Just Breathe...

Wow!  It's crazy how fast time flies!  I can't believe we're already so far into May.  I feel like I've been caught in a whirlwind with no time to relax...  The last couple of weeks have been full of projects and places to be!  Here's what I've been up to:

{1} Celebrating 6 MONTHS with this little guy & celebrating that he put on a little more weight!  Still not where he needs to be, but we're moving in the right direction.  (6 month weight = 12 lbs. 9 oz.)

{2} Turning a couple yards of Amy Butler's newest line into these Mother's Day gifts - with a little help from a tutorial from Delia Creates...

{3} Receiving gifts like this one from my favorite little people to celebrate a FABULOUS Mother's Day!

Apparently closing the blinds at night & reminding kids to brush their teeth makes you the BEST mom ever!

{4} Making all the hair pieces for her ballet company's Spring Performance...

and among many other things... {5} Getting back in the saddle for a very well organized all WOMAN'S ride.  It was a great ride minus the super strong headwinds that started around mile 35!!  It felt good to ride again...





Mother's Day Ideas...

My cousin asked for a couple of mother's day ideas she could do with her YW.  Here are a few:

Single Serving Pie in a Jar {from Our Best Bites}.  Pie is the new "it" thing this year - no more cupcakes!  Or so they say anyways!!  Don't these just look yummy though??  You can freeze them & just pull one out & bake it for a delicious treat!

Or how about these felt flowers {from The Fickle Pickle}.  They can be used as a broach on a sweater or bag or as a hair clip.

Or maybe a simple hook board - love the mason jar too!  This can be found at Shanty2Chic...



Mother's Day is May 8th - which is just around the corner!!  Good time to start thinking about gifts...
