The BOYS' room is completed!!

It's DONE!! Finished today!! I wanted something that would be "big boy" like, as well as "baby" like for both boys. I think we accomplished it. We are keeping BB2's name a secret till he arrives, so I omitted any pictures with his name in them.


Jackson's bed and new name letters.



BB2's crib and no name letters to show for him just yet.




Their dresser and bookshelf. The monkey picture and the giraffe picture above their dresser was made using the Cricut. LOVE the cricut!!



Just a little detail above their closet. I should have taken pics of the inside of their closet. I cleaned it out and organized it. It looks great!!



And this last picture is the best I could get of their whole room without giving away BB2's name.





Now I get to add Austin's bed...

    I really LOVE the baby bedding! And I can't wait to hear what name you chose!

    Thanks Lindsay! We actually got really lucky with that bedding. We weren't going to buy a bed set because we didn't really use Jackson's. We were just going to buy sheets and my mom and I were going to make a skirt. BUT I was just browsing bed sets at Target.com and I found that bed set and I loved it and it matched Jackson's bed set colors, but it was really expensive so I just forgot about it. Within a couple days we saw that bed set clearanced at Target for $36! It was only sold on-line, but for whatever reason it was in store and cheap, so it was meant to be!

    Awesome! I regret getting George's bedding because its pastel baby colors. He enjoys it because its covered in Dinosaurs. But I really wish I would have gotten one where the colors latest till he was older like yours. It's so cute!!

Homemade laundry soap

After about a dozen of my friends started making their own laundry soap I decided maybe it's time I give it a try too.  After talking to a friend that I KNOW is a neat freak like me and she has 4 kids with double the dirty, sticky, crayon-laced clothes that I have, and she raved about homemade detergent I was sure I wanted to make my own laundry soap too.  You can find my recipe here .  I was able to get spaghetti stains off of a white shirt and make Jim's dingy work shorts really clean and bright again.  All of this with just one little tablespoon of homemade detergent.  I did pre-treat the dried spaghetti sauce with a bar of the Fels-Naptha soap (found in the detergent) because someone told me it's a great stain remover and pre-treat agent, and it is! So here's how I made mine... Step 1:  Gather all the ingredients.  I found ALL of the ingredients in the detergent isle at Walmart.  I did buy the generic Oxy-clean, and it's more than enoug...

Maybe a new birthday tradition...

I just have one brother and his birthday is 5 days before mine, so it's been pretty easy to keep up with him. Jim, however, has 3 brothers and a sister, and now 3 of his siblings are married, so the birthday's just keep adding up. My forgetful brain can NOT keep up. Anyway, I've been looking for a cute and thoughtful way to send birthday greetings to all the aunts and uncles since we've been married. Almost 4 years later I think I finally have an idea! My idea is to make a birthday sign every year and have the boys take a picture with the sign for whatever family member has a birthday. Then send the person the picture with birthday greetings. Then every year they will have a different picture with the boys as they grow and I won't feel guilty missing anyone's birthday without proper acknowledgement. I also thought that it would make a great photo album for us if we keep each person's birthday picture with the boys and watch their growth progression ...

The end of school; the end of an era

Soooo, it's been awhile since I've posted, and by "awhile" I mean a year ago.  Oops.  I'm so busy during the school year with my own classes that I forget to post in the blog.  I'll try to do better, especially for our family that lives far away. The end of this school year was crazy!  I felt like I was running in circles working in the PTA- there was so much to do!  I thought joining the PTA would be some good volunteer time at the boys' school- I had NO idea just how much time it takes!  Next year, I'll be a little more prepared because I know what's coming.  And that's not even the crazy part- Jackson has finished elementary and Harrison graduated from pre-k.  That's crazy!  Where did the time go?! Harrison's graduation was first, so I'll start there.  It was soooo sweet and so cute, and I cried like a baby because he IS my baby.  This tiny person is such a perfect little caboose for our family.  Recently, I've been thin...
