So a few weeks ago, I decided I needed to spruce up the shelf above our washer and dryer. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I thought about adding another shelf, but decided it would be too high.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I thought about stringing a curtain type thing, but wasn't sure how that would work.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, I took 4 empty copy paper boxes from school and created these.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjC8dleWdGR6I8eTDRIgLQjjLKCuH-_jG0v7gAziUnRTOu8JcvivoFpcIfNg2GHm2WBROLCA-MsQCBCCex6bQtpVceYyfLd2_EkAOcifRqAGW96IZS53qMI1QBRUCbooe7gt3uTzdc8E4Q/s1600/IMG_2043.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjC8dleWdGR6I8eTDRIgLQjjLKCuH-_jG0v7gAziUnRTOu8JcvivoFpcIfNg2GHm2WBROLCA-MsQCBCCex6bQtpVceYyfLd2_EkAOcifRqAGW96IZS53qMI1QBRUCbooe7gt3uTzdc8E4Q/s1600/IMG_2043.JPG" height="240" width="320" /></a> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here's what I started with. I ran out of contact paper and of course, Walmart only had one roll of that pattern, so I ended up with a coordinating solid color. I also added some stick on little chalkboards to write what's inside.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQEcght-jFTOQ2bZMiG4fKTT6VwWqbq_BaEinrWrItaEZF1j4uNpV392HvvQAjoq06a98xt6zCbQc_LMkxTCwwBdSKFM2q8wqJ0sBpD90IFYHEz_KHfoeF30kQ4uGAQVb-aIv1Lk5a20k/s1600/IMG_2011.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQEcght-jFTOQ2bZMiG4fKTT6VwWqbq_BaEinrWrItaEZF1j4uNpV392HvvQAjoq06a98xt6zCbQc_LMkxTCwwBdSKFM2q8wqJ0sBpD90IFYHEz_KHfoeF30kQ4uGAQVb-aIv1Lk5a20k/s1600/IMG_2011.jpg" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1. I started on one long side and opened a little of the paper at a time.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_-Uf1yWwThotONsMBCtczkfZD2ONfb-lVbwfncP2-UUbp5xgWdGQm_6GzILgYF7m0iSwRx4lGLNdC2F-XgrJ27TlmIuCaAnqimdvXmmsd0cK97hreONukfos1ZzpR1MJcEppuL84SZaM/s1600/IMG_2012.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_-Uf1yWwThotONsMBCtczkfZD2ONfb-lVbwfncP2-UUbp5xgWdGQm_6GzILgYF7m0iSwRx4lGLNdC2F-XgrJ27TlmIuCaAnqimdvXmmsd0cK97hreONukfos1ZzpR1MJcEppuL84SZaM/s1600/IMG_2012.JPG" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2. Then, I rotated the box around.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyyen9BPbrV0kC7eSSuj13Cy966tR78LTiiHlM2vzl_Zwp4GzDC0DHprO6sR3wZ0Wfu4urFXc03a9qnFGmmOoAxt_fjQawOFPGdKpizzBkAOhg_EMnPAyjlYINEr2hdQJRb4EyEukHO_4/s1600/IMG_2013.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyyen9BPbrV0kC7eSSuj13Cy966tR78LTiiHlM2vzl_Zwp4GzDC0DHprO6sR3wZ0Wfu4urFXc03a9qnFGmmOoAxt_fjQawOFPGdKpizzBkAOhg_EMnPAyjlYINEr2hdQJRb4EyEukHO_4/s1600/IMG_2013.jpg" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3. Turned it again.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
4. And again.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidWgiHDMwO5ucULjRhrX6xK4x0leB6y5hFqAKbNqUWhyphenhyphen1bTjYEdKXcuhnbY0ZjCpSZGJ9WXp57XkUzRlAnBIeGsaL_9wr3_nHTG9bdcl_0QlSCYzuY4DtdCTptBOOde-mwGl-VxKEOylg/s1600/IMG_2015.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidWgiHDMwO5ucULjRhrX6xK4x0leB6y5hFqAKbNqUWhyphenhyphen1bTjYEdKXcuhnbY0ZjCpSZGJ9WXp57XkUzRlAnBIeGsaL_9wr3_nHTG9bdcl_0QlSCYzuY4DtdCTptBOOde-mwGl-VxKEOylg/s1600/IMG_2015.jpg" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
5. And again, until I reached the starting point.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgW6lestSI40UGv2zrDHdXdb6PHQgqavfPTJlJYYEUR9RVVTX7jubDamQ7V1TC6Xv_pZ1lbc-h9q6CailuX339qVKlN6ULOEwyeYTic4KXfyvd-LBgcrApyPVz5xQdnmqR8glW5fSM1dbQ/s1600/IMG_2017.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgW6lestSI40UGv2zrDHdXdb6PHQgqavfPTJlJYYEUR9RVVTX7jubDamQ7V1TC6Xv_pZ1lbc-h9q6CailuX339qVKlN6ULOEwyeYTic4KXfyvd-LBgcrApyPVz5xQdnmqR8glW5fSM1dbQ/s1600/IMG_2017.jpg" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
6. Then, I cut little slits in the corner of the contact paper and stuck it down inside. For the bottom, I just wrapped it like a present.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhttv9igZoqHUt-1WolC7ZigFaCkRlQXIu1X9dtt7sYhcuakI225VYLWP4m3RKUuVEAsab4BBnPbCdRK9X459bnZZTr5M3ataC0y06KxgIO0R0lfTm4FWvQmET6JZ13lw5URC8j3R0L0sY/s1600/IMG_2018.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhttv9igZoqHUt-1WolC7ZigFaCkRlQXIu1X9dtt7sYhcuakI225VYLWP4m3RKUuVEAsab4BBnPbCdRK9X459bnZZTr5M3ataC0y06KxgIO0R0lfTm4FWvQmET6JZ13lw5URC8j3R0L0sY/s1600/IMG_2018.jpg" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>

