Sewing it up!

I have gotten into a blog by Jill which is awesome.  Yesterday I had a little sewing party here and away we went.  I now have a new sling, burb clothes and baby bibs.  It really was not hard at all and it was so much fun cutting out all the patterns with friends. I will post a pic soon of my new items.

You can find one of my new favorite blogs here:

You really don’t need any experience to do this and it makes a cute and cheap baby gift.  Find a friend with a sewing machine or come on over and use mine!!

I am going to try to make a tutu and babylegs for my neighbor’s baby who is turning 1 on Sunday.  Mia is too old for the legs and I don’t think Josh would let me put them on Jace so I need to find someone to give these cute things to.  I am sure Mia will be wanting a tutu next.

Baby got bottles

Hey all.  Since I am updating this now for Josh, I am going to put in something that I found.  At Babies R Us you can exchange your old bottles for new BPA free ones for FREE!!  How awesome is that.  I took in 10 Avent bottles that I used with Mia and came home with 12 Dr. Brown’s and Mam’s for no cost out of my pocket.  The bottles have to be ones that they carry in the store at that time and have all the original parts (bottle, ring and nipple).  Now I am not really that concerned about the BPA in bottles but to get new ones is always better.  Especially when you don’t have to pay anything.

Now if you really want to cheat the system, my sister came up with this idea.  I don’t promote this because I think BRU is already doing such an awesome thing but I will tell you her idea.

BRU will give you the amount that the store is selling them for currently.  So I took in 5 9oz Avents.  Well the store sells them in 3 to a package or in singles.  So 3 of them went for one package price at 12.99 then the singles went for 5.99 a piece.  So if you just took them in randomly you would eventually get more money back.  5 singles instead of 3 pack and 2 singles.  But like I said I wouldn’t promote this since they are already doing us bargain shopping moms a deal.

Target also is having some amazing deals for kids clothes.  75% off most of kids clothes.  I found Jace several shorts/tees for next summer anywhere from .98 to 1.98.  Lots of maternity as well for 75% off.  But I did not even think about buying that!!

Like Father Like Son

Just a quick update to show you how big Jace is getting.

See any resemblance to daddy here?

If not, the next time you see Josh check out his cheeks!!
