STOP IT Printable

I think my favorite talk from General Conference a couple weeks ago was President Uchdorf's talk.  I loved how simple it was.  Just "Stop it"

Then I found this awesome printable and had to share it with you all.  Thanks to This is Nick for making it and sharing it with the rest of us!

 

Sweet Tooth Recipes

I swear we have no good treats in our house right now. Of course I would love to have a few fun size snickers, stale peeps, or almost anything else even!  But sadly none of those are available (unless I raid the Easter Bunny's stash but that would just create more work :(

So Pinterest here I come....Of course I have a cake and cookie board and a sweet tooth board.  So these are the recipes I narrowed it down to (click on the pictures to take you to the blog posts with the recipes):

Chewy Granola Bars from New Nestalgia

I couldn't make these because I don't have any coconut oil (I don't even know where to get coconut oil :(

Homemade Snickers Bars from HowSweetEats.com

These look  SUPER AMAZING but a little intense and I just don't have the energy for intense these days...Maybe in a couple weeks!

Holy Crap These Are Amazing Cookies from Sticky Gewy Creamy Chewy

If only I had some corn flakes in the house

And the Reese's Peanut Butter Bars from BakerLady

But the winner for today was (drum roll Please!)

Are some cake batter pudding cookies from Chef in Training

Now the only reason these suckers won over the peanut butter bars (not only because they look great) is my hubby would be very happy with me.  He LOVES cake batter flavor.  So to keep him happy and to satisfy my sweet tooth we now are enjoying some lovely cake batter cookies!

So what are your favorite sweet tooth recipes?  I am always looking for some!

My Sorry Attempt at Gender Neutral

Let me start by saying that I don't think anything can be completely gender neutral.  But you can get pretty darn close.  So on Sunday while I was watching/listening to General Conference  I attempted to make a car seat tent that is gender neutral.  I FAILED MISERABLY!

 It is so stinking cute and girly and fun that it just can't be for a boy.  Of course it isn't finished yet, and hopefully it will be before this little one (whatever it may be) joins our family.

I guess my saving grace will be when I add this minky fabric to the back of it (it is from Shannon Fabrics and will be available in my Etsy shop as soon as I find the time to add it there :)  Isn't that fabric totally boy color?!?  I swear it is not girly at all! Right?

 Poor thing if it is a boy.  It is going to be surrounded by all things GIRL. 
 

Whats in a Name?

With this baby's birth fast approaching...I am a bit worried.  We haven't picked out a girl name yet.  We have a boy one, but no girl name.

I told my hubby, for my sanity, we needed at least a couple names picked out before we head to the hospital.  He thinks I am crazy of course.  But that OCD side of me just won't give.

A name is an important thing...I don't want my kid to hate their name....

I definitely want my baby to love its name

So whats in a name and do you have any great A name ideas for a girl?  Our other 2 girl's names start with A's and we would like to stick with it if we can come up with one we both like :) 

 

Displaying Children's Art

My awesome sister in law gave my daughters those fun little clip boards for their birthdays last years.  They have been so excited to use them...I just needed to figure out where I was going to hang them up at at.  My oldest loves to draw and I found these cute drawings that she had done.  So I saved them for when I would have the energy to make a wall of art. 

The little turquoise painted frame my daughter made with my dad a year or so ago.  Then my mom let her pick whatever colors of paint she wanted to paint the frame (I think my mom might have over 100 different little bottles of acrylic paint so I am sure it was a really hard decision for her)

I love the way it turned out, but more importantly both the girls always ask me if they can put their art work up. 

PS...I didn't hang the doll.  Promise

Glidder Rocker Update

My mom was here for the weekend, so of course I had to show her the ugly chair my husband got me.  Then one thing led to another and she ended up taking the cushions with her.  Then we spent the Sunday evening with my parents for my dad's birthday and by the next morning my mom had whipped out the cushions.  She really is amazing don't you think!   Now I just need a warm weekend to paint the chair and it will be all ready for when this baby decides to show up!

Lots of Zebras at My House

 Twin Size Zebras

 Even Purple Zebras

 Baby Zebras

Product Review: Nitrile Glove

A few weeks ago I was contacted by a company to review their disposable gloves.  Now I don't know about you but I ALWAYS have some gloves handy.  I use them when I am cutting onions, garlic, or spicy peppers.  I use them when I have to clean up an icky mess (as moms this is almost a daily occurrence :)  So I was REALLY excited when they sent me an ENTIRE box to review.  Not just one set of gloves or even 10 but an entire box.

My take on the gloves:  These gloves are really thick.  My long pregnant nails didn't even bust through the (unlike most gloves that I have bought)  They don't have that smell that disposable gloves have either.    I didn't have one negative thing to say about them.
