Small but fun project

This was not a huge project but I had fun doing it. Every time I went to savannah or a historic sight. I found myself always
looking at the plaques beside the door. I don't have a historic house but I sure do want a historic wood plaque.
I bought this wood plaque at Michaels for about $1.50. I already had some black all purpose acrylic paint.

I figured I would just paint it black and kind of give it a vintage look after.
The stencil I used i've had for years. I couldn't tell you where I got it if I tried. It was exactly what I wanted.






I still need to maybe grab some sand paper to make it look more vintage. It was fun!

Dr Seuss Thing 1,2,3 and LASTLY 4

Wow I've been gone a while. I was just reading my last post and it made absolutely no sense!!!

What I'm about to write probably won't make any sense either. It's been 9months and I'm 3 days

away from my due date. I thought I would go a lil earlier being that my son came 3wks early.

GUESS NOT!!

Well, I was trying to think of something cool to do for the kids. I thought of Thing 1,2,3,,4.


First always get support from the hubby. Even though they're playing video games on the phone.

At least they are there.xoxox


I got the Images online. Printed them on regular paper first to make sure I had the size correct.


I went to Michaels and bought red T-Shirts that were on sale and used a 20% off coupon on your total purchase.The onsie I

purchased at Wal-Mart for $3. It had a Fourth of July image on it. Thing 4 Image covered it nicely.

I also bought DARK TRANSFER PAPER!!!! I made a huge mistake of using light transfer paper( Which is meant for light colored

t-shirts) . When I transfered the image onto the red shirt, the white part didn't come out. Unfortunately, Dark transfer paper is

really expensive. I also used a 50% off coupon at Michaels for the purchase. So , DON"T FORGET TO USE YOUR COUPONS!!!

The Dark transfer paper also gave me some trouble. You have to peel it and set it right side up on the fabric as a pose to

mirroring the Image like the light transfer paper. So when I was printing the Image the DTP would start peeling inside the

printer and mess up the image. So make sure you flatten out the DTP between a heavy book etc.



You need to use a hard surface. I used my wooden cutting board and covered it with a cotton pillow case.

I cut out the image ,Peeled it, set it on the T-shirt, covered it with another pillow case and ironed away for about 30 seconds.
On the directions it tells you to iron for 10 sec. I didn't think that would be enough. To each his own I guess.


So this is the end result. Not too bad.Now my kids have new names. Which is good being that I'm always calling one by the

others name.

Preggo's for the last time

So, not so suprisingly i found that I am prego once again. I always wanted 4 kids ,but what am i thinking. Anyhoo, I haven't been

great and with 3 toddlers and make me feel even worse. I plan to hopefully give birth at a birth center in Brooklyn, New York.

Not many people know. It took me a couple of weeks to tell my own mom. I just feel sick all the time , so i guess I'm not as eager... just yet

end of summer days

Breastfeeding

I absolutely love this cartoon. People have nerve to be disgusted by something so pure and natural

why breastfeed?
There are many benefits for both mother and child when a woman chooses to breastfeed. Human milk is custom-made for babies, with all the right nutrients and in the right amounts. There is no guesswork involved.

benefits for baby
Here are just a few of the benefits babies stand to gain from the breastfeeding relationship:

less gas, diarrhea, and constipation
stronger immune systems
higher IQ
fewer allergies and less risk of asthma
fewer incidences of diabetes and cancer
less risk of childhood obesity
less risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS)
better dental and facial development, and decreased likelihood of dental caries
benefits for mom
The rewards of breastfeeding are often overlooked when it comes to mom:

promotes bonding
promotes uterine contractions after childbirth and reduces bleeding
promotes weight loss
less risk of ovarian and breast cancers
economical—breastfeeders save over $1000 USD in the first year
convenient—always available, and always the right temperature
saves time—no formula to prepare, and no bottles to wash
clean and safe—and available when normal supplies of food and water are interrupted
benefits for employers
Employers are increasingly supporting breastfeeding, for good reason—breastfed babies are healthier, and their parents miss fewer days of work.

benefits for the planet
In this era of increased awareness about our impact on the planet, breastfeeding is a good green solution—there is no excess packaging, no factory processing, and no transportation necessary.

Kind of a garden

Ok , so i had absolutely nothing to do with this. I wish i could take the credit, but these delicious wild berries grow and grow
without any of my help!

They can grow as much as they want, but they won't last long. They go great
with oatmeal. YUM ! YUM!



This was the day i got my tomato plant from the farmers market.
I really thought one needed a green thumb for this stuff. All you really need is a lot of water and manure . haha!



This is the girls watering and give it some plant food. They love this stuff.
I have to put some pics up of our compost.




I see it , i see it!
omg! i can't believe it's growing.
Well,it's been giving me delicious tomatoes since May.
