets out some simple daily habits you should adopt and breaks down what your day should look like. For example, your morning tasks are to make your bed, wipe down the bathroom and set something out for dinner. Simple little things that will save you time in the long run and SIMPLIFY your life! Love it!<br />
<br />
So now that you know what I LOVE about the Home Organization Plan - take a look at what it looks like at my house!<br />

I keep my monthly cleaning calendar in a plastic sleeve. In behind January are the cleaning calendars for February and March so that I won't have an excuse to slack! I also changed a few of the tasks to better reflect my family/cleaning needs. I have done very well at keeping up to date on these tasks (except the 'clean out car' one - it has been WAY TOO COLD!)<br />
Also, you will notice I got my FREE calendar template at <a href="http://calendarlabs.com/">calendarlabs.com</a> . If I can keep my momentum going, I plan to reward myself with some cute, colorful printables.<br />

I changed this a bit too - it just makes more sense to vacuum and mop on the same day, right?<br />
<br />
I feel really good about this part of my organization overhaul. I feel like I have more time for my kids and husband (or maybe I just enjoy the time more because I am not looking at a messy house?) It also means that I can have impromptu playdates in the middle of the week and not run around like a mad woman before everyone arrives.<br />
<br />
Now for the hard part - sticking to it!<br />

This is not the first year I have had this resolution - but this is the first year that I have actually taken time to sit down and think about how I am going to be more organized. I mean, I would LOVE to have my crafting table/area more organized and have all of my closets and drawers neat and tidy with everything in its place. Realistically, however, I know that that would take me years and then the kids (and/or my husband) would just come behind me and undo all of my hard organizing work. Instead, I am simply hoping to get my day to day routine more organized and routine so that I can have more time with the kiddies, the hubby, and more time for ME (ie. crafting time!)<br />
So the first thing I did was try and figure out what I was spending the most time on so that I could try and simplify the process and hopefully save time! When looking at my day I found I spent a lot of time cooking and cleaning. Actually, I spent A LOT of time thinking about and dreading cooking and cleaning. I decided that these were the areas I was going to target.<br />
So, goal in mind, I headed to <a href="http://pinterest.com/" target="_blank">pinterest</a>! (It is a GREAT site! If you haven't been - you should go!) I did some searching around to see how other people are becoming more organized and better at time-management. I discovered that a lot of people had the same resolution as me, my pin feed was abuzz with organization ideas. So with some digging around, following links, and pouring over various blogs and sites, (hard work right? But someone's gotta do it!) I chose a few plans and began my journey to organization.<br />
<br />
Here are the links I used and a few other ones I liked (and may use later):<br />

<br />
2012 was... well 2012 was unlike any other year I have experienced in my life! I guess all I can do is hope that 2013 will have a little more of the good stuff, a little less of the bad stuff and a whole lot of love!<br />
<br />
**Now for the resolutions - so you can hold me accountable and say "See Amy - you SAID you were going to do it, so DO IT already!" Hmmm.....what were they again??? I wrote them down and stuck them away with the Christmas stuff and then promptly forgot what they were. So maybe now is a good time to come up with a few new ones and put them somewhere a bit more accessible for when I need reminding of what I should be doing!<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Do a blog entry at least once a week (good thing I already FAILED at this one, seeing as I already missed the first two weeks of the year so I will amend it with...) from this day forward!</li>
<li>Train to run 5K (I have done this before and had good intentions to run in an actual race - but then along came a pregnancy followed by a baby. Alas, running was not only impossible but also bumped down to the bottom of the priority list!)</li>
<li>Get organized - and stay organized for more than 3 weeks! (So far so good on this one - I will soon be posting about my meal planning adventures!)</li>
<li>I am sure there was also one about eating healthy or cutting back on junk food...blah, blah, blah. (Yeah, I am sure I will follow this one ALL year!)</li>
</ul>
<br />
Anyway - welcome to 2013! Hopefully THIS is the year of great things - I just have to work hard and stay on track!<br />

