No CommentsDIY: How to Make a Zippered Wet Bag
A necessary part of the cloth diapering adventure is {apparently} having wet bags readily available. At the very least, I’ve been told I need one in the nursery, one by the toilet, and one in the diaper bag. I finished sewing this large wet bag for the nursery last week. (I also sewed a matching...

No CommentsOn the Road to Notre Dame
Today we’re heading out on the road again, but this time, we’re taking a road trip with Chris’s parents, brothers, and sister all the way up to South Bend, Indiana, to go to a Notre Dame football game. And yes, I’m 36 weeks pregnant today. Does this make me just a little bit crazy? Probably,...

No CommentsHow to Make a Crib Mobile
Chris and I spent most the long weekend with his parents in Huntsville, but we intentionally set aside Sunday afternoon and today for some much-needed time at home.

3 CommentsFinishing Up the Nursery
Chris and I have both switched into “get it done” gear in regard to Mackenzie’s nursery and finishing up our preparations for her. I have a few nursery projects that have just been dragging on, and I finally finished two of them Monday. I am really pleased with the chair. There are so many little...

No CommentsThankful
What an amazing week. We were busy every single night. Gotta squeeze things in while we can, right? On Monday, we had coffee and caught up with friends, and Tuesday night we went to another Financial Peace University class to make up for missing Sunday night. Wednesday, Chris’s parents came up to Nashville with Ria...
