Strawberry Crush Pop Valentine for My Baby Crush!

Aren't these Crush Pop labels for Valentine's Day the cutest things ever?  Since I had the hubs taken care of  I knew I better get the little one's Valentine done.  She loves pop but I limit her intake.  Since I do that she ALWAYS wants it.  So what better present for her then pop.  I saw these over at 2 Clever blog last year and bookmarked them for this year.  These are easy peasy.

1. Click here and print your graphic on cardstock. (I did mine a little different than the ladies on 2 Clever.)
2. Mine weren't printing out right so I dropped the graphic in Microsoft word and scaled it to 2.5" and used my circle punch to cut it out.
3. Use hole punch to make your hole at the top
4. Thread white string or pink/red baker's twine from Martha Stewart line (found at Michael's) through hole and tie on your Strawberry crush. I wanted to use the baker's twine like the girls at 2 Clever but couldn't find any locally and didn't want to have to order it.
5. Since the individual bottles come in a six pack you will have more than plenty. That is if you have more than one crush.

Homemade Popcorn Valentine!

Printable Popcorn Valentine Tag

I found these vintage Valentine images here and thought this was too cute not to do.  My husband isn't a big sweet eater but loves popcorn.  Here's how I made his Valentine.

1. Open the popcorn Valentine up in Microsoft Word and added a blue beveled border.
2. Print out on cardstock
3. Cut around border.
4. Affix using double sided tape to regular bag of individually wrapped popcorn.
5. Last I wrapped it up using a left over ribbon from Christmas
6. Ta-Da, an easy homemade Valentine that he will think is corny (like everything else I do).

Update: 2014  This post was so popular I searched back through my files and found it and am now offering it to you as a printable!

Review: Baby On Board Apparel

Happy and Healthy Mom had me review the leah tunic from Baby on Board Apparel and let me tell you I am so happy they did.  This shirt is super flattering with its super comfy material that is form fitting but not to tight.  My only complaint is that it is a little long but I am only 5'2 and just today 6 months pregnant so I'm sure that I will be just fine with the length the further along I become.  Since it is so long it would be great to wear with leggings.  I also like that you can dress this shirt up or down.  I easily could wear it out to dinner with my husband or lounge around the house in it.

Click here to find a shirt all your own.  I saw some other great looking pieces I would love to have namely this one.  I do like having shirts that your not having to constantly to pull down every time you stand up or move around and these shirts I assure you will do that job.  Thanks BOBA for the wonderful shirt I will be able to wear throughout my pregnancy and while nursing.

UPDATE: I loved this shirt while I was pregnant and I wore it all the time.  It did shrink some or I got fatter (well both probably:).  But I continued to wear it while nursing, which happened to turn out to be two years. I know that is a little long for most but it worked for me and my baby. I loved this shirt while I nursed because it isn't one of those that had that strange material inside when you pull it down.  It just is a basic criss cross that is easily pulled down to nurse. Also, I'm one of those weird people that still wear some of my maternity clothes because honestly you can't tell it is maternity/nursing shirt.  Still so cute!

Homemade Casserole Dish Carrier!

I made this homemade casserole carrier for my niece for Christmas. Unfortunately, it didn't get done until yesterday. But thank goodness she didn't mind that it was late.  I really enjoyed making this and it is far from perfect but with my mom's help translating the pattern instructions found at Two Little Hooligans. I was finally able to finish.  I think that a experienced sewer would understand the instructions fine but since I've made like two things in my life (in high school Home Economics class) I needed help from the pro. 

My newlywed niece recently moved into her own house and I thought she would enjoy having this.  This would also be great to give at a Wedding Shower.  Materials cost me around $15.00 using coupons of course.