My sewing skills simply are not to the level where I should be instructing anyone on how to sew something. Instead I would call this a guide - or perhaps an idea, a jumping off point. This is something that I did that maybe you can try out on your own and improve upon (trust me there is tons of room for improvement!)</span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="background-color: #f3f3f3;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="background-color: #f3f3f3;"><span style="font-size: large;">Little Lucy is quickly growing up and while I would like to keep her in a crib forever - the reality is that Baby Boy is soon to arrive and the crib will need to be needed in the nursery. My friend up the road offered to give us a toddler bed (and a lot more - little man will be mostly outfitted by her son's hand-me-downs) and I set about to find just the right bedding. This proved to be a difficult task. I have come to find that there are not many bedding sets that I like. Most of them are pastel pink or purple, and usually feature Dora the Explorer or Disney Princesses. I also had the option of ordering online from the states - but all the sets that I really liked were going to cost me over hundred dollars plus shipping and duty on top. Don't get me wrong, I love my little girl, but she is only going to be in this bed for a year or two and her bedding should not cost more than my own! So having come to the conclusion that I wasn't going to be able to find the perfect bedding set, I decided to make it! Yep, 30+ weeks pregnant and caring for a toddler and I was going to make toddler bedding. Isn't it funny what nesting syndrome will do to your brain?!?</span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="background-color: #f3f3f3;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="background-color: #f3f3f3;"><span style="font-size: large;">So where do you start when you want to make your own bedding? Head to <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/" target="_blank">Pinterest</a> of course! On there I found a tutorial for for making a fitted crib sheet, and figured I could make a flat sheet no problem so I was all set. Then it hit me - why start from scratch when I can start with a pre-made sheet set. That way I would know that I was getting quality material for bedding so that it would stand up to washing wear.</span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="background-color: #f3f3f3;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></span></span>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="background-color: #f3f3f3;"><span style="font-size: large;">This is what I found at Walmart to start with. I love the fushia sheets and they work well with her room as it is already an accent color in the room. I decided to get a double set and that way I will have enough material to make two matching sets. I also got the double sized flowered blanket and will use it to make two thick blankets for the bed instead of a quilt or comforter. As soon as Lucy saw the blanket she wanted to hug and cuddle it so hopefully it will make it easier to lure her into bed at night?!?</span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="background-color: #f3f3f3;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="background-color: #f3f3f3;"><span style="font-size: large;">The next thing I had to do was set it in my sewing room for about a month. Sitting there tempting me and always at the back of my mind - it kept me motivated on my other tasks that had to be completed, but man what a tease!</span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="background-color: #f3f3f3;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="background-color: #f3f3f3;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="background-color: #f3f3f3;"><span style="font-size: large;">Finally the time came when I could get started. Below you will find the steps and pictures to show you how I tackled the fitted sheet. (If you are an avid sewer you may want to stop reading now as my method is far from conventional and/or correct.)</span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="background-color: #f3f3f3;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="background-color: #f3f3f3;"><span style="font-size: large;">Step 1: I cut the double fitted sheet in two. I was lucky that the elastic parts of the sheet were the whole width of the mattress and coincidentally the length of a crib mattress is almost exactly the same length. </span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="background-color: #f3f3f3;"><span style="font-size: small;">(This isn't a great picture but hopefully you can see that the bottom elastic is intact.)