No, I am not celebrating my birthday again.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's my mama's birthday, well yesterday, but I did my weekend review yesterday, so I thought I'd recognize my mama today.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My mom's the best, she graciously helps babysit my daughter 3 days a week and that means the world to me. My mom is a retired teacher and I have always looked up to her in many, many ways. Hence, my becoming a teacher. She's hip and cool and has some young teacher friends that we all go out to eat with. It's so nice being able to consider my mom a best friend.<br />
<br />
Here are some of my favorite pics of my mama</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Sorry, I kinda took a week off there.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I didn't really have a lot to talk about or going on other than just normal life.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Also, I was being lazy, let's be honest.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well another weekend has come and gone.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thursday night, Little Miss decided to throw up for the first time. Poor baby had a fever. We kept an eye on her and she only got sick the one time. I went ahead and went to work on Friday and sent her to my mother-in-law's. Her fever got up to about 100 and she had a few rather nasty diapers. Poor thing.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After school, on Friday, we had some major snuggle time. My mom felt bad for Blair, so she came over with a present. Little Bits now has a purse. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
We were thinking about going to the high school football game, but since Little Miss wasn't feeling good and it was pretty hot out, we decided not to. Also, these lovely clouds rolled in and the game ended up being delayed 2 hours. Oh, Missouri. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Our high school team (my alma mater) has won 1,99903,03003 state championships (really, it's like 12, second most in history or something) Everyone goes to the games, so it's fun, we haven't been in a few years. I think Blair would like the band and just all the stuff to look at, but I know she wouldn't sit still long, so I just watched it online instead.</div>

Saturday morning, Little Miss seemed to feel better and her fever was down. We spent the day at home watching Matt's college alma mater Mizzou. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I met a friend at an ice cream parlor during Blair's nap to talk through a baby shower we are throwing next weekend. We had Chipotle for dinner and called it a night.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sunday, we headed off to church. Then, came home and Blair took a nice, long nap. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We also tried on some new clothes.</div>

Then, we went to Matt's parents so he could help tear up their deck. Blair took a nap while we were there, so I sneaked out to run a few errands child free. We ended the weekend with our Sunday night dinner with my family celebrating my mom's birthday.</div>

