Mama's got a Hobby

I've really missed sewing. 

Since I don't have a space in our home where my sewing stuff can always remain out it's sometimes too big a project to haul everything out during naps only to pack it all up an hour later. 

This last week however I found some time and it's been AWESOME. 

I made some bibs. 

And my favorite and most practical creation yet ... Chapstick key ring!!!

Never misplace your Chapstick again!

Today I made 12 to sell and I'm so happy with how they turned out. 

I only have 4 left after only a few hours so I will definitely be making more. 

Boy have I missed sewing. 

Never say never

Never did I picture us as a cosleeping family. 

In fact we have been adamant about not creating these habits. 

What's so funny about this is the one piece of advice I've given all my mommy friends is be prepared to throw out all of your parenting plans/rules and just listen to your child. 

Lucas is having nightmares. Sad, heartbreaking, gut wrenching nightmares. 

At night he needs us. 

So until this phase passes ... he gets us. 

Thank goodness we have a king size bed. He sleeps right between mom and dad where we are just a touch away should a nightmare arise. 

As you can see he's a very considerate sleeper taking up nearly no space 😉

And sometimes when the dreams get really scary he holds Daddy. 

While mom and dad don't sleep as well with the occasional kicks to the back from Luke, I am kinda loving this phase. 

Trust me ... no one is more surprised about this than I am. 

But when you wake up to a little face in yours saying "Mama!" and kissing you on the lips ... I mean come on! 

The daily

Sorry the blogging has been sparse. I've really been soaking up every moment with my boys and playing so hard during the day that I'm ready for bed at 7!

Despite having a wicked migraine Sunday night and most of today we managed up have some great family time this weekend. 

Here's what we've been up to ...

Grocery shopping double decker style 

Enjoying Easter treats from my Grandmas. 

Taking silly selfies with mommy. 

Turning 5 months old!!

Weighing in at a whopping 12lbs 

Being a good helper. 

Napping with mommy and daddy. 

Hating purées. 

And starting new family traditions. 

Cinnamon rolls and Jammie walks. 

Stay tuned for more shenanigans ;)
