Isn't it funny that we have to clean appliances that clean? Isn't that it's job!? š I always think about that whenever I am doing tasks such as these!
Planning a Birthday Party for your 1 Year Old
Your little one is about to turn 1! If you're anything like me, you are probably thinking, "How did this happen, he was just born a few week ago?!" That's how I feel anyway. We just celebrated Baby L's first birthday and it was a roller coaster of emotions. I still can't believe it! Have I said that already? Hopefully this post can help you to get yourself more organized for this very special day!
Hand Print Thank You Cards from Baby
Baby L's birthday is right around the corner and part of the prep is to make sure that I've got thank you cards ready to go. I really wanted to do special thank you cards for Baby Boy's first birthday and since he can't write yet I decided to have him "sign" his cards with a hand print! Y'all know how much I love hand and foot print crafts, so this one was a no-brainer!
What Should I Pack in my Pumping Bag?
Like so many of you mamas out there, I had to return to work after I had my son, but I also wanted to continue to provide breast milk for him as well. That meant mastering the art of using a breast pump, figuring out what I needed to transport from work to home every day, and not spilling any milk in the process š Every mommy is different and you will have to figure out which items fit your situation best, but this list will get you started.
How to Prep and Clean a Plastic Shower Curtain
In the midst of all this cleaning and organizing, I noticed that our shower curtain was getting kind of dingy. I've already cleaned it a handful of times over the years, so I decided that it was time to get a new one.
The Inevitable Rough Parenting Day
We had a big change in the Casey household this week. I have started working part time and will now be spending more time with Baby L. I also experienced one of those inevitable rough parenting days. It seemed like no matter what I did, Baby L kept getting hurt. No matter what happens, every mom will have an awful day where nothing seems to go right.
Christmas Craft: “Mistletoes”
This week the Casey Clan decided to do another footprint craft. This little memory just needs some cardstock paper, green paint and a red sharpie.
Homemade Dishwasher Cleaner
As most of you know, when you move from a rental, it's like pulling teeth trying to get some (if any!) of that deposit back, so I have been going through the house trying to get things squeaky clean, and one of my favorite (easy) household recipes is my homemade dishwasher cleaner. You can buy tablets and such on Amazon but I love to save money (who doesn't) and I also love to use natural ingredients/products whenever possible.
Pumpkin Craft: Spooky Footprint
What a fun time of year! I am not one for haunted houses and being scared (I'm a wimp, I know), but I love the festive spirit, the weather change, and of course, PUMPKINS!
