Baby Journal

August 12th, 2015
Lights, Camera, Action

This is a journal I picked up from Walmart for about $3.50. I am using it to document my pregnancy journey. I’m not writing it for myself though, I’m writing it as if I’m speaking to my unborn child.

Each day or every few days, I write a simple little “note” to my baby. I date each entry, write each entry in a different color, and write the exact week & day that I am in the pregnancy.

I also left a little note in the front of the journal with the approximate conception date and expected arrival. After baby arrives I will write his/her birthday and full name on the back cover page.

I feel like there are many benefits to this on top of it being a neat idea.

1. Helps begin the bonding process with your baby. You could even read it out loud “to” your unborn…

Glue Mess Gets Duck Taped

August 8th, 2015
My own photo! 🙂

Courtesy of my cellphone and a new app I discovered, BeFunky App. Love it!

My hubby built me my very own Creative Cave in the basement. He also gave me his old table he used for building his big model airplanes. He had knocked over a bottle of strong glue onto the table last year. We tried lots of things to get it off but only accomplished most of it.

I pondered for months what I wanted to do to cover it up.

Duck Tape!

Throughout the year I had seen the square sheets in several stores and thought yes! We went to Menards tonight to get some other supplies for remodeling the basement and I caught a glimpse of these. I knew that was what I wanted to do. I bought only three sheets for now to see how it looked and what design I wanted to go with.

I like it! 😉

I will continue the pattern the rest of the way across the table. The sheets were 1.99 each. Cheap design idea plus no mess or smell. I like the bits of wood still in the areas I won’t cover up. I hope the corners will stay down if not I will find more duck tape! LOL 🙂

I like the feel of it too. It covered up a few splinter parts as well. It will be easier to clean than the wood since the wood is not stained or clear coated.

Sometimes one needs to ponder awhile. Me, it seems like it takes months! LOL

Hope you have a great weekend, I think we will! We are going to go to my hometown fair where our other home is at. 🙂

More work to do there. Sad thing is we have not made it back much this year so it is in major need of cleaning and work. 🙂 That is ok, we will get to have fun in the evening at the carnival. Home owned and operated by local volunteers. I hear they added two more rides! 🙂

I can not wait to have a funnel cake and a pork burger!!!!
