Please Don't Feed the Mom

Helping you filter through all that you want to, but don't have time to so you can not feel guilty about it. You know that feeling you get when you hear there's something new on the scene that will benefit your child and without it they'll fail life miserably and end up just like you? Never fear - you're not the first Mom to need to go on a parenting "diet." Who has time to read all the experts or blogs? Certainly not me, so don't expect a post every day, but I'll try =)

Valentine's Craft - not to be done while nursing..

Hit Michael's this weekend with Curly in tow. I am new to the crafting world so I figured we'd start small.
Felt.
Fuzzy.
Fun.
Frugal.
Can't be f*cked up.

AlphaMom had this adorable and EASY Valentine's Tic-Tac-Toe idea so Curly and I spent an hour (total) on it.

Notes to anyone trying to replicate this experiment:

Wear gloves. Hot glue with a preschooler nearby can be deadly.
Pumping while hot gluing can also be humorous. Especially after you've tried nursing the 6-month-old and he attempted to chew on the hot glue gun cord.
Balancing the craft tray, the 6-month-old and the glue gun cord along with the excitement of the preschooler...not too easy. Makes the craft not so fun.
Preschooler might not want dinner after ingesting so much of the rice while helping you pour it into the "bean bags."
