Solution continued

Solution:

"To the empty wristlet" (yesterday's post}

A

Mom's Car seat Caddy

using felt.

{FAST . fun . Five steps}

You can make one too!

Yep..

just swing it around for passenger seating!

Directions:

1. cut 2 11in X 20in pieces

2. cut 1 of the pieces in thirds (these will be the pockets.)

3. pin and sew the pockets to the 11 X20 piece of felt that is left over.

4. fold the top over 1 in. to create a Dow rod pocket (this is optional..for added support)

5. sew two 1/2 yard pieces of ribbon to each side ..below the pole pocket.

That's it!

Possibilities are endless!

brewing... A solution

Problem:I have this crazy CUTE wristlet purse that sits empty in my closet.

It was a Birthday gift from my Hubby..way back in August.

He was so proud!

He picked it out all by his lonesome! No hints.. No nagging.

I was totally SURPRISED!..

and I bet the girls in the Coach store were too!

Yep..

Don't let the cowboy boots fool you...He obviously knows how to Pick 'em!"

It even has splashes of GREEN...my Fav!

I feel really guilty for not using it..

but I just can't narrow it down.

I need ALL these things close to me. .

Really I do!

"Sew"

I made a solution..over the weekend.
I'm working on a PICtorial.

Come back TOMORROW and see!

Think pockets.

Brewing... A BIG change

CHANGE:

Something I don't do well with!

Me moving to a little lake house..

Trying to Renovate a little lake house..

in a little bitty town..

= HUGE change!

I Eat the EXACT same cereal every morning around the EXACT same time with the EXACT same amount of Banana slices.

I usually eat a salad for lunch every day..

but I do venture off for dinners and sweets.

My kids nap around the Exact same time.

I have been with the EXACT same guy since High school.

The furniture in my house has stayed in the EXACT same place for 7 years.

and

I totally FREEZE when a friend calls at the last minute asking me to do something.

I am the definition of STRUCTURE!...

and so NOT a FUN.. Free spirited person to hang with!

and ..

for those of you who think I make a fun MOM just because I'm crafty..

well..

I feel like a big Drill Sargent most of the time!!!

but..

This is how GOD made me.

I am trying my hardest to welcome this change.... It does feel right!

But It's HARD!

( I brought my babies home and watched them play here.)

I have each little room the EXACT way I want it.
Right now..

I'm trying to remember this:

"For I know the plans I have for you, Plans to prosper you and NOT to harm you, Plans to give you HOPE and a FUTURE!" Jeremiah 29:11

Possibilities are endless!

Brewing... a cocktail for the face

My FACE:

DEAD . dull . THIRSTY!

I guess the rumors are true.

Too much caffeine and winter weather will suck the LIFE right out of your skin!

But..who can walk around with a pile of cream on their face!

I have been researching magazine reviews and saving them to my Mom box /BEAUTY file.

For those of you who think I'm weird for doing this..

YOU are SOOO going to Thank Me!

Here is the answer:

{LUMENE energy cocktail}

Awwww

It's like drinking a gallon of water.

It BRIGHTENS instantly and gives that perfect GLOW ..

without feeling greasy!

and ...

it magically stays looking that way ALL DAY!

I think it it seals in the glow.

It even dries fast so you can still put cream on top!

(i have just used it alone though)

I Know..

It ALL sounds too good to be TRUE!

You can find it at CVS.

( buy 1 get 1 half off)

Let me know what you think.

Brewing...a Mom Box

I Hoard magazines!

I admit it.

I have done this from the time I opened my first TEEN magazine.

All the glossy pages .. All the fun trends..All the makeup ideas..

How could I just pitch all that in the trash!

I know I can't keep doing this!.

It just doesn't work with my new

CLEAN . Simple . Clutter free . ORGANIZED

2010 lifestyle!

CELEBRATE!

Getting excited

Does anyone else get really excited about starting a new year?

For me...

It's a chance to start fresh.. a chance to start something new.. a chance to to welcome change.
And...

for those who are addicted to making lists like myself...

It makes the perfect reason to

search for a new perfect planner.

I've been looking at these from Mom Agenda. They even have page for storing website passwords...something I could really use!

Any other 2010 planners out there I should know about?