On Monday, my main squeeze turned the big 3-0.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've been 30 since April, so I am always happy when we are back to the same age.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
However, all of our major life events have happened (and been documented) when I was a year older than him. By major, I mean 2.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1. When we got married, I was 26 and he was 25. Right there in black and white forever on our marriage license.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2. When Blair was born, I was 29, he was 28. Again on her birth certificate.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will go down in history as the older woman.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We celebrated his birthday the weekend before with dinner at his parents, then dinner the next night with my family.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On his actual birthday, we went to work (thrilling), I made him his favorite Canadian bacon/pineapple pizza, and he had a softball game. It was at 8:15 and Blair was (supposed) to be asleep by then, so my mom came over, so I could go cheer him on. It was a fun night together.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't talk about him too much on here, but he really is the rock I lean on. (Do you lean on rocks? You know what I mean.) He keeps me together when sometimes I may fall apart. He makes me laugh, mostly at the silly things he says. I knew on our first date, that I wanted to marry him. I wasn't sure if he felt the same way, but I sure hoped he did. It was the first time that I had really felt like I met someone that I could be with 24/7. We can talk for hours (we used to on the phone when we were long-distance) or just hang out and be perfectly happy. Matt really respects me and everything I have to say and everything I do. I love that and truly feel like we are best friends....forever. I can't imagine life without him. He's the best daddy to Blair. She adores him and he can get the best giggles out of her. I'm so, so happy that he's mine....and that he was born 30 years ago.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I picked some pictures that just made me snicker or smile or remember...or just when I close my eyes and picture Matt, these are what I see.</div>

So I'm a terrible blogger and it's been a full week since I have updated.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I guess this will just be the blog of weekend recaps.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Just kidding, I'll get better, this was the first week of school, so I was busy getting back in the swing of things. Also, nothing really exciting happened. It's hard to blog when you just go to school and home to crash. Nobody wants to read that!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyway, this weekend we started with a Friday night dinner with my grandpa and my side of the family. We usually do this on Sunday, but switched it up this week. It was a nice way to finish the work week.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Saturday morning and afternoon I worked on a project to clean up and utilize the area above our washer and dryer. I covered copy paper boxes with contact paper. Here's the end result. Looks good and more storage too since they can stack.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Saturday night, I was my mother-in-law's date to the Art Feeds Gala. For those of you not from around here, Art Feeds is an art program that helps foster creativity to help students heal, especially after traumatic events. They had been working in Joplin before the tornado, but really took off in Joplin schools after that. They have since gone national and expanded to other communities. The founder, Meg, and her family are good friends with my in-laws. It was their goal to raise $50,000 during the night and ended up with $55,000!<br />
Everyone was supposed to wear primary colors. It was a lot of fun, here are some pictures from the night.<br />

Sunday morning, we headed off to church. Then, Blair took a monster nap. <br />

Once she finally woke up, we had lunch and headed off to meet my mom and dad at the pool. We came home and she was nice and tired for another long nap. We ended the weekend with Chinese and the Chiefs.<br />
Blair was ready to cheer them on....yes, she is wearing a sports bra. Yes, she is nuts.<br />

This has been another speedy week and then weekend. Sorry for the lack of posts once again. Little girl, work, and life are just keeping me pretty busy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's a recap of our weekend in pictures.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When I got in my car after school on Friday, it was 102. HOT!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I wasn't feeling amazing and really craving some good 'ole chicken noodle soup with saltines, so my sweet husband made it happen.</div>

I thought I'd start doing some book reviews once I actually finished some books. I'm finding it's harder and harder to find time to sit and read now, but oh how I love it when I do. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Recently, I read The Astronaut Wives Club: A True Story by Lily Koppel</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6NcSnLkifO_hk6B0mFzAivht9t3i9xuReD_SSuUFvJR1qDVM-PuN5c8bmkMc_ug0c015_xOBQhA2R14ImCt7Lzfxg81hymhqgQRr-ZUY1-rD2gtHor11-LDqFP4K9PE1ddfizHvuPMUQ/s1600/9781455503254_p0_v3_s260x420.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6NcSnLkifO_hk6B0mFzAivht9t3i9xuReD_SSuUFvJR1qDVM-PuN5c8bmkMc_ug0c015_xOBQhA2R14ImCt7Lzfxg81hymhqgQRr-ZUY1-rD2gtHor11-LDqFP4K9PE1ddfizHvuPMUQ/s1600/9781455503254_p0_v3_s260x420.JPG" height="320" width="212" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I may not have picked this book up on my own, but my Kindle is linked to my moms, so anytime she buys a book, it's on mine. So most of the time, I just pick something random on there, because most likely I'll like it. She's like my personal book shopper.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My dad has his private pilots license and I grew up flying in small planes with him. Therefore, all things aeronautic (including space) have always been a topic of conversation in my house. So I brought some background knowledge of some of these early astronauts, but not much. I don't read non-fiction much, but I really liked this book. It was easy to read and was just filled with juicy stories about their lives. It got a little hard to keep all the wives straight as it followed different generations, but it was still fun. I am always so intrigued by women in the 50's and 60's and what their lives must have been like. I think part of me thinks I should have been born in that generation and love all the old fashioned values but at the same time, it seems like a lot of work and doing it all in heels and dresses. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyway, this was an easy read and I enjoyed it. Supposedly, ABC is making it into a TV show with JoAnna Garcia Swisher from Reba, so that'll be fun to watch. It says it's a limited 10 episodes, so I'm not sure if it'll be around for long, but if you want to learn about the wives perspective of this part of our nation's history, check it out.</div>

