WRAPS FOR SALE!

Yesterday I spent the day at a local craft fair. I was only able to sell about half the baby wraps/carriers I've made, so if you would like to buy one, let me know. I will be doing sending out a shipment December 5th so you can have it before Christmas.

There are 3 different types of wraps.
1. Simple, long piece of fabric. Solid color (Available in Dark Pink, Black and brown) ($30)
2. Penelled, with bordered ends and binky pouch ($40)
3. Panelled with bordered ends, Binky pouch, with matching carrying case bag. ($50) (photos Below)
Organic Wraps available for additional $15 on each.
All wraps come with instructions and information on "Baby Wearing". $7 shipping.

Below are the wraps I have already made.

The blue one is a very soft material. The right pink one is a very light cordoroy material.

All three of these are a deep red material wrap.

P.S. look at mobywrap.com for more information on how to wear them and more information on this type of baby carrier. (such information will be included in your shipment)

My Crafts!

I don't do well with being housebound, and since Brooklyn has had a cough for nearly a month and a half (just sick enough to not want to put her into the YMCA daycare), I have not had my hour or two of exercise time in my days and with the colder weather, we haven't been outside as much as we usually are. So, I started a few new hobbies!

Amy Butler is officially my favorite pattern-go-to-girl. I love her patterns and now have 3 of her purse patterns and her book. This is the best purse I've ever had though! Tons of space and a pocket for everything! I'm working on making a few more for my sisters...

I experimented making Tutus - they seem so easy to make and are expensive to buy, so I made 3. Still don't know what to do with them. Hopefully Brooklyn will want to wear it one day. For now she has no interest. I also came up with a few ways to snazzy up my Baby wraps. I made cute bags for them to go in and added little "Binky Holders" on the front panel.
November 14 is the craft fair where I hope to make enough to pay for my trip to Canada on Monday!

Our Relief Society did some great projects this year . Here are a few of the things we made. I taught how to make those Tile Picture Boards. They still have mine as a demo, but here is an example of what I'm talking about (Bottom right).



I do actually teach and play with Brooklyn too - honest (;
In fact, she is potty trained! It took a few months to get it down completely and I still put her in diapers at nap and bedtime, but we are diaper free during the day!
Hallelujah!

Our Fall Activities

Here's a litte catch up blog to make up for my slacking in the past few weeks!

Trey had his 26th Birthday! Officially close to 30(; Also the torturous 2.5 months of Trey being 3 years younger than me officially ended, so definitely a time to celebrate! Brooklyn liked the balloons and candles!

We got out Apple picking again! Love this time of year. Lots of great fresh food at the farmers markets and yummy foods like Apples and Pumpkins to pick. I baught a bushel (apx 40 lbs) of apples so I've got to make more Apple pies!

We went up to Michigan with one of my friends and her adorable little girl. Brooklyn had fun practicing being a big sister (Though her 1 year old friend weighs more than her!)

Brooklyn is All about Animals right now. She exclaimes "Yang!" and "Zhu!" as often as Lamb and Pig - which makes me feel like at least she has learned some Chinese for all we've done.

At Home, Brooklyn finds many things to entertain her...

Wearing Mommy and Daddy's Shoes,

Finding her special places to pass her time,

Being a goof,

Doing crafts

And just being so darn cute she makes us want to squeal!

Trick or Treat! From our Little Stinker...

I LOVE Halloween! Especially now that I have a child! Seeing Brooklyn's face when she realized that all she had to do was hold out her bag and people would put candy in her bag was the funniest thing I've seen in a while! Absolute Joy! Also, just taking her around and letting people see how cute she is was a total thrill (;


We bundled up for the big night. She was pretty excited since she had learned what it was all about the night before at the Trunk or Treat/Chili Cookoff at the church last night.

For the Ward Activity, we did a bit of a theme - Trey was Bambi, I was Thumper and Brooklyn was the Skunk, 'Flower'. Unfortunately, I forgot my camera - so frustrating because the only reason I go to so much work for costumes like that is so I can Blog! Actually, the only reason I do anything is to blog (; j/k My friend got a few photos of the kids though...

Brooklyn and her buddies at church got together to share.

Here's a preview of one of the dozens of crafty things I've been doing lately...

Short Update

Hi, I want to thank everyone for your offers of support and comments. I have learned a lot and continue to work at making the best birth choices for the baby and myself. I have found a group here for parents that want to make Gentle Birth and Parenting Choices and have found a great Dula that I hope to use. I have also found a Doctor that used to be an at home mid-wife! It took a long time to put all the pieces together, but I think it will all work out!
I am doing Hypnobabies again and feel really good about the upcoming birth!

Trey's Website

Hey guys tell your husbands to check out Trey's new sports website that he and his friends put together. I think it's really funny but I don't understand half of it!

Murder Mystery

We got a few friends together the other night for a delightful evening How to Host a Murder Party. It was the Chicago Caper one, so it was set in a Speakeasy in Chicago in the late 20s!

Perfect, considering our current location!

Everyone did a great job dressing up as their parts and the guys really got into their parts which made it hilarious!

Trey guessed the murderer (;