</span></span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="background-color: #f3f3f3;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="background-color: #f3f3f3;"><span style="font-size: large;">Step 2: From there I put the sheet onto the crib mattress inside out and pinned the two corners. This was to make the sheet fit right to the mattress - the same as when you buy them in the store. You have to do it inside out or you will end up with an exposed seam...like I almost did! </span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;">There are two main criteria that I look for when choosing a recipe. When I am looking for a recipe to make a meal the criteria are 1. is it easy and 2. can I name/am I familiar with all of the ingredients (and are all of the ingredients I need in the cupboard because it is 4:30...). When baking my first criteria is the same - what can I say? I don't do complicated - complicated usually makes a huge mess in my kitchen and ends up in the garbage. The second criteria when looking for a baking recipe is chocolate. If the recipe doesn't have chocolate, then really, what is the point? </span></span></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;">So today I am going to share with you two recipes. One is a tried-and-true recipe. The other was a first attempt but from the results I got, it is well on it's way to making it onto the tried-and true list.</span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;">Back in April I mentioned oh-so-briefly that hubby and I are expecting Baby #2. Now that we know a little bit more about our little bundle of joy, I feel that I should do a post dedicated to him.</span></span></span></span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;">This is the announcement that we sent to our close family to share our exciting news! The baby's due date was originally the day before Lucy's birthday (though not planned at all - and probably couldn't have gotten the dates closer if we tried!). We have since had an ultrasound and the due date is now September 28, 2012. </span></span></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;">Before we shared this announcement with our families, my step-father was the first person to get our happy news. It had been by his suggestion that we even started thinking about Baby #2. Just after Christmas he informed me that if we wanted to have another baby in time for my mom's 65th birthday in November, we better get busy (pun intended no doubt!). When we found out we were expecting and our expected due date we drafted a letter to him informing him that we had taken his advice but regretting to inform him that his calculations were off and the baby would be arriving in October, not November as he had figured out. I am so happy that I was able to share the special news with my step-father as he was very sick and passed away less than three weeks later. </span></span></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;">Now, on to less heart-wrenching baby details. On June 4 we went to 3D Miracles - 3D Ultrasound in Halifax to find out whether Baby #2 was a boy or a girl. We also went there when we were expecting Lucy and we loved that we could broadcast the ultrasound to our family and all find out together! It was very evident early on during the scan that Baby #2 is a BOY! Lucy came with us to the ultrasound and she was very interested in what the lady was doing to Mommy's belly (for a few minutes at least!). She got up on the stool by the bed and pointed at my belly and said baby. Then she lost interest and wanted to wash her hands in the sink! We are super-excited that we will have one of each - you know - to keep the numbers even!</span></span></span></span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;">Once we found out it was a boy the planning began! The first thing my husband did was go buy a coin to start Baby Boy's coin collection. The first thing I did was go to the Carter's store and buy an adorable little boy sleeper (and a Big Sister shirt for Lucy). On the long drive back home Jason and I talked about names, the nursery and how Lucy was going to react to her new baby brother. </span></span></span></span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;">My husband has really taken an interest in planning the nursery and you better believe we both have boards on <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/" target="_blank">pinterest</a> dedicated to it! My husband has a love of muscle cars (and would love to own one himself someday...) so we are doing Baby Boy's room in a car theme. Below are a few of the DIY projects we have found for the room on <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/" target="_blank">pinterest</a>.

