2 Years and 8 Months

I had originally wanted to take pics of Annabelle for 6 months... didn't happen.  I wanted to make a crown for her and matching skirt for Vi and that ended up taking months to finish.  5 minutes here, 15 there.  FOREVER.  So the pics turned into 8 month pics.  And I never took any pics for V when she turned 2 so this counts for that as well. 

I wanted to buy a yard of fabric and do a backdrop and set up a cute little display and pretend to be a professional but once again, that would take too much time.  So we used the good 'ol backyard again.

Pinterest Tested

I've been trying to actually "try" things out I see on Pinterest.  I spend more time "pinning" then I do actually trying stuff.  Here are a few things I recently tried.. and all of them were fab. You should be able to click each picture to take you to the pin.  Then you click that picture and it takes you to the blog or website where they explain.

BEST STAIN REMOVER EVER... Seriously, this works for any and every stain.  Vi stains all her clothes so I spend a good couple hours a week trying to fix them.  I do love a good Oxy Clean soak, but for the stains that stay put after that.. try this..

BEST WATER DETOX EVER... I've done this a ton of times and I can't tell you how good it makes me feel.  It's basically drinking tons of water for a week, which is something we should do all the time anyhow.  It's crazy the difference drinking water makes.

CLEAN YOUR SILVER.. this is the only one I didn't love.  It took most the tarnish off but I think a regular silver cleaner works better...

There's probably more I've tried and can't think of at the moment, but hopefully this helps ya! Hopefully soon I'll share the gluten free, low to no carb meals I've done with Pinterest recipes.  Oh and tonight I plan on dropping a chunk of magic eraser in my toilet.  Overnight it supposedly takes away the ring! Who knew?

Peanut Butter

I've posted before about how Vi loves to eat peanut butter and celery or carrots with her dad everyday. 

This would be an awesome ad for Adam's PB don't ya think? (and yes I do brush her hair every once in awhile..)