We had another pretty low-key weekend, prepping up for school starting up full-force. Last week, I was just working in the library for my extended contract time. Monday and Tuesday we have meetings all day and Wednesday the kids come!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Friday night, we stayed home and I made fajitas. We hung out and had a grand ole time. The night commenced with me (finally) beating Matt at Sequence...twice! Boo-yah!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Saturday, we just had another quiet day at home. Matt mowed and Blair and I played. We shared some ravioli for lunch.</div>

It started to look pretty stormy, but we didn't get too much rain. I headed off to Wal-Mart, that's always fun. I had a nice evening bike ride. Definitely too hot to run. We were going to grill burgers for dinner, but this genius forgot to buy hamburger buns. PB&Js it was!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Sunday morning, Blair looked super cute for church. </div>

Well since I started back to work this week, we have fallen into our routine pretty easy, except I have only had to be there at 8:00 instead of the usual 7:30, so it's been a nice ease into things.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Our meetings start Monday, so all classroom teachers report Monday and kids start Wednesday. My contract is just longer, so I work a week before teachers and a week after them in the summer. I have just been getting everything set up at both schools after the cleaning crews came this summer. I have also been getting the new batch of kids in our circulation program and working on getting our books ready for our updated Accellerated Reader program.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Basically, just doin' my job.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Blair's been getting up about 7:00, so I have been able to feed her breakfast and spend some time together in the morning.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Monday night, my friend Nellie came over to take Blair's 1 year pictures. She sent me these teasers and I am obsessed. I can't wait to see the rest.</div>

Tuesday was election day and we were on pins and needles waiting to find out if our good friend, Joe Hensley, was going to be elected judge. He, and his family, had campaigned so hard and their hard work paid off! We had gone to parties, worn our t-shirts, drove around with a magnet on our car because we knew he was the best candidate. We are so excited for Joe!</div>

Wednesday night, was quiet and typical. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Nothing too exciting to report on, but that's kind of how I like it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I like the simple life.</div>

Saturday, we had a relaxing morning with a pancake breakfast at home.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I ran off to go to a co-worker's wedding in the afternoon.</div>

Blair practiced hugging.</div>

After church, Blair took a nice, long nap. We had some lunch, and then this mama escaped to the pool alone for a couple hours. AMEN to actually being able to lay out and read. Plus, I had the place to myself...pretty much, my mama did join me though.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is my last week of summer vacation.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
School is right around the corner.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But, actually, I am looking forward to it. Summer is great, but I think most teachers agree with me when I say we have the type of personality that can't sit still for too long. I love being able to start a fresh, new year. Not many jobs can you finish up, then get ready for a new year with a refreshed, motivated attitude. I miss the kids too and the people I work with. I am anxious to get started with some new ideas that have been stewing in my mind all summer.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will miss this sweet face. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is an absolute blessing to get to spend every day this summer with her. She's my best friend in the whole, wide world. I love being there when she makes new discoveries and I love watching her play with the excitement only a child can have. I miss her more than words can express while I am at school, but it makes it a lot easier knowing that she is in such capable hands and with two other people who love her as dearly as I do. (my mom and mother-in-law) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sometimes I feel guilty that I am not a stay-at-home mom. It makes me wonder if moms who do stay home, think I don't love my baby as much because I don't stay home. Disclaimer: I don't really think stay-at-home-moms are really thinking that AT ALL, but that's what mommy guilt will do for you. There are many days that I wish I was home with my little one right next to you all, but let's be honest, there are also days when having some time to escape to work, doesn't sound too bad either. Staying at home, is work! Hard, hard work! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I go back in forth with this argument in my head all the time. I do find comfort in the fact that my mama was a teacher most my life and I think I turned out just fine.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I heard once that mamas who teach, are choosing to spend their days with someone else's children, because their love for all children runs deep. My little baby will be in school soon, whether I want to admit it or not. When that happens, I want her to be loved by those teachers, men and women who have chosen to be in the classroom and love someone else's kids too. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So here I am, pouring my heart out and being pulled in two directions. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Two purposes.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For me, I really think my job gives me a sense of purpose, so does being a mommy, but my job is just my OTHER purpose. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think I can have two. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thanks for reading if you made it this far. I know I don't usually have such meaningful posts, but I know my audience of readers is small and I really want Blair to look back at this some day and know what my thoughts were.</div>