<span style="font-size: large;">Mother's Day is fast approaching so I had to get my act together and get some cards made to send to the grandmothers. Jason's mother had requested some art with Lucy's footprints a while back after seeing a footprint butterfly on <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/" target="_blank">pinterest</a>. So I figured now would be a good time to try it out. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: black; color: #8e7cc3; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I would have liked to get some pictures of us actually making the prints with Lucy but with paint and feet involved I thought it best to just get it done. I had Jason help me with the project and we made sure it coincided with bath night (it also coincided with pizza night too because it generally requires a scrub down too!) I set out my supplies: washable paint (I use Crayola because I LOVE everything Crayola), white paper, paper towel (have a few already damp for quick clean-up). I had Jason hold Lucy on his lap and we tackled one foot at a time. I applied the paint with my finger, doing part of her foot purple and the other part pink. Then rather than have her step on the paper I set the paper on a book and pressed it against her foot as Jason held it out. I made four prints, so I reapplied paint after the second stamping. I cleaned her foot and did the same for the other foot. To make the feet look more like the wings of a butterfly I reversed them, so right foot on left side of paper and vice versa. Using a permanent marker I drew in the body and face - I love how they turned out!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Growing up we had a growth chart on the wall in our kitchen. It was always fun to look at the different heights and to get measured. Unfortunately, when we did renovations, the growth chart did not survive my parents' attempts to salvage it. I also had a friend who kept track of her family's heights on the door frame - which was all well and fine, until she moved. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: black; color: #8e7cc3; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: black; color: #8e7cc3; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">For a bit now I have been looking for an idea for a growth chart. Thanks to perusing many craft blogs and pinterest, I found it! <a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/64387469642808717/" target="_blank">Here</a> is a link to a similar growth chart I found on pinterest! So this weekend I decided to make my own. Learn how to make your own below :)</span></div>
<div style="background-color: black; color: #8e7cc3; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: black; color: #8e7cc3; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Step One: Research craft blogs and pinterest for many hours (and know that it is okay if you get sidetracked and find tons of other great DIY projects to tackle at a later date!)</span></div>
<div style="background-color: black; color: #8e7cc3; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: black; color: #8e7cc3; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Step Two: Go to the local hardware store and purchase supplies: a piece of pine 6"x8"x1", wood stain and staining supplies, spray clear coat. You also need a permanent marker and tape measure.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: black; color: #8e7cc3; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: black; color: #8e7cc3; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Step Three: In a well ventilated area, </span></div>
<div style="background-color: black; color: #8e7cc3; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhY0HkjZO3_lRh2RIHmUwdasvR9B2KrxvkjAJc4DJxoacTYFqf4zxHi-cCAQSunWr27uHoWgW5ZbIm4LheprsNq-tqpShFj0XR3FwQSJE1hiLwL8rVKQkPrWLFMqa0lxqpQzyq2IK9PnrQA/s1600/IMG_3046.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhY0HkjZO3_lRh2RIHmUwdasvR9B2KrxvkjAJc4DJxoacTYFqf4zxHi-cCAQSunWr27uHoWgW5ZbIm4LheprsNq-tqpShFj0XR3FwQSJE1hiLwL8rVKQkPrWLFMqa0lxqpQzyq2IK9PnrQA/s200/IMG_3046.JPG" width="133" /></a><span style="font-size: large;">lightly sand your piece of wood and apply wood stain as per instructions. I used Fruitwood colored stain because I didn't want anything too dark. Also, I had never worked with stain before and didn't know how it would turn out so lighter seemed safer. I only did one coat and wiped it off after about 5 minutes and was happy with how it turned out - just do what works for you!</span></div>
<div style="background-color: black; color: #8e7cc3; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: black; clear: both; color: #8e7cc3; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: black; color: #8e7cc3; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Step Four: After it dried, I used the tape measure to mark off every inch. I started my 'ruler' from 6 inches so that I could hang it on the wall above the trim. With a permanent marker I marked my lines. You can use black paint and a thin brush if you would like, but the permanent marker was a much easier! I did my foot marks 2 inches long and every quarter foot 2 inches as well. The other marks I did 1 inch long.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: black; color: #8e7cc3; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Step Five: Mark your numbers at the appropriate places on the ruler. For my numbers I printed them off the computer and then traced them with a pencil where I wanted them. Once I moved the paper I could see the indent of the number and traced and colored it in.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Step Seven: (I have yet to get this far...) Attach hanging hardware on the back. Hang your ruler on the wall six inches above the floor. If you plan to place it in a high traffic area I would recommend maybe screwing it right onto the wall so it is more secure.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">For a number of years now I have been using an online picture editor to 'enhance' my pictures. I chuckle as I type the word enhance because for the longest time all I did was crop, add borders and add words to Lucy's weekly pictures. The program is called Picnik. Shortly before Christmas this year I decided that I would upgrade my free subscription to the paid Premium subscription. It was something I had wanted to do for a while and just couldn't justify paying the fee (all $30 a year...lol). Anyway, I upgraded and started playing around with some of my shots and proceeded to kick myself for not doing it sooner. Not long after the upgrade I received an email from Picnik informing me that the website would be shutting down and until it closed, all Premium features would be free! Yay for free upgrade!! (they refunded me my money for my subscription) Booo for closing Picnik!! Well, yesterday was the day for the end of my beloved Picnik - and now it is gone for good :( </span></div>
<div style="background-color: black; color: #8e7cc3;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Thankfully the folks at Picnik were kind enough to suggest a few alternate photo editing sites. One site was <a href="http://aviary.com/">Aviary.com</a>. I didn't really check this one out much but do intend to try it out soon. I did check out the other alternate site that was suggested - <a href="http://picmonkey.com/">Picmonkey.com</a>. It was nice that there was no sign up to try out the site, though once I got using some of the features it became clear that they intend to run their site similar to how Picnik ran, they are simply offering everything free right now to get you hooked. Works for me! </span></div>
<div style="background-color: black; color: #8e7cc3;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So if you are looking for a fun way to 'enhance' and play with your pictures - check out these sites! And let me know which you prefer (or maybe you have another option!).</span></div>

