Looking Forward...

We move in six months. I would like my New York friends to start thinking about coming to visit me in California. I'll give you one good reason and it's the only reason you need...Taco Temple. Go ahead, Google it.

More Craftiness

I'm on a craft kick. I was looking for a Family Home Evening board to buy and couldn't find one that I liked or that suited my plans. So I made my own.

The board part was a pain in the neck, but I loved the glass bubble magnets. Those weren't so difficult.

And since I had so many left over when I was finished with the board, I made more for the fridge.

Bows

The Girl has a lot of bows - especially after Christmas. Here is how I used to store them.

The basket wasn't working out for me. It was ugly. It was inconvenient. I needed a bow holder. I needed a custom one that could hold big bows and some very tiny little clips.

I hadn't seen one that could do both, so I decided to make my own. I found an idea I liked here, went shopping, and got busy with a staple gun.

I used wider ribbon for the bigger bows and the narrow ribbon for the clips.

I think it turned out really cute.

Ahhhh....organization.

It's a Girl Thing

The Girl has enjoyed her spoils of Christmas. The clothes....

...ohhhhh the clothes.

And more clothes and bows and this cute little baby backpack that she loves.

She loves to sing "Tonight, Tonight" by Hot Chelle Rae. She also thinks it's hilarious to give me kisses then wipe them off and say "ewwww". These are things I'd like to capture on video, but once the camera comes out she becomes more interested in that than in performing.

We did manage to get duck, duck, goose, though.

She yells "niiiiiiiiiiight" at bedtime, and "hello?" when the phone rings. She also says "I love you" but it comes out as "luh low". It's exactly the same way she says "yellow", but I don't mind - it's still just as sweet.
