Bib & snack bag review

I recently purchased some items from Little Bugs Boutique.  Since  I love the items so much, I thought I would do a review here.  Amanda, the owner, was very nice to work with.  I ended up with 4 snack size reusable bags and 2 toddler bibs.

Here are the bags....

They are very well constructed and the perfect size!

Here are the bibs...


They look a bit different don't they?  Well, they are.  They offer great coverage so that the child's shoulders are covered.  Also, the snaps on the bottom are great because they create a pocket for catching food, but can be unsapped for easy clean up.

As a seamstress myself, I was impressed with the professional stitching on the items.

If you're in need of custom bracelets, stitch markers (for knitting/crocheting), bibs, cloth wipes or snack and sandwich bags go check out her stuff!
on HyenaCart
or cloth diapering mamas can find her here

Painting

Newest renovation projects...
A few days ago we finished tiling the spare bathroom.
Yesterday my mom and aunt came over to help with painting the kitchen.


LittleBigMan even got to help out a little bit


I need to do a few small touch-ups today, but our kitchen is now red!


We LOVE it!

Mother's Day

Thanks to my husband and my sweet little boy, I had a great Mother's Day.  Here's how we celebrated...

I got to sleep in until 9 a.m.!!!  We ate lunch at SouperSalad.  Yum...


Then we went to Palmer Park and did some hiking...


LittleBigMan received a lesson on why we don't touch the cacti...


Took a quick break to get a photo of me and my son...


LittleBigMan did really well hiking, but got tired at the end.  Daddy to the rescue...


LittleBigMan was pretty excited to see an airplane fly right over us...


And with some help from Daddy, LittleBigMan told me "happy. mama. day".

Baby A

*I thought I read the contest rules closely, but I did not.  I have changed the photo to one that has been taken within the last six months*


This is one of my favorite recent photos of my son, Baby A (no longer a baby and now nicknamed LittleBigMan). I snapped lots of pics that day.  Like in this photo, he laughed a lot at my goofy attempts to get him to smile.  He was such a good sport.  And, of course, bribing him with playing at the park didn't hurt.      

I'm entering this photo in the Beautiful Baby Photo Contest.  Please go vote for my little guy on MAY 17TH here:
parenting BY dummies
and join in the fun by entering a photo of your beautiful baby!

Not much new... but SPRING is here!


LittleBigMan and I enjoyed some fresh air and sunshine at the park today.
