Not so lazy Sunday

hello fellow bloggers! 



I've been busy today.  I started my etsy shop earlier and have been adding stuff to it all night.  I just hope someone will like what I'm selling and buy from me.  I am having so much fun making all of this stuff.  Whenever I find my perfect sewing machine, I am going to make SO much more.  I have so many ideas up my sleeve...it's crazy. 

I decided to dabble a little bit in baking, so I made the fondant from the Make It and Love It blog series "Make a Cake".  I colored it a lavender and baby girl pink color.  Next weekend I will make a cake to practice using the fondant on.  It should be interesting to see if I can actually do this.  If so, I'm going to get super fat from eating so much cake.   

I don't have a lot of time to blog since it's already 10:30 and I don't have Miss P's bath finished.  Does that mean I'm a bad mother?  I sure hope not.  I'll leave you with a couple of pictures of the sweet tooter bug, you know, since I'm talking about her and all!

 

Miss P's baby blues!


Here's Miss P sporting the new bow I made for my Etsy shop! 

Alright!  I'm doing shower/bath time and then hitting the hay!  Hope everyone has a great Monday!

Sometimes I'm a teeeensy bit crazy.

Hello possible blog readers. I say possible because I have no clue if anyone reads what I write or not. If you do, follow me! 




Today I was sitting down reading blogs, only to realize that I am in WAY over my head. I am so addicted to the "Make it and Love it " blog. It's really out of control. This Ashley really knows her stuff and I dig her style. I want her house. haha! That being said, I've decided that it's time to redecorate my house.  This may take 6 years, but I'm going to do it. Eventually.  I won't hold my breath.  LOL




My friend Melissa just posted about how her husband makes her have garage sales because she keeps a lot of "crap". Well, I'm in the same boat with the exception that my husband has ZERO motivation to help me with a garage sale. He will moan and groan until his mouth falls off! Then I eventually give in and say "forget it"...because I can't watch all of the thieving people alone. I have seriously got to have a garage sale. I wish Melissa lived closer and I'd just have one with her. =)


That's all for today!

Busy weekend so far!

This weekend has turned out to be pretty crazy.

LAST NIGHT:
We went to McNellie's to celebrate a friends birthday. He turned 26. (must be nice.) I had two vodka tonics and that was the most I've had since I found out I was pregnant with Miss P. When I stood up it felt like I had drank enough to tranquilize an elephant. I don't think I'll be doing that again!
Here's a picture of my sister in law and me at McNellies:
and this is the birthday boy:



He would probably kill me if he knew I was posting a picture of him eating on my blog. haha!
When we got back to the house, there were a gazillion june bugs in his entry way! It was crazy, so naturally, I had to document the historic moment with my camera. haha!
TODAY:
My sister in law is getting married a week from today in Vegas. I'm really excited for her. Since they decided to get married in Vegas, she wasn't sure if it was okay for someone to throw her a wedding shower. I thought about it for a couple of days and thought "what the heck, she needs one.". But after the time it took for me to decide that I wanted to throw her one, someone else had already taken over. That's alright! I've got the girly party all lined up.


This is the happy couple. 



Today my mother in law and I went to Kohl's and we pretty much devoured her registry there. Then it took everything in my power not to buy something for myself. I did end up getting Mr. B two new pairs of shorts for father's day. I ended up giving them to him about 2 hours ago....haha. I can't keep surprises from people, I get so excited to give them their gifts.



Now that we're home, Miss P is konked. She has been asleep for almost 2 hours. That's what happens when she only gets a 30 minute nap from 8:30 in the morning until 2 hours ago...haha! My child loves people, so she will wait until she absolutely passes out if there are people around her. It's funny.

This is Miss P. Right now. As I type this. She is sleeping next to me on the couch. Isn't she sweet?

I guess since it's 7 o'clock I should prepare to feed my family. HAHA! I'll end by saying that even though the weekend is here, it really doesn't feel like the weekend at all. I was up early this morning and I'll be up early tomorrow morning. I will be looking forward to some sleep in my near future. Hope everyone has a great Saturday night. I think it's movie and popcorn night for us. It may take us 4 hours to watch a movie, but at least we get to watch it with the best snuggle bunny on earth. Happy Saturday everyone. =)

Gotta start somewhere!

Soooo....I'm a newbie to this ginormous blog revolution and I'm a little overwhelmed.  I have no idea where to begin.
I guess the first thing I should do is introduce myself, you know, just incase anyone ever reads my blog. :-)
Since my name is so unique and there are like, three of us that share it in the United States, I will refrain from using my real name.  I plan on making this a public blog and as much as I love people, I do NOT love creepers and weird people.  You can just call me Momma B and I will be more than happy with that.  =)

I work full time at a dental office and love my job.  Blogging is something fun I like to do in my spare time, whatever that means.  Who the heck has spare time anymore, especially with kiddos?  LOL!
My life is pretty boring since all I do is work and go home to play with my super awesome daugther. Not that my daugther is boring by any means...haha...I'm just saying that from an outsiders perspective, I'm probably a pretty boring person. I stay in a lot and watch movies or we'll spend time with family doing family stuff....you know the deal.  I am a very family oriented person and I love game nights!  I also love just sitting on the patio with friends and family talking about old times.  I could listen to music all day long, I like it all and it's hard to bore me with music.  I think I passed that along to my daughter!   
My husband is my absolute best friend in the entire world.  We are high school sweethearts.  "Awwwwww!!!"  haha....I know.  It's pretty cool and we have lots of pictures to show our kids of the two of us practically growing up together.  I like that.  He is a gamer and you may hear me go off on some rant about hating his xbox from time to time.  Don't worry, it's just temporary.  I always get over it almost as soon as I get mad about it.
The reason I decided to blog is because I've recently become an addict to crafty "do it yourself" blogs and the numerous amounts of budgeting/saving/thrifting blogs.  I also love reading blogs about redecorating houses, painting, staining, distressing....etc.   I figured I would share my creations with anyone willing to read it.  I probably won't create much, since I don't have a ton of free time, but I will definitely post about my family, the fun things we do and things I do to save money! 

That's all!  Thanks for reading!
