My son loves playing in the bath...especially if the faucet is running.

This is my son's new big boy bath.  I love the colors and he loves it too.  THese are the suction cup mats to keep him from slipping.

My son loves his Bob the Tomato book from Veggie Tales, so I added some Bob touches to his 1st Birthday party. Material: Tomato, mozarella, black olives and a cherry tomato cut in half.

I fell of the blogging wagon for awhile and let life carry me along undocumented.  Something that has become increasingly important to me over the past couple years is natural foods.  I've learned so much about GMO's, food additives, and toxins that it leaves one to consider what is left to eat?  My response is to put the only natural, complete food into my body that I can find for at least one meal, rid toxins, and slowly transition the rest of my eating lifestyle to healthier.  My other response is to only feed my baby organic food from the start.  I hope to add myself to that as well and have become choosier about my food sources.  It's not easy, but it's a start.  If you'd like to join me on my journey, please leave me a message.  Company is always welcome!

Pinterest inspired DIY

DIY: My first Pinterest inspired project that I've done!  My friend Meg picked up a second hand Little Tikes picnic table for somewhere.  It was quite dirty and had paint stains on the top.  Thanks to Pinterest...I knew what I could do to shape it up.  Here is the result.  Three rolls of Duct Tape and some contact paper and viola!

Here is basically what I started with:




And here is the finished project!
K- now has a new table!
