2 things at once

I promised my out of state brother I would blog again, and that was a few days ago, so I am a little behind!

Baby Girl keeps me pretty unproductive these days.  She nurses ALL. THE. TIME.  Which is actually nothing new for me, since all my kids were like that.  I think it has something to do with being big babies - they need more sustenance.  But I'm okay with that - because all my big babies also slept through the night by 8 weeks.  So it's a decent trade-off in my opinion.

She is growing so fast I can hardly stand it.  Even though we thought we were done having kids before we got pregnant with her, now that we have her I want to slow down time so we can enjoy all the little moments of her growing up.  It already seems to be flying by.

Here are a few pictures of her cuteness:




 Her first Valentine's Day.

 In the car on her way to her 2 week check up.  Which she passed with flying colors!

Since I spend the majority of my days sitting in my big puffy chair nursing her highness - I have had to learn to multi-task.  You know, do 2 things at once.

Here's a list of all the things I can do AT THE SAME TIME I am nursing.  I know you'll be super impressed:

Watch TV
Watch online videos
Surf the web one-handed
Text one-handed
Eat one-handed
Yell at my other kids
Did I mention watch TV?

I spend a lot of time watching TV these days.  Pretty productive, huh?

While you marvel at my ability to do all these things WHILE I am nursing my baby, I'll just leave you with one of my current favorite commercials (I don't have DVR, so I see a lot of commercials as well).  I like to call it, "2 things at once."

She is so sweet!! And yes they do grow up fast. I was so grateful for my iPhone when I was nursing- saved my sanity at times.

Can so relate to the yell at the other kids.
It was only one other kids, but still I could keep tabs and run interference. Mad skillz, we moms have them!

such a sweet little yawn in that picture. What a darling sweetheart you have there. Multi-tasking is a very important thing when nursing. It really saves your sanity, doesn't it? :)

she's adorable....love the head adornments....how the heck do they stay on? So cute, didn't get to play with that stuff having only 1 boy!
Such a beautiful baby. I wish they didn't grow up so fast.

I see a lot of commercials too and those AT&T ones crack me up every single time.
Oh my gracious! She is beautiful!!!! Congratulations!!!!

I'm with ya. I did tons of TV watching when my little ones were nursing! I was also really good at ordering things from the infomercials that run at 3:00 a.m. HA!

lol it's amazing what you can {or can't} do when you have one attached isn't it!? My oldest didn't nurse well or long, so it was a whole new experience with my youngest, who nursed all.the.time!!

My daughter nursed all the time too...slept through the night at week 2 and was never sick. I agree it is a great trade off. Loved your multi tasking abilities. You are too funny...and Baby girl is adorable. I love her mouth.

Hand Made for Fall - A party and a Giveaway!

I've been a busy girl! I have been wanting to do a giveaway for Fall, and when my fab friend Heidi revealed that her Monthly Craft Challenge for October would be Fall-themed crafts, I thought "YES! I will do a giveaway of Fall items - handmade by me!" So today I'm linking up with Heidi , and introducing my Handmade For Fall Giveaway as I show you what I've made for Heidi's party ! Sound good? First, a while back I showed you some coasters that I made, but it was clear back when I first started blogging, so I'm going to show you again with this new seasonal set! This idea has been floating around blog land, and I've seen several different variations. Here's how I do it. You will need: paper napkins, 4x4 ceramic tiles, 4x4 cork squares, MOD PODGE (what else?), sponge brushes (not shown), and polyurethane (not shown). Start by cutting your napkin down to a manageable size, slightly bigger than your tile. Next spread a layer of mod podg onto the t
