Six Things

Hey!

So, I was on twitter tonight. Like, actually on it, not just the random post here and there, but actually spending time and following along and having 140 character convos.

I saw this thing on there tonight called #sixthings. I saw it from @MinkyMoo but I believe it was started by @amydpp.

Anyway, thought it sounded fun, decided to join. Here are my Six Things. And if you want to join in on twitter, just follow along and you'll be updated on the next #sixthings gathering.

1. My inner monologue is always in a British accent
2. I always forget that I have a very visible tattoo on my neck
3. The hubs and I always try to one-up each other with slang gangsta sayings...Fo Sho! Word! Yo Momma! Fo Shizle!  {don't be jealous}

4. I will eat an entire wheel of brie all by myself
5. I was featured on GMA last July in a segment on 'making $$$ from home' with @sarahmae
6. I secretly pretend I am a rockstar when the hubs is not home. Ya, I'm so cool

And there you have it. 6 random, but fascinating facts about yours truly.

I would LOVE to know a random fact about YOU. Please share in the comments or follow on twitter and share.

Awkward and Awesome Thursday

Awkward
-This dream I had where Trinity wasn't really mine. I was just a surrogate who also had to nurse her for a few months and her momma was an old black woman.
-resting my arm on the attached-to-the-wall soap dish, the whole thing broke off...Super Hero asked if the sink broke in half. Really? What kind of activities do you think I'm up to in the there?
-tried on a dress from my closet and a spider was crawling at warp speed toward my face. Yes, I yelped, and flicked him off. Then I had issues with being in my room because I didn't know where he landed.
-During one of the many baby-likes-to-eat-every-45-minutes nights this week, I managed to put my nursing pad in backwards, so for her next feeding my whole left side got soaked. Did I change my nightgown? Nope! I just threw a towel on the bed and told Super Hero not to worry about the sour milk smell

Awesome
-Science kiddo started scouts again this year, he is now a 1st year webelos scout and greatly looking forward to earning his badges.
-Chatty Boo has started ballet. She is not graceful, at all. Super Hero said something about getting it from some woman...but I didn't hear him.
-Went to a wedding to watch two people pledge their love for each other and to God.
-Mootshie Pie is growing so fast! Soon her double chinned, lumpy legged self will be in 3mo clothing!
-Watching my Science Kiddo and Super Hero break dance
-Super Hero and Chatty Boo, dancing sweetly together

What was awkward/amazing for you this week?


btw, got this cute aa thursday idea from this blogger!

Inifinity Scarf

I love scarves! Anyone who knows me knows how great of an understatement that it. I love them all year, but especially in the Fall. One can never have too many scarves and I am so thrilled I found a tutorial on how to make my own, simple, scarf.

I came across this tutorial the other day for an infinity scarf. I own a few and really love them! This tutorial is so simple, and requires NO sewing. Even better!

Here are the two I made. The first was made using a size small maternity top {from my 1st pregnancy}. This is the perfect size to use for a little girl scarf.

See how perfectly cute that is?! I just cut the bottom part of the shirt, under the arms and then cut the trim off the bottom. {the tutorial link above will go over this in more detail}

This tank is a size large maternity, from my 3rd pregnancy. {we just won't go there, k? Mmkay}.

Again, just cut the bottom part under the arms and cut the bottom trim off. I stretched this one, since it was 100% cotton, and that made it nice and long. Perfect for wrapping several times! The edges of the green scarf have rolled, which makes it look better, I think.

Now I am on a major hunt for some cute tees that I can turn into Infinity scarves.

How about you, what's your favorite Fall accessory?

Baby Crazy

Wow! So much has happened in the last month. I should be 38 weeks pregnant right now, but instead, I have a little girl that will be 4 weeks old tomorrow!

Things turned super crazy on July 25th. I want to tell you all about it. Hopefully soon I will have it all written and ready for you.

But for now, I'm just enjoying this:
