Baby Legs!

I made my own baby legs. I'm pretty darn proud of them too.
Once a year there's this really big festival a little bit up north. It's a three day event the last weekend of September. It's called Cranfest (cranberry festival) and it's basically a huge flea market and craft fair. There's 1500 vendors if not more. And the crowds are huge! Foot traffic will come to a stand still at times. And there's all sorts of things to buy. There's people that do wood sculptures and metal sculptures. And house crafts and all sorts of stuff. So as we were finishing up, I found a tent where someone was selling knee socks for $1 a pair. I bought 4 pairs. All pairs a striped. Two are grey and brown, one is black and white, and the last is grey and white. When we got home, I went to my grandma's (thats where my sewing space is) and made up all four pairs. It only took me about 40 minutes. And they are adorable.  I can't wait to go buy more socks and make more. Andrew was the first to model them last night because Nathan stayed at my parents house.









Four pairs for $4. As opposed to like $75.

Nothing really

Why is there nothing to do on the internet at 1:30 in the morning? I honestly can't think of anything to look for. Andrew woke up and started crying. He's asleep now but now I'm awake. And I have to work in 3 and a half hours. SLEEP! I wish Elliot would come to bed.

Hi Everyone!

Hello. Let's see, where should I start. I'm Katie. I'm a young mommy to 2 handsome boys. I'm 22 and my boyfriend is 24. We've been together for a little over 4 years. My oldest Nathan is 2 years old and my youngest Andrew just turned 1.

I'm trying to live a bit of a more greener lifestyle. Unfortunetly, it hasn't been working out in my favor. When Nathan was about 17months and Andrews was 5 months, I started using cloth diapers. My decision for that was the simple fact that we are a 1 income family and simple could not afford to buy diapers as often as needed with two. Elliot slowly came around to using them. So it was all good. I even bought a sewing machine and started making my own. Then certain things happened and we had to move back in with Elliot's parents. That wouldn't be a big problem except that his mom is rather opinionated about alot. She openly told me that she thinking cloth diapers cause more rashes and they aren't effective. Ugh. So I guess as long as she's the one usually buying diapers. It's more work to argue about cloth vs disposables.

Andrew recently turned 1. Like 3 days ago. So I was told that once he turned 1, he didn't need to be on formula anymore. I told Elliot's mom this. I said I'd figure out something to do with the extra formula. I come home from work the other day and she says "I've decided to just use the rest of the formula. I'm going to do half and half with milk". WTF. I told her he didn't need it. Formula is made to be like breastmilk. Whole milk is not. I told her again that he doesn't need it, but she didn't really listen. I don't ever know what to say. I want to tell her they're my kids and I know what they need and what's best for them. But at the same time I think about how she's helped us out and how much she has done for us. I guess, I'm just looking forward to the day we move out.

Which brings me to my next little topic. Once we finally have our own place (wether it be a house or apartment type home) I'm going to planting a garden with lots of veggies and other fun things. I will be using cloth diapers again. Just alot of green living.

So, more about me. As I said, I'm 22. I work full-time at a local grocery store in the bakery department. It is very hard to resist not eating something. Lol. My shift is 5am to usually 1pm. As much as I dont like waking up so early, I do like being done early because I can always plan things in the afternoon. I dont have to ask for a day off to make appointments. It works pretty well.
I think that's all for now. I'll post something new (and more interesting) soon.
