Friday Faves!

My little sweetness (of course)...


PROJECT RUNWAY!!! LOVE this show and am so excited for a new season!


Dry Shampoo = Mommy must have!!! WHY have I not tried this before???

Not being afraid to get wet!


The Dollar Store - Well I actually don't care for the Dollar Store on most occasions, but for birthday party crap, it was perfect!

Pinterest - Just might be my new addiction. Definitely more addicting than Facebook. LOVE IT!

The smile on C's face every morning! (This was one of many UNSUCCESSFUL attempts at the 12-month photo.)


Baking Success!!! (Same cookies, two different icings)




Listening to Andrew playing with Carson yesterday...so sweet. He stayed home with him after our doctor's appointment instead of having the nanny come over. Andrew was worn out at the end of the day. Dads need that little reminder every now and then about how exhausting it is.

Knowing that your child has learned to show affection because of all the hugs and kisses you give him. I read somewhere that it's a good sign if a child has a stuffed animal or lovey that they want and hug on all the time. It shows that they've learned how to love and show affection from you. All together now... "Ahhhh, so sweet." This was Andrew's baby doll by the way...Carson LOVES it!

A SERGER/OVERLOCK MACHINE!!!


I laugh now because when I took my sewing class last year, the instructor called it. She could tell I was LOVING sewing and was also a perfectionist when it came to certain things. She was right. I want to make stuff for other people, not just for Carson, and I can't stand how a sewing machine finishes an edge. It's pretty rough looking compared to how a serger does it. There are certainly ways to pretty up garments using just a sewing machine, but it takes a lot more time and effort... two things I don't have much of these days.

Most people won't find this exciting, but I am PUMPED!!! I will likely be like a guy and bypass the manual and just start playing! Actually, probably a bad idea because I'm pretty sure there is a lot I can screw up. I can't wait to figure it all out and get started!

Happy Friday!
