Pins Of The Week- Halloween Style

Posted by Jill on September 14, 2011 20 Comments

I haven’t done a Pin Of The Week post in a while, so I figured I’d throw a few great pins in this one. These are all Halloween inspired (since I’m still trying to forget it’s so damn hot here and dreaming of fall).

We might have to make up some of these (originally from The Idea Room) for Kendall’s class this year… or, you know, just for me.

I want to hang a wreath above the fireplace this year, and I can’t decide if I’ll put the TuTu wreath there, or something like this. I don’t know if it will creep me out too much to have in the house… or if it would be better suited for the front door.

We may try something like this this … perhaps on shirts again.

Pin(s) Of The Week- Bacon Cupcakes and School Year Memories

Posted by Jill on July 28, 2011 8 Comments

Actually made these… all by myself! They look all gourmet and tricky, right?

They are not. They are delicious and simple, and everyone in this house gobbled them up. Kendall called them bacon cupcakes. If you like bacon and eggs and toast, you should make them (recipe here). We had them for dinner. We’re big rule breakers like that.

Today is Kendall’s last day of summer session at his Mother’s Day Out program. He has a 3 week break (WHYYYYYY????), and then he starts official preschool (K3) in the fall. PRESCHOOL! Before I know it he’ll be starting Kindergarten, and then he’s off to the prom, and then he’s abandoning me for college. I loved this idea I saw on Pinterest a while back, so this morning, after I dropped him off, I went to the bookstore and picked up their last copy of this book.

The idea, originally from Lisa’s Workshop is to get his teachers, principals, coaches, etc. to sign it and write messages in it every year, then to

give it to him at high school graduation. Awww! Love it. So I’m going to get his summer school teachers to write in it today, and I’m going to

get his 2 year old class teachers to, too, since they’re right across the hall. I hope I can keep up with it!

Pin Of The Week: Mop Romper

Posted by Jill on July 22, 2011 7 Comments

Now that Leyna is becoming increasingly mobile on these hardwood floors, this is looking less and less crazy.

She’s not quite crawling yet, but she’s rolling and scooting everywhere. The dogs are shedding like they dream of becoming hairless cats, and every time I pick her up from the floor, she’s plastered in dog hair.

It’s easy to get disgusted by it when it’s a sweet pink romper that’s picking everything up, but if it’s an actual mop? And it’s just serving it’s purpose? I mean, let’s give the girl a job! Put her in a mop-romper and send her on her way.

I’m only half joking about all this. Bonus for the extra padding on her soft, fat knees. Maybe I can fashion a mop helmet, too, to protect her head from windowsill edges and also to clean cobwebs from the corners.

Kendall is 3 years 2 months (and I would have DIED before I let him roll around in such filth) and Leyna is nearly 7 months (and so very obviously my second child).

Pin Of The Week- Thinking 1st Birthday Party

Posted by Jill on July 14, 2011 27 Comments

ALREADY? I know, I know, but hear me out. It’s less than 6 months away.

My baby is closer to turning one than to the day she was born. Crazy. Just crazy. (OH! And as of 3 hours ago, she has her first tooth!)

And so, since the last half of the year is most definitely the crazier half, always, I know I need to start planning for things like the holidays and a very special little girl’s first birthday. Don’t worry, I’m not to the psychotic stage of Party Planning Psychosis yet. Just in the planning stage, just collecting and pinning inspiration pictures (and putting them on their very own 1st birthday inspiration board).

I fell in love with rainbow themed parties when I blogged this on over at Party Like a Kid. Now, I think I would love to do a rainbow theme in the dead of winter, December 28th, because why not do something so cheerful and bright then? Of course, things could always change, and my ideas will evolve, but I’m toying with rainbow colors on lots of white, incorporating buttons somehow (they’re about as trendy on Pinterest right now as mason jars, so I may be annoyed by them come the end of the year… or maybe I’ll have mason jars full of buttons?).

I’ve always loved those multicolored layered cakes, but who am I kidding? I suck at making cakes. These cookies? I can do.

Heck, I may even try them this summer. I think Kendall will love them!

Have any other rainbow, winter, button-y ideas for me?

I think I have a couple people who posted last week still waiting for Pinterest invites. I’m off to take care of them now. If you’d like one, go ahead and leave your email in the comment section below. And thanks to those of you who’ve been helping me send everyone an invite/ Happy pinning!
