In other exciting news, I got Jaci's Travel System!! It's Pink/Black Eiffel Tower. I bought it at this overstock store we have here. She buys everything overstock and sells it at a GREAT price!! This stroller was regular $209 and I got it for $114! Yay for deals! 


Notice the bag? I bought it at JCPenny for only $21.99, on sale. Her bags are packed and ready to go!! yay! I know it's early, but like I said I want things DONE! 


Cute lil Owl.
I love it!!


Close up of the bag. I can't believe how great of a price it was.. that's cheap for a Diaper Bag!


I also finished JCLAIRE's wall letters and hung them.


They look a bit small in this picture, but I really love how they turned out! The shadow boxes are super neat!


And here is her closet.
Oh, I made that Hair Bow Holder too. She HAD to have one, you know..

Crafty Business - More Onesies and BOWS!!


I've had so much creating stuff for the girls! I don't know if all of this qualifies me as "nesting", but i'm definitely loving getting things accomplished. I can't wait to see baby girl decked out in all of her cute things!

My FAV Custom Onesie and matching Bow for JClaire!!

Custom Onesie for JClaire w/ matching Bow. This one is really hard to get a good picture of. It looks much better in person.
{Newborn, but runs big bc I got it at Hobby Lobby}

Another Custom onesie for Miss JClaire. The Bow is on an alligator clip and removable so she can still wear it when she outgrows the onesie! :)

Parent Teacher Conference

CDC's PT Conference for PreK was last weekend. I asked Chris to go because I didn't feel well. I knew he'd ask the questions I wanted to know..

She has been acting out and getting quite a few bad notes, so we wanted to ask about that. She also has a very low attention span. She can't focus or concentrate on any one thing for more than a few seconds. It really worries me, but some of my family tends to think I over react.

The teacher told him that she is a very sweet girl and one of the best students..most of the time. She said they all get bad notes from time to time. But that still isn't "OK" with me. I want good notes all the time. I never had bad notes sent home as a child and I don't think it's very good parenting to just accept bad notes from time to time. Just my opinion..

She did say that CDC is very much below grade level at this point. {sad face} Boo! She can only recognize 15 letters out of 54. That's upper and lower case, obviously.. I'm so bummed about this. We work on it consistently, but she just cannot seem to grasp it. She literally doesn't know them.. Then she gets so aggrivated and starts acting out, crying, fidgeting and just gives up. I don't know what I can do..

Just a vent, I guess..

Crafty Business - Onesie for JClaire



The crafty bug has bitten me again. I've been working on some stuff for Miss JClaire

This onesie is my latest finished product. I didn't quite get the ribbon long enough to stretch all the way across after sewing it. But it's still cute! It's a newborn size. I almost want to get her name embroidered and have her wear it home from the hospital with a matching hat and Bow of course! ;)


My mom is coming over today to help me with J.Claire's name letters for her wall. I'm so excited!! I'm also going to make about 5-6 Bows to match some of my favorite outfits of hers. Yay!
