A first birthday is coming!!

Holy crap, it's been almost a year since I pushed my little booger butt into the world! A year full of eating bugs, sucking your own spit up off the kitchen floor (don't ask... I threw up a little in my mouth just thinking about it...), and playing in the toilet. Yes, my child is disgusting. And perfect. Oh so perfect. So in honor of our Halloween Baby we are doing a Halloween party for the Zoster's first birthday.

I am so excited to show you the cake I made today!

It is my first attempt at cake decorating, but I think it turned out pretty awesome! 

I can't wait to show you more tomorrow!

Three Little Pigs Halloween Costume

I have a best friend. She came and visited this week with her super cute family. As a direct result, I have wet my pants no less than 3 times. 

She wanted her family to be the 3 little pigs for Halloween this year. We worked together and whipped these little beauties out!

They'll wear them with some pink/brown.

Pretty easy weekend project - for a grand total of 5 bucks!! 

Flowers: Pinned it and did it

Saw this sweet little flower on Pinterest the other day

It looked just girly enough to make my husband cringe - which means, I HAD to do it.

Here is my go at it -

They were super easy to make, and they turned out beautiful. 

The only thing I did different is I cut the 3-D part and flipped it around (so you'd see the colorful side rather than the white side. How did I secure it, you ask? Tape. Lots and lots of tape. 

Also I added a little swirl in the middle to give it a center. Because I'm an over-achiever like that. 

Anyone else give the flowers a go?

Dresser Redos

I am SO close to being done with our house redo!! 14 gallons of paint and 10,000 brain cells later, we are so happy with the results! 

My favorite redo was the dressers my mom brought from Michigan for our nursery. I searched and searched and searched for a before photo - but apparently, I didn't take a single one. You'll just have to imagine dirty white dressers with royal blue drawers and random stains and paint drips all over. 

Total cost of redo? $30 bucks

Here are the afters -

I love them I love them I love them!!

How to EASILY Cut a Banana for a Toddler

My mom came into town a few weeks back and showed me this handy little trick. Moms are so smart. It makes the banana the PERFECT size for little toddler hands. I haven't done it any other way since.

Now all you have to do is give them to your naked baby to turn into body paint. Huzzah to cleaning banana out of armpits!

Coming out of the closet

Baby, I am coming out of the closet. Wait...no. I'm going INTO the closet. Because mama gots a new craft closet!

After:

How could you not love that little girl!? She is so sweet and silly! 

HOLY CRAP 6 MONTHS?!?!

It's been six months I posted?! Crap. I gotta get back on this horse.

Alright, here's the deal. I stopped posting because I ran out of crap to post. Seriously. 
I almost made a baby butt picture post, but I refrained. 
What's that you say? You want to see it anyway? Well, if you insist. 

This little girl is NO stranger to food. She'll whine for it all day long

Okay, what was I saying? Oh yeah, I ran out of crap to post. And frankly, despite my best efforts to prank you, I am not the craftiest crayon in the box.
I'm more like the moss colored crayon that gets stuck in the heating vent and chewed on by the dog (take that 10th grade Creative Writing teacher!)

So this blog will be a-changing a bit. I'm just gonna post what I want. Sometimes crafty, sometimes personal, sometimes just random. What's that you say? ANOTHER butt picture? Uhhh YEAH!

Because that's how we roll on this blog. Free butt pics for EVERYONE!
