Gerber Daisy Hair Clips -- I love Gerber Daisy's so much, I thought I would make hair clips out of silk daisy's and wear them! 

Handmade Citrus Scrub -- super simple and easy to make, and is a great gift.  Take a large craft stick (tongue depressor-size), drill a small hold through one end, and run thin jute twine through it, tie off in a knot.  Makes a great applicator.  This scrub is in a small jelly jar and wrapped in a hand towel ready to gift!

Pacifier Clips -- These clips are for the Avent Soothie pacifiers.  You slide the ribbon through the hole on the pacifier, then run the clip-end through the ribbon to secure the pacifier.  These are made from 100% cotton, and are machine washable.

Burp Clothes -- Made from 100% cotton, and machine washable, these burp clothes are every moms lifesaver.  I pair them with a paci-clip for a sweet little baby gift.

Burp Cloth & Pacifier Clip -- This is my most requested baby gift.  Both are made from 100% cotton, and are machine washable.  

Baby gift basket with homemade hooded bath towels, wash clothes, burp clothes, and pacifier clips.  (This basket was made for Baby O' -- Kayleigh)  All sewn items are made from 100% cotton, and are machine washable.

Hooded bath towels with burp clothes, and pacifier clips.  This can be gifted in a gift/laundry basket, like above, or boxed.  Also available are little bath sponges that can be in the shape of a duck, letter (for baby name), bear, etc.  Will post pics of those soon!

Ribbon embellished, or flower embellished hooded bath towels.  Made from 100% cotton, and machine washable.  Perfect for after bath or, also available, hooded beach towels.

Hooded Bathtowels

Handmade hooded towels for your little chickadees!  You can custom order these hooded bath towels in any combination of colors.  Towels can be plain-coordinating (like the yellow one - this towel has yellow stripes down each side that coordinate with the hood), or you can have them embellished with ribbon, flowers, buttons, etc.  Also available are hooded pool/beach towels.

Mini-Meatball Italian Wedding Soup

This is the soup that Little Man and I love to make together!  He loves helping out, he loves to cook, and he loves getting his hands in the "mooshy" meatball mix and rolling meatballs.  Like my other cooking posts, because I love to taste a little bit of everything in one bite, I dice the carrots (not chop), as well as the onion and celery.  Because I am not a fan of veal, I don't bother with the "trifecta" of meats.  I use a very lean ground beef.  You won't notice the difference because the parmesan and nutmeg make every bit of difference in the world.  They become the basis for the flavor in the meatballs.  The best pasta to use in the small macaroni (small salad-style) ring pasta.  For the spinach I never seem to use one whole pound, I'm afraid it might take over the soup, as well as take away from what it is.  I use whatever amount I feel like, rolling it and slicing it into thin strips.  

Bacon and Potato Soup

This soup was everything I had hoped it would be...and more!  It is that wonderful, hearty winter fill on a cold night.  Like always, I follow the recipe but look for ways to save time, here's how I do it on this one -- I dice, or chop really, the bacon BEFORE I cook it, and I buy the shredded carrots in a bag and use my hand chopper to make them small bite-size pieces.  I use my hand chopper for onion as well, because I hate chopping onions, and I like every bite to be proportionate.  

Welcome!
