Babies, Babies, Babies

Posted on November 30, 2011 by Momzoo

The month of October was a big baby month for my family, both my sisters gave birth to bouncing baby boys! With their births it made 15 grandchildren for my parents.

We are so blessed.

The three newest little ones, all born within three months, wearing winter hats made by Grandma.

Over the Thanksgiving weekend we, along with most of my family (missing one brother and his wife) took a trip to South Dakota to see my sister, her family and the newest little one. We had such a good time, there were 25 people at my sisters house, it was loud and messy (there were 15 kids there!) and so much fun. We enjoyed being able to spend time with family that lives so far away.

The youngest of the bunch, in his blessing outfit, we were so happy that we were able to be there for his blessing.

For The Love of Pink

Posted on October 5, 2011 by Momzoo

I purchased this on line at "Sew Mama Sew" and when it came it was packaged with this pretty little fabric bow. I love little touches like this.

Bestill my ever lovin’ pink heart.

I couldn't help but fall in love with the rosebud pattern, and the stripes won my heart too.

I love pink (good thing I have 5 daughters) and I love shabby chic.
So when I saw this pink shabby chic cotton print fabric on sale I had to purchase.
It is destine to become a baby quilt, with a soft pink minky back.

"My colors are blush and bashful"...."Her colors are pink, and pink!" (Can you name the movie?)

I think it will look lovely in the white on white nursery….

Cloth Diapers, How To

Posted on August 26, 2011 by Momzoo

Like I had said before , cloth diapering is very simple and very different from what our grandmothers use to do. While I am no where near an expert when it comes to cloth diapering, having only done it for the last 6 weeks (and loving it) I thought I would share how I cloth diaper and the type of diaper I use.

I use what is called a contour diaper. It is a cotton flannel diaper with a separate diaper cover that is used for several diaperings. The picture above is the diaper cover, it is lined with plastic to keep the wet in and everything else dry. I have found that these covers hold in the wet just as well, if not better than disposable diapers. The only big blow outs I have had, so far, with the baby where when I had her in disposable diapers while out and about.
