30 Day Drawing Challenge


Found this on Pinterest and had to accept the challenge. I think everyone should also accept this challenge, you don't have to be great at drawling it's just something fun to do. Enjoy!

Easy Diaper Cake

I wanted to make a diaper cake for my Sister's baby shower, but I wasn't too thrilled to roll each diaper and wrap a rubber band around the diapers. So I found an easy way to fit that. 

Materials:
1. Diapers
2. Large Rubber bands
3. Ribbon
4. Items to decorate cake
5. Large lotion or Wash bottle
6. Cake pan
7. Pins


Step 1: Put Baby lotion in middle of the cake pan, then wrap diapers around bottle and put one large rubber band around diapers.


Step 2: Second tier wrap diapers around bottle


 Step 3: Third tier diapers are wrapped around the bottle cap.


Step 4: Wrap ribbon around each tier. Use pins to secure ribbons. 


Step 5: Put decorations on cake

It's that time again.

Every year we feel as though we need to make a new year resolution.

I like this tradition of finding something about yourself you would like to better, either it's trying new recipes to losing weight.

I looked back to my new years resolutions that I made last year, sadly I don't think I really improved on any of them. But I guess last year was a very different kind of year. My husband and myself decided to have a baby, so trying to loose weight wasn't something I was going to stress over. Hanging out with my friends more often didn't happen like I had hoped, but I guess in our adult lives it's hard to get everyone out and about. Starting a business didn't seem to logical either.... I guess what I'm trying to say is that I want to have goals for this year and I'm going to try my hardest, but you know if I don't get to everything done, I know I'm going to be just fine.


Last year I didn't accomplish a lot on my list, but me and my husband made a life and I feel as though that little life made my year wonderful.

So here are my goals this year:
-be a loving wife to my wonderful husband. We all need to be reminded how amazing we are.
-be there for my beautiful daughter. She needs me to be strong for her.
-spend more time with my family/communicate more with them. without family where would you be?
-call my friends more often, you should never be too busy for those who have stepped into your life and once made you smile.

*************
-I want to make more gifts for my love ones. even if it's a simple gift, it's from the heart. and what better gift can you give then that?
-make time for me. I love to make crafts.
-I want to relearn the violin. I once was fantastic at it, and I gave it up.. and why? I have no idea.
- being more organized at home.
-lose the baby weight that was gained. I know I won't have the body I had before and I'm fine with that. I just want to be more comfortable in my own skin.
