We are GODPARENTS

Today was the big day for Jeff and I as Godparents - Camber's Baptism 

A couple of months ago Doug and Lindsay asked us if we would be Camber's Godparnets by giving us the Foot Book by Dr. Seuss with Camber's footprints in it.  Of course we were more than honored and said YES!  We had to land of the perfect gift to our godson so we decided to do a little DIY

We loved how our little onesies turned out! And so did Camber 

We can't wait for the years to come as we watch Camber grow up! xoxo your Godparents

25 things while 25

1. Start a blog
2. Take a spontaneous trip - I am a planner an organizer, so to take a random trip would be out of my comfort zone! 
3. Buy more fresh flowers- I love the life they can bring to a home! I don't know why I don't do this more often cause I love them. 
4. Start a work out routine- I have started one now it is sticking with it!!
5. Take a cooking class- Since my husband does all the cooking it would be nice to know how to make something :) 
6. Give up soda - it was hard to do but I am about three weeks in and the headaches are finally going away. 
7. Visit a new City
8. Have more me time- Time where I just get away from it all and do something that makes me happy 
9. Host a dinner party- I love to throw a good party but have never hosted a formal dinner party! 
10. Read more 
11. Have more mother daughter dates- my mom is truly my best friend, I want to soak up more time with her!
12. Do something every day that scares me- It can be something small or something huge, just something that forces me out of my comfort zone. 
13. Get my Grandma Carol, or as we call her Farmor, to write down some family history with me

17. Have a crafting party- host an event that gathers people together to do a certain craft 
18. Start ever day with a fresh and positive outlook- My life motto, "Any day above ground is a good day," My Uncle Andy would say that every time you asked him how he was. I strive to life every day like it is my last for him. 
19. Make it a point to have lunch with someone at least once a week- good way to expand my network
20. Put together a portfolio of my work so far

DIY heart pillow covers

A fun way to spice up the bedroom is with some fun pillow covers.
This is a DIY that is quick, easy, and cheap! Cant beat that.

Supplies:
2 pillow cases
Some fabric scraps
Heat and bond

Total cost of the project around $10

First decide what you would like on the pillow covers. Since it is close to Valentine's Day I decided to make some hearts on my covers.

Step one:
Iron on the heat and bond to the fabric scraps you will end up using. This saves you from trying to iron it on after you have cut out the letters and shapes. Only cover as much as you think you will need.

Step two:
Then cut the fabric pieces out to desired shape and iron on to the pillow case.

Super simple and a cute!
