Organize: Baby clothes in shelf

Finally got to fixing Brie's clothes!

We got a shower curtain from the hardware store and took out one shelf to get the desired height. Put both together and there you have it! Her very own space for her pretty, tiny clothes!

These are for the "nice" clothes and dresses so it's easy to choose which one she'll wear for the weekend. The onesies stay in the drawers :)

When the dresses get longer (as she grows taller), we'll probably have to take out the bottom shelf as well.

I'm still figuring out the best way to organize her leggings and shoes... I don't want to just put them on the bottom shelf because the dog would surely snoop there.

Recipe: Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

I wanted some hazelnut cookies but I realized that I only had a couple of tablespoons of Nutella left. So I ended up making peanut butter cookies packed with tons of chocolate chips instead. Important notes before you begin: Chilling is mandatory! You should chill the cookie batter for at least 4 hours, as long as 3 days in case you get sidetracked. You will need 2 baking sheets. So either bake those 2 sheets at the same time, or you bake it one after the other, with the rack positioned in the middle. If you do bake with 2 sheets simultaneously, position 1 baking rack at the top, and the other at the bottom. You will switch the baking sheets' positions half way thru baking time. Ingredients 1 ¼ cup All-Purpose Flour ½ teaspoon Baking Soda ½ teaspoon Baking Powder ¼ teaspoon Salt ½ cup softened Butter (1 stick) *not melted* ½ cup Brown Sugar, tightly packed 1 Large Egg 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract ¾ cup Creamy Peanut Butter Spread 2 cups Chocolate Chips Direc...

DIY Felt Dress Up Dolls Series: Ariel

Ariel's has been Brie's favorite "dress". She calls the bra "boobs". I love it. It's also the easiest to pair! How can you miss a fish tail? This was very straightforward. Bra. And tail. All I added was a bit of design on the top of the tail. This is what Ariel looks like assembled.

DIY: magnetic fishing game

I'm not even sure if Brie is ready for this game at 16 months but I know that she currently loves magnets. So instead of buying her a fishing toy, I decided to make a set out of whatever materials I already have. I used the following: foam sheets for the fish paper clips to make the fish magnetic a tiny magnet sewed into a cloth pouch ribbon for the fishing line a chopstick for the fishing pole glue to stick things with, scissors to cut things with, and finally a marker to draw the fish details and make them cute Cut out fish from foam sheets. Best to cut out one and then use that as a template for the rest. Then you put a paper clip on one fish and glue on another foam fish on top of that. Use a marker to draw the fish details. I don't have step-by-step pictures for the "hook and line" that I made. It's very simple: get a tiny magnet, put it in a piece of cloth, sew it sealed, then tie a ribbon on that and onto a chopstick. That...
