Play-doh









Today is the first day that I've gotten out the play-doh for Gretchen. She loves it! Much, more than I thought she would. She has been in her high chair for at least 30 minutes playing with the play-doh. I have tried to put it away, but after throwing a little tantrum, I give it right back. