Another One


I'm sorry. Are you sick of these yet? Apparently, I'm not, so bear with me.

Sawyer needs spring/summer clothes. He is growing so quickly that he's running out of clothes for the proper season. (I think he weighed 18 pounds at his 6-month checkup two weeks ago. He's a big, breastfed boy.) I've been thinking that the pants can always be cut into shorts later for summer, if needed. I used that wonderful Michael Miller Dotty Dot from Karyn. See? Now I'm not afraid to cut it.

Some time this week, I'm going to generically applique one onesie to match a variety of his outfits to keep in his diaper bag. On Sunday we were only at church for 1/2 hour when he had a diaper explosion and I had no other clothes for him. (Sadly I sound like an inexperienced mother, don't I?)

Cute stuff! Don't stop. You're inspiring me to do the same for my own wee one.

Oh, hey - that makes me feel better! My son had never needed a full change of clothes in the nursery...until he did. I was so embarrassed to carry him out in just a diaper and undershirt; learned my lesson, though!

Reusable Swiffer WetJet Cloths

Image
I promised myself that, when I bought a box of Swiffer WetJet refills at the wholesale club, it would be the last box I bought. Something had to be done. Now, to be honest, part of the reason was to help the environment, but the other part was because I was tired of running out of those darn things. I took some towels, folded them in half cut them into 5" widths. (The towel was just about 25" or so from side to side when flat.) Then I cut two 5" pieces of elastic and serged it all together. Two layers of toweling and two elastic strips. That's it. (The finished piece was approximately 4.75" x 12.") Within minutes I had a stack of eight. Slide them on and mop away. You will have a clean floor and have saved one more thing from ending up in the landfill. Now, if I can just do something about the cleaning liquid ... Something environmentally-friendly, economical, and won't cause further pain to my arthritic back.

39

It's that time of year again. The one that seems to come faster and closer every year. Yes, today I am 39. (That means I'm almost 40! Aaaahh!) To keep in tradition with years' past , I decided to do a list of things you might not know about me . (My best friend loves these posts, so this is in honor of her. You know who you are.) I ran 1 3/4 miles this morning. I gained 3-4 pounds after Sawyer weaned himself this year. Since starting to run, Joe has said that my thighs are "as tight as when we were first married." I didn't realize my thighs weren't tight. Hmmm. I guess six kids can do that to you. I need a new mattress. We bought our last mattress when I was in labor with Carter . That was ten years ago. We also bought a set of bunk beds that day. I want a new sofa. Actually two new sofas. I'm waiting until Sawyer is potty-trained. I'm planning on training him as soon as school lets out in June. Sometimes I plan ahead. Sometimes I procrasti
