Playtime at the Mall

We had a very trying morning (no nap!) so I had to get out of the house last Friday! This no nap thing is really stressin' mama out Miss Adeline!

Anywho...she fell asleep in the car (which I was hoping for!!) so then after she woke up we went in the mall to play. They have a great play area that is closed in on all sides. I usually go earlier in the day, so I was very disappointed to see so many older kids there. Of course the parents were not paying a bit of attention to the their children - just their phones! Adeline got knocked around a couple times - but she was just fine. I had to stand over her the whole time to make sure the big kids didn't step on her! Grrr.

I've posted before about this play area - check it out here.

Zebra Wall Decor for Nursery #2

I decided that Adeline's 2nd bedroom at Maw-Maw and Paw-Paws deserved some custom wall decor! So I whipped out my Silhouette SD (I sooo need to upgrade to a Cameo) and got to work. I had already bought some canvas' (11x14) and washi tape at AC Moore a week or so ago, so I was all ready!

First I painted my canvas with some Hot Pink paint I already had on hand. I just did 1 quick coat of paint, I didn't really want total and complete coverage. It's mostly covered but you can see white/light pink in some areas.

Next I played around on the Silhouette and found a font and size I liked. I really like the font, just wish I had cut it thicker. I also need to get a better grade vinyl, I used the basic you get from Silhouette - and it would NOT stick to the canvas completely. I also purchased the zebra hearts through the online shop - I though it added a little something.

Next I played with the Washi Tape. This is my first craft project using Washi! It's pretty cool, just didn't stick to the canvas either really. Oh well, live and learn! I also put it around the edge of the canvas.

I hadn't planned on using Mod Podge, but since the vinyl and washi tape weren't really sticking good enough for me I decided it was a must for this project. I was pretty much out of the Mod Podge I had so I went and bought some more (yes I know you can make your own, I don't...). I decided to get the Matte finish for this project. I've used Glossy before and it's just too much.

Here is the finished project!

Happy Valentines Day!

This year was a low-key Valentines Day for us. I had big dreams of doing hand print hearts and such. Well today ended up being a mostly no nap day, so no fun for anyone! We went to a play date and Adeline had lots of fun playing with her friends and wasn't so interested in the V-day crafting, and the one card we "made" for Daddy got left behind. Oh well! I'm hoping that one of the grandmas will watch Adeline in the next week so Alan and I can go out, just the two of us! We haven't done that since before Adeline was born!

Here's a few pictures of Adeline and all her cuteness. Just keep in mind these were at 4pm after only napping 30 minutes the whole day and she was snacking.

Wordless Wednesday - MY LOVES

Lazy Recovery Monday

Yesterday I was sick sick sick! I literally laid in bed all day. I am so thankful to have an amazing hubby that I could depend on to take care of Miss Adeline. He took her up to his parents house for awhile so they could spend some time with her. So today I am a lot better, and Adeline is being extra clingy. She's been clingy since she was sick Thursday night (same thing I had yesterday...), but today was crazy. She wouldn't play in the floor at all, even when I sat and tried to engage her. She just wanted to sit on my lap or on the couch next to me. Then of course the hubby got sick this afternoon! So the sickness has made its way all through this house, and it can go away!!!