Well not really GONE...more like, preoccupied! I worked full time for the month of February and most of March too which made family time hard to come by and creative time basically non-existent (so what would I even blog about right?) In the midst of working five days a week I got a bad sinus infection and Lucy had a bad cold/flu and croup. As we are finally on the mend and getting our feet back under us, my step-father passed away quite suddenly and we were knocked back down to our knees. Need less to say, the last few months have been busy, long and hard. And on top of everything Jason and I found out we are expecting baby number 2 in the fall so nausea and first trimester exhaustion have been my loyal companions! I am out of the first trimester now however and feeling great - almost like my normal self...only bigger :) So that has been my life the last few months and with spring here, the weather warming up and a little one on the way, I am super-excited to get back at my crafting and creating! Thanks for dropping by!</span></div><br />

I love to take pictures, and I love to share them. I remember the first camera - a Christmas gift, I was in junior high, it was a Fuji Panoramic camera. It took special (ie. EXPENSIVE) film, but I loved it anyway. It took really wide angle shots, though in junior high I didn't appreciate this feature. I had this camera for probably close to ten years. I lost it (or rather I blame my then boyfriend/now husband, Jason, for losing it) on a camping trip. It was probably a year or two before I replaced this camera, and by that time digital was all the rage and coming down in price. I remember Jason balking at the price I paid for my Canon Powershot A520. It was over $500 with the memory card and accessories. You can buy it used on Ebay for 20 bucks today. It wasn't until a few years later that Jason finally admitted that it was a good investment. I still have this camera and use it for its video function once in a while. The camera I use most of the time now I received as a Christmas gift in 2009. It is a Canon Rebel XS. It is an entry level DSLR and I love it! Would I like to upgrade? Heck yes! But it's just not practical at the moment - someday though...someday! For Christmas this year I got 2 new lenses for my camera and I am having so much fun with them. One is a portrait lens (</span><span style="font-size: large;"><span id="btAsinTitle">Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II)</span> and the other is a zoom lens (</span><span style="font-size: large;">EF 75-300mm f/4.0-5.6 III). </span></div><div style="background-color: black; color: #8e7cc3; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="background-color: black; color: #8e7cc3; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Sooooo, as I was saying in my title, I am a photographer. Don't get me wrong, I am not a professional photographer, nor a trained photographer. I am instead a creative, fun, play with shots, make you smile kind of photographer. I love to take pictures of all kinds of different things, but mostly these days I can be found shoving my camera lens in my little girl's face. As an infant she likely didn't recognize my face without my extra shiny black flashing 'eye.' I have also started playing around with some photo editing and am having lots of fun learning how I can enhance my shots :) Take a minute to check out some of my 'work' (sounds professional eh?), and let me know what you think! And after you have - pick up your camera (or cellphone) and <span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>go be a PHOTOGRAPHER too!</b></span></span></div><div style="background-color: black; color: #8e7cc3; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />

My journey into crochet was so that I could replicate a hat, that I had seen at a craft fair, for my daughter. I came home eager and excited for this new hobby that I will pursue and my husband says to me, "You know, it would probably be cheaper in the long run if you had just paid the $30+ for the hat." Well take note dear hubby cause I don't say this often, but you were right! 3 crochet hooks (all different sizes of course!), 7 balls of yarn, and numerous hours later, I still do not have the hat made that I originally NEEDED so badly, nor do I have the supplies on hand to actually make it. I do however have a few other adorable hats finished and wanted to share them with you!</span></span></div><div style="background-color: black; color: #8e7cc3; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />

Seriously, if you have not heard of this site click the link and check it out. Pinterest is a site for crafters, DIYers, foodies, decorators, organizers...EVERYONE! The best way I can think to explain the site is as visual bookmarks. I have spent many hours on this site exploring, planning, daydreaming, drooling, and wistfully wishing! As a teacher, a crafter, and a mom this site speaks to me on so many different levels. So once again I encourage you - if you have not checked this site out, DO IT NOW!</span></div><div style="background-color: black; color: #8e7cc3; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: black; font-size: large;"><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;">My obsession with crochet hats began when my daughter Lucy was born. Every newborn baby is given a teeny tiny little hat shortly after their entry into the world. Lucy's hat was white and so soft (though I believe it was knitted as opposed to crocheted...) She quickly outgrew her little hat and I wanted to replace it with one that was warm, soft and adorably cute. Without the skills to knit or crochet I adorned Lucy with store bought hats until we received a strawberry hat as a gift from a friend. She wore the strawberry hat on every outing last winter, even though it didn't match a thing she wore.</span></span></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></span></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;">As winter approached this year I set out to find a cute, unique, handmade hat for Lucy to wear. I searched on Etsy, on many Facebook Fanpages, and at numerous Craft Fairs - and came out empty-handed. Don't get me wrong, I found tons of lovely pieces that I would LOVE to put on my little girls head - but then I would see the prices. YIKES! I found myself saying "I could totally do that." And so I did!</span></span></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></span></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;">So with a little bit of research and a trip to Michaels to get supplies - I was off on operation 'Learn to Crochet.' After a few frustrating evenings of watching Youtube videos and checking out crochet tutorials I got the hang of it and my first hat took shape. I finished the hat in just a few days and I was quite proud of myself - though the hat was too small for little Lucy's head (guess they have patterns and sizing for a reason...).</span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;">The picture isn't great but you get the idea - I even added a pretty little flower.</span></span></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;"> I just finished making my fourth hat and wanted to share it. It is a hat for my sister. She was home for Christmas and picked out the yarn for her hat. I think it turned out pretty good. As I was nearing the end of the hat my yarn was running low (not a good thing when you live an hour and a half from Michaels).</span></span></span></span></div>

I would also love to hear where your inspiration comes from!</span></span></span></span></div>
