Gwen Stefani (eta)

She named her new baby boy...
ZUMA NESTA ROCK ROSSDALE
While Zuma is OK (it lives up to Kingston, which is actually cute), NESTA ROCK is just whack.

Opinions?

Good for them, but I STILL think it's absolutely nuts.

Baby's Alphabet



This is the craft project that I have been working on all summer! : ) It's an alphabet that I made for the baby. It hangs above his changing table! I put it up with no help! The top picture is a close up to show you what they look like a little better.
How I did it, you ask?
Well, I bought these wooden rectangles from the craft store. Then, I painted them blue (2 layers). Then I super glued the big letter in the top left corner (got them at craft store). Then, I found all the pictures on the internet and printed them black and white. They got rubber cemented on. Then, with green paint, I wrote the name of what the object was. Then (Eric's idea), I outlined the name of the object with black sharpie marker to make it stand out a bit more. Then, I used MOD PODGE all over the entire thing to give them the shiny look and to keep everything glued together! We gorilla glue'd adhesive putty to the backs and then I stuck them to the wall! : )

I got this idea from a lady on Babycenter.com.. She did it for her little girl's nursery, only they did landmarks in their city. We thought it would be cute if we just picked out an alphabet ourselves.

Tell me what you think!!!
It took a lot of work, but I am VERY happy with how it turned out. Eric loves it too!!! : )

Need to get a stain out of the carpet? And quick!?!

Well then, USE WINDEX!!!
I don't remember where I read this, but I read it in a magazine or on the internet somewhere. And it TOTALLY works! : )

-Make sure you blot the excess.. DO NOT rub it into the carpet!
-Continue to blot until it seems you can't much more
-At this point, apply some squirts of Windex to the stain
-Take paper towel or a sponge (or whatever you want) and LIGHTLY scrub.
-Test first in a very small spot to make sure you aren't rubbing into the carpet.
-If it is getting rubbed further, you need to blot more.
Side Note: You need to do this RIGHT AWAY when the spill occurs. I have never tried on a "set in" stain, but I think it might work differently. If you do it right away, it will definitely work.

Happy Stain Removing!

totally obsessed

ok.. so lately, i've just had not much to do. i just relax and watch movies and read and surf the net all day. which by the way, i DO NOT mind. : )

so i thought i would share my new obsession with y'all..
it's CREEPING ON OTHER BLOGGERS! haha - there are a LOT of really talented women out there in the world just blogging away about their home businesses and some of the crafty things they do. i LOVE looking at all the crafts and organizational do-dads because i HOPE that someday i will be that crafty. the women inspire me to be more and more crafty : ) ..i was never all that artistic, but i always made a killer poster board for school projects!

one thing i have noticed is that a lot of ladies have some interest in Stampin' Up. Stampin' Up is basically a stamping and scrapbooking company and they have A LOT of really cute and cool things. i already have some of their stamps because my mommy had some and now i have them! : )

so now i am totally INSPIRED to start getting a little bit more crafty with my spare time & maybe someday find my own little niche!

One blog I enjoy looking at (because it helps me "search the blogs" so to speak) is:
The Tip Junkie

Well anyways, CORN ON THE COB calls my name : ) In the accent of the adorable Heidi Klum "Byeeee"

the past 3 days

The past 3 days have been the longest 3 days OF MY LIFE! 8 days to go...

Well, I am going to the NEW Farm & Fleet in Verona this morning with my daddy : ) What a change for Verona, honestly. SO weird.

Just want to say sorry

Just wanted to post to say I'm sorry if I've been ridiculously MIA lately. I've been nesting/cleaning like crazy and I do not keep my phone near me during the day. It's usually on the charger or in my purse and I NEVER hear it. And I'm terrible at calling people back, because I put it off and then forget. Whooooops!

So YEAH.. I'll try better to answer my phone during the day.

That's all folks! Ha.....
