Projects

I've gotten so much done lately! I painted this white board yellow but I'll show that once it's complete. For the blue one, I painted clouds and glued the words "wish upon a star" to go along with my fairy tale themed wedding. It's going to be the backdrop for the escort cards (which will be made out of the yellow board).

 Sorry it's upside down =/


   


 I also made a sash to wear with my wedding dress, I'm excited about how it turned out!



















The banner is almost complete! I just need to add the letters. I folded paper like a fan and then glue the ends together to make the backdrop for the letters stand out. I have some pretty pink and green ribbon to tie it all together too! 





And these are the completed invites! (Which I absolutely love!)

I'm sure there will be lots more projects to post soon since I have been a busy little bee whenever I find time =)

Learning New Things

My baby girls have learned so many new things lately! It's such a joy to see them explore and realize all the potential their little bodies have. They have begun to give hugs and kisses when you ask them to, stand without holding on for short periods of time, drink from a regular cup, and oh boy pout and manipulate like no other! The twins have also moved on from pureed food and have decided they only want "big people food." And I'm proud to know that it's mostly fresh fruits and vegetables, no fried or sweet foods for them yet! Being available to make home cooked meals for not only them but my family, makes me feel very happy and extremely privileged. From the beginning I decided that if this twin thing was going to work, I needed to change a lot in my life. I needed to become more organized, be more clean, more healthy- more of a role model. So call me crazy but I choose to take the extra time to wash their clothes separately from mine as well as their dishes and whatever else they have. So I've decided I need to work on my eating habits as well- I mean how fair is it that I'm telling them "no french fries for you" as I'm scarfing them down myself? The more I think about it, there are too many things to count that I am being hypocritical about. I want to give them the best life possible, and that includes the best possible me. So I'm working on that!
