Candy thief

15/365

This was one of those Max-is-being-too-quiet-I'd-better-go-check-on-him moments.  I come downstairs to see that he had pushed a kitchen chair up next to the kitchen island, climbed on top of it, pulled the candy jar next to him and was sneaking candy.

Instead of being mad, I told him he was cute and took a picture.  Good parenting right?

Morning Ritual

Every morning the same thing happens.  Max wakes up around 7:15-7:30.  I go get him out of his crib and lay him in bed with me.  Around 7:45 he decides he's done sleeping, sits up and asks for "i-mad".  I give it to him so maybe I can catch a few more minutes of sleep.  Even though I turn the volume way down or off, Max's shouting when he plays wakes up his sister who ends up sleeping on our floor 99% of the time.  They then play together for a few minutes, while I try to get a few more minutes sleep.


They are so cute and sweet for about 15 minutes. 

Then they start to fight, and the moment is over.

My new hobby

I've been learning how to sew. 

I started out because I fell in love with clothing brands like Matilda Jane and Persnickety.  I couldn't afford the price tag of those clothes though ($80 a dress), so I decided it was time for me to learn.  I started out by making dresses from tutorials I've found via pinterest online, and have learned a lot.  I'm still a way beginner, but I'm so surprised at how much I love to do this!  I never thought sewing would be a hobby of mine, but I guess it is!  I'm having so much fun making clothes for Kate.

So today's dress is a special one for me.  I was able to look at this dress by Persnickety
and know exactly how to make it!  I was so excited because this is exactly why I'm learning!  Here's my dress inspired by this look.



I'm pretty excited of how it turned out!  I love all the colors and the details of the buttons and rick rack. 

Kate loves it too :)
