DIY: magnetic pen & eraser holder for your board

So this is the time moms actually do all those fun crafts you see on Pinterest! My husband was wondering why I was taking so long staring at the crafts isles in the grocery store and all I wanted to get was a pack of magnets.

Anyway, my first DIY craft for this blog is just a pretty-fied recycled chocolate box with a magnet at the back :)

Finished product.

Why do I need it? Because I now have a magnetic board inspired by Pinterest! We bought a huge oil drip pan from Walmart - we even bought it where they said we should!

I started off with a chocolate box. I cut it in half and then glued them together in the middle to make a thicker box.

Then I took a scrapbook paper and covered it.

Cut the top part so you can fold it into the box.

Glue on a magnet at the back. I didn't even bother covering the back part completely.

And it's done!

Toddler diet: breakfast sample

When my toddler's appetite spikes, I make sure I make the most out of it. Here is one of those breakfasts that Brie enjoyed and actually finished. It took a while - the whole morning - but hey, I'm not complaining! Brie usually sits down for breakfasts, gets full, then starts play time. An hour or so after, I make sure that same breakfast plate is within reach and she either nibbles while she plays or I sneak in a bite for her every now and then. Not pictured: a cup of orange juice, a cup of milk (with Nesquick), and a cup of water. I always make drinks readily available throughout the day because we are still breastfeeding and weaning very, veeerryy sloooowwllyyyyyyyy

Our Little Sunshine's 2nd Birthday Party

We had a wonderful, memorable second birthday party for Brie! Most of decorations we had was Pinterest-inspired. I'd like to share some pictures to inspire other parents looking into a "My Little Sunshine" baby/toddler girl's birthday party.

DIY Felt Dress Up Dolls Series: Snow White

Brie hasn't actually seen Snow White. Can you believe that? It's on the list. She knows Snow White because of her 5-Minute Princess Stories and because of her Disney Princess Duplo Lego Set. I sewed the puff sleeves but I highly recommend gluing them on like Cinderella's puff sleeves. I just wanted to see how it would turn out sewn. This is what Snow White looks like assembled.
