Easy Homemade {and Relatively Natural} Playdough
When Peanut was in preschool on my university’s campus last year, we got weekly newsletters from the teacher. This is a recipe she included for playdough in one of the newsletters. Peanut loves that she gets to help me make it and play with it. I like that it smells good and I don’t need … Read more
Wool Soakers
Peanut still isn’t night trained. She’s good about 50% of the time, but I’m not cool with washing my sheets every other day. I’m also not cool with getting covered in pee when she sleeps in the bed. The problem is, it doesn’t seem like we have any diapers that are 100% leak proof with her … Read more
Knitted Toddler Sweater
Since I’m new to knitting, I’ve been trying to learn new techniques. One book I’ve really liked for learning the basics is Knitting for the First Time. Starting from the very basics, it gives you simple projects that teach you one or two new techniques at a time. This sweater is technique #3, which teaches … Read more
Knitted Hats
Since Christmas is over, I can start sharing the gifts I knitted for people on here! I finally started knitting in the round and I actually like it! And oh my goodness after knitting on these bamboo needles, I don’t think I’ll ever go back to metal. Even for my flat projects I’ve been using … Read more
Halloween Costumes on a Budget
This was the first year that Peanut actually chose what she wanted to be and as you can see, she wanted to be The Cat in the Hat. She also requested that my husband and I be Thing 1 and Thing 2 (respectively). I wasn’t too excited initially, but then I figured out a way … Read more
Homemade Gifts
I used to think of homemade gifts as cheap. Something that only incredibly thrifty (when that word used to have a bad connotation in my head) people gave. I used to think of homemade gifts as macaroni necklaces that kids made for their parents in school. I used to think of the importance of gifts … Read more
Knitted Gryffindor Scarf
Yeah, I’m a little bit of a Harry Potter fan. I’ve read the books three times now and I loved them this most recent time just as much as the first two. Even knowing what was going to happen, I loved going through and realizing connections I hadn’t before. I loved watching the love stories … Read more
Toddler Scarf Time!
It seems as though my posts as of late are lacking. My brain can function to write an eight page lab report, but sadly can’t come out with coherent thoughts for my blog. Guess I can blame it on pregnancy brain? Regardless, I’m obviously not posting a lot lately. I’m still writing a lot, but … Read more
Peanut’s Routine
Peanut’s sleep has gotten onto not-so-good ground. I know it’s because things are less hectic and I’ve really been ignoring her bedtime routine and getting her hyped up when she shouldn’t and making dinner too late and all the other wonderful things that mamas that are trying to avoid vomiting do. Anyway, I want to … Read more
