17 Months Old

So in love with this 17 month old

Confessions

1.  I hate potty training
2. I yell at my kids ..sometimes ,,, ok alot
3. I try to act all healthy, but ate an entire bag of M&M's the other night at the movies
4. I gave you one last try cosco, but now I'm done. I thought you are supposed to be SUCH a $$$ saver, so why did my receipt say $470.  I didn't even get everything I needed.

ok, I feel better. anyone else??

Iced Coffee

I haven't tried this yet, but will let you know how it turns out. Since having my 2 daughter I have become a little too dependent on my large iced coffee in the morning. This is a recipe for a perfect ICED COFFEE you know the cup that doesn't taste like old tires..

It’s super-easy to make in the French press, but you could also use a glass jar and sieve.

1. The night before, start with 1/4 cup of coarse ground coffee, and add 1 cup of cold filtered water.
2. The next morning add 1 more cup of water.
3. Strain and pour into a chilled glass over ice (makes two glasses)

Fabric Patterns

One of my things on my to-do list for 2010 is learning to sew. I would love to make some new pillows, curtains, dresses for my girls and maybe some handmade gifts. There are so many fun fabrics out there. Here are a few places to find them online:

Flexa Studio, Very Cool

Check out Flexa Studio. What a great idea for additional space. A home office, playroom,  or maybe a guest house. I love it!!! Now, if I could only fit this in our tiny backyard.
