Diaper Bag Set Giveaway!

A big thank you to Debs Fabric Fling  for providing this fabulous prize!   Here is a little more about what our great sponsor has to say about her love of art:
"I love all different kinds of art. I have tried many of them, but seem to return to my sewing machine. I have been sewing since I was nine years of age. My Granny taught me everything. We made patterns out of newspaper. I still use newspaper for patterns but the fast moving business doesn't seem to provide too much actual paper these days...I have sewn everything from dolls to wedding gowns. I like to make new patterns almost daily so who knows what might appear in my shop!"

Everything in the shop is so affordable! Prices run from $4-$29 and there is a super cute zebra named Zak that would be a great addition to any one's toy box!

On to the giveaway- One lucky fan will win a black floral diaper bag set which includes the following:
Black floral print diaper bag set includes diaper bag with pockets, matching baby bib and Onesie Gerber t-shirt.
All three items have a handmade green frog applique, sewn on.

How to survive a toddler

No this is not a blog that will be full of insight and tips on how to survive that seemingly cute little person running around your house but it may make you feel better about your little diva :)

So my daughter is now in a toddler bed & potty training (both things that bring on freedom and frustration) We had this fabulous nap schedule and it was great! Wake up at 9 naps 1-3 and bed at 9....I had no idea how lucky I was! Well little miss fancy pants now refuses to nap-flat out will not sleep until she passes out from shear exhaustion at 8:30 (I usually am not far behind her) What to do? I have no idea but she does go to "quiet time" which means we put her in her bed she climbs out reads books, plays with her babies, and like clockwork after 40 minutes in her room she starts throwing shoes at the door (guess this is our new code for come and get me). Today it is 7:30 and she has just fallen asleep-will it be for the night or just a few hours I do not know but I envy you out there with the little nappers. More on the potty training issues/excitement next time-have a great weekend everyone!

Rant of the Day-Potty Training!

We started potty training our daughter a few weeks ago and it is going great! Well we had a friend over with a little boy also potty training and when I walked into my bathroom this morning I could not believe my eyes! Needless to say this little boy likes to stand up and pee without good aim...ah the mess. So my lesson of the day is that boys do not need the small potty seat attachment unless you want to clean up all day long....sigh.