Today I am sharing one of my favorite things that is under $10. My mother-in-law picked this up for Blair and we tested it out at Matt's softball games last night (even though it was unseasonably cold).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's $5.97 at <a href="http://www.walmart.com/ip/Dreambaby-Stroller-Fan/21105474" target="_blank">Walmart </a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also found it on Amazon and Toys R Us, but it was $11.99.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It put out a lot of air and it is soft, so when she sticks her fingers in there, it doesn't hurt. Brilliant!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I clipped it onto her canopy of her stroller. </div>

These babe's are all within 9 days of each other. So fun!</div>
<br />
We ended our busy Friday with a delicious dinner of grilled burgers at grandma's.<br />
<br />
Saturday morning, we played at home until our nap time. Then, we headed back over to grandma's to get a little more play time in with Olivia and to have lunch.<br />
<br />
We went home and had a dance party.<br />

Matt's parents took Blair after church, so Matt and I could head to help my parents move my Grandpa's stuff out of his current assisted living place in Kansas. We moved him closer to us, so it'll be much more convenient. I went and picked up Blair, we played, and ended our evening with a Mexican dinner out with my parents, aunt, and uncle. <br />
<br />
Such a fun weekend and so glad I got to love on that sweet niece of mine.<br />

This week I thought I would just share my favorite pictures of the week, because that's what I want to look back and remember most and most of you like keeping up with little Miss Blair the most anyway.<br />
<br />
1. Matt's parents came back from a Rhine River cruise this week. They spoiled Blair and brought her these fun gifts from Amsterdam. Check out her cutesy wooden shoes.<br />

A couple weeks ago, my friend, Andrea, and I decided to test out our artistic talents.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

It costs $35 and that includes the canvas and all the supplies. You can also bring your own drinks, including drinks of the adult variety.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There is a teacher and he kind of guides you along, but allows you to have your own creativity with colors and things, so not everyone's looks exactly the same. The paintings are on their website calendar, so you can pick to go on a day that you like the painting.</div>

Our weekend started with a trip to Matt's choice for dinner Friday night...Hu Hot.<br />
This was my creation.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Blair enjoyed people watching. She's a nosy little thing.<br />

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We came home, played for a bit, and Blair went to bed. She's getting sooooo close to walking!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then, I went on a run outside, on a full belly. Probably not the best idea. I'm doing Couch to 5K, and I am to the part where there are no walking intervals. I NEED MY WALKING INTERVALS!<br />
<br />
I came home, took a way-to-long shower, and plopped in front of the TV.<br />
<br />
Someone woke up at 10:00 with a case of the giggles. It was totally random, but hilarious.<br />

Saturday morning we were up bright an early.<br />
<br />
We just had a quiet morning and headed off to Matt's second cousin Eve's 8th birthday party in the afternoon.<br />
<br />
In the evening, we headed to my parents so Matt could help move some of their bedroom furniture, so they could finish painting. We were rewarded with steaks on the grill. Not too bad! Especially considering I didn't help at all.<br />

Matt 3, Ashley 0<br />
Seriously...<br />
<br />
Sunday morning, we headed off to church. We get done around 10:30 and Blair usually naps around 10:00, so I always have to sit in the backseat and pinch her to stay awake until we get home...no really, but I do keep her awake. If she falls asleep in the car for 5 minutes, she thinks that counts as her nap. No ma'am, it doesn't.<br />
<br />

"Please Mommy, let me close my eyes!"<br />
<br />
Matt picked us up some lunch, then I headed to the gym to do my run. Still no walking intervals, but I made it the whole 25 minutes without stopping. That's big for me. I'm a runner-hater, trying to learn to like it.<br />
<br />
I made <a href="http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2013/08/philly-cheesesteaks/" target="_blank">The Pioneer Woman's Philly Cheesesteaks</a> for dinner and they were yummo!<br />

<br />
The rest of the night was spent chilling and enjoying my crazy little gal.<br />

Today I thought we'd do a little crafting.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I made this fringe banner for Blair's birthday out of a vinyl tablecloth.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJmfCPELp4oGZdYHMT9a7NUddlddmyCHZl1SoNFahdS47vZ3l5hLaiW2YCG-4bjliDVHXBAy83-hCdN3uUnteBr1BvLMccj1IyYJfR7KF5MnyUUciWxjO1JwArACyPpYEYvLpCR1hGg6Y/s1600/DSC01588.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJmfCPELp4oGZdYHMT9a7NUddlddmyCHZl1SoNFahdS47vZ3l5hLaiW2YCG-4bjliDVHXBAy83-hCdN3uUnteBr1BvLMccj1IyYJfR7KF5MnyUUciWxjO1JwArACyPpYEYvLpCR1hGg6Y/s1600/DSC01588.JPG" height="300" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are the supplies you need. I used two tablecloths to make 4 rows of fringe. One tablecloth makes 2 rows. Don't you love my Christmas wrapping paper scissors.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTLXDXr6G2Ze2ugB2PRDCbvAjFgw7NDLgHsk9E70LQflt-AVA0U3Di4p2Le4lFg1PwsP9VCTu6BGy-gR5JhRCgqmo3O7eZz_qa0XVslOpc3heOMvswxsukMq_OhGG21p1Je4AQV3wylII/s1600/DSC01531.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTLXDXr6G2Ze2ugB2PRDCbvAjFgw7NDLgHsk9E70LQflt-AVA0U3Di4p2Le4lFg1PwsP9VCTu6BGy-gR5JhRCgqmo3O7eZz_qa0XVslOpc3heOMvswxsukMq_OhGG21p1Je4AQV3wylII/s1600/DSC01531.JPG" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's the size. I think I got this at Wal-Mart for like $1.99.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Open it up and cut along the center seam. My scissors are showing the center.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It'll look like this, minus the cat probably.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Fold each half in half (hot dog style). There was already a seam to follow.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then fold in half again.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
And again.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Put the seam at the top and cut from the open end to about an inch or two to the top.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It'll look like this when you're finished.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then, just unfold it and you'll have a row of fringe. There will be a seam across the top, so it's 2 layers of fringe. Each table cloth makes 2 rows.</div>

This recipe is from Taste of Home's 5 Ingredient Cookbook.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(I was making 2, one to freeze and one to cook. That's why mine is separated into two square dishes.)</div>

Today is my hubby and I's 4 year anniversary. Last year, we had just had a baby, so the day kind of came and went, but this year we are going to go out for a nice dinner. I'm so in love with that boy. He's truly my best friend. I knew from our first date that I was going to marry him. He just makes me feel like I've found my other piece. I'm not whole without him. We have the best talks and have a way of really understanding each other. Marriage is hard work, but I'm glad I have him to be my partner through it. </div>

I like this one because it's my dad giving me away. Also, it was the first time Matt saw me on our wedding day. Like the first time, for real, in Catholic weddings the groom doesn't watch you walk down the aisle, they turn around at the last minute. I was not aware of that fact and was confused the whole time I was coming down the aisle, but I like that I have a picture of the exact moment.</div>

This little table was an afterthought, that's why it's not painted. I realized when I was nursing, I needed somewhere to set stuff. My in-laws had this in their basement. It works great for some extra storage. Now that I'm done nursing, I may get rid of it and replace the chair with a reading nook.</div>

Saturday morning, Blair woke up at this time:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Sleeping in has never felt so good!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We ate breakfast.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We went on a wagon ride and looked at the baby birds in our tree.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Blair napped, then we we had lunch, and went on some errands with dad.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Lately, she has been fighting naps a little more. I think she's in that stage where sometimes she needs 2 and sometimes she doesn't. So she fought her afternoon nap until 4 and ended up sleeping until 5:15. She had dinner and Matt went to the gym. He brought home sushi for me, so that was delightful!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She took a bath and she was in bed by 7:30.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is her trademark sleeping position.</div>

Matt and I ended the night with a competitive game of Sequence. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So far, he's kicking my butt at 2 games to 0.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

A couple weekend's ago, we celebrated Blair's big FIRST BIRTHDAY!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
I first came up with the idea to use a Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star theme awhile ago and started working on decorations ever since. Not gonna lie, the house may have been decorated a good 3 weeks in advance. I'm not one for procrastination!<br />
<br />
Here's the invitation that I got from <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/AddiJaiStudio" target="_blank">Addie Jai Studio</a> on Etsy.<br />

We had such a great time at her party. It was mainly family, so it was low key and low stress. She had a great time and seemed to enjoy the attention. Imagine that. I can't believe how fast a year has gone and what an amazing little girl she is!</div>
