Diy Photo Booth

Here is a quick trick for a photo booth/light box. I took a piece of printer paper, bent it in half and taped it in a sunny window. 

Ignore the kitty nose prints. And below is a shot. 

What do you use? 

Welcome Home Tory & Nursing Top

We brought our little girl home last week! Victoria Sylvia was born 2/24 <3

As a breastfeeding mommy I'm always looking for comfy clothes to nurse in that don't feel frumpy. Nursing tanks are great but pricey! I found this on Pinterest and had to try it!! Essentially clip the strap and tack down with a couple stitches. The loops slide on your nursing bra and you are off and running! Easy peasey with a $5 tank and a whip stitch.

Christmas Fast Approaches!

How does Christmas sneak up on me every year! Still so many fun things to get to! Jackson has been coloring ornaments for present toppers- my helper! But I was hoping to get his lil mitts into some salt dough too. Not to mention cooking, baking, and wrapping! This Saturday is my last show- 9-2 at the Frear Building in Troy (attahced to the Uncle Sam Atrium). And with Victoria (Kurtz Baby #2) coming in February I'm not sure when my next show will be. What last minute preperations are you making??

Easy DIY Oatmeal Bath

Who knew making homemade oatmeal bath is this simple?!
Using rolled oats (old fashion) & working in small batches, grind. I used the milling blade on my baby food processor. Oatmeal bath for less than pennies! I make a big batch for my son's baths and store in an airtight container. Works great for eczema, diaper rashes and itchy skin.

Happy October!

I admit, I'm obsessed with my son's feet- little wonder footprint art appeals to me.
What you need:
Non toxic white and black paint
Paint brush ( I used a sponge one to paint his feet and a regular but you can just use a regular one )
Metal bucket
Extra person to help wrangle :)

One person holds your little muse the other Paints the bottom of their feet white.
Press the foot against the bucket ( heel at the top toes pointing down ).
Clean off those toes.
Paint Boo!! Next to the imprint.
Let it dry.
Paint eyes and a mouth on the imprint in black.
Let it dry.
Done!

Optional- tie a ribbon on the handle or fill with candy.

DIY Baby Food

I can't believe how easy it is to make baby food! Jackson's first meal was this week- on the menu, sweet potatoes. Steam them (10 min in the Baby Bullet steamer), pop them in my chopper (I have the Baby Bullet chopper too) with 1 cup of water. Done. 5lb bag sweet potatoes $3, 1 small potato made 4 containers of food! 15 minutes tops. Up next Apples!
