January

I thought for sure that after the holidays I would be a much better blogger. I guess it is just one of those things that you get out of the habit of and then it is hard to get back to.

Here's a little look at what is keeping us busy.

Last Friday was a beautiful day and Mary was here, so we took Holden and Charlotte out to play.

We tried out the Barbie Jeep (minus the Barbie logos- thank you Magic Eraser) and it went fairly well. It is not really designed for offroading. She greatly enjoyed it though.

Well, not as much as she enjoyed THIS. Holden was so confused.

Total change of subject here- I have been making decorations for a baby shower! It has occupied a lot of my time so I thought I would share some pictures from the shower. I also made the cutest hooded blanket but totally forgot to take a picture of it. It was from the Amy Butler Little Stitches book I got for Christmas.

The shower was a shabby chic type thing, and no, this is not my house.

Food Table:

I made this little flower-y letter "C" out of styrofoam and fake flowers.
The little glass candle holder was only like .57 cents and I filled it with moss and stuck those letter things in it. I saw some cupcake toppers on Etsy that gave me the idea.

The color is a little off on this one, but I had to adjust it to make the letters show up better.
I used floral wire and shaped the letters- then wrapped them in grapevine and tied the whole thing together with invisible cord stuff. Stuck in a few flowers and hung them- super cute!
They were not hard at all, just time consuming and messy.

Becca's cake. It was so cute- the colors came out so weird on this one so you can go to Becca's cake making blog for a much more accurate picture.

Anyway, I am really going to start trying to post more! I have another baby shower to host/organize on Sunday and a few other things coming up as well. I have a bunch of stuff around the house that I have never blogged about. Not to mention that I have still never blogged about Charlotte's big girl bed and special pjs.
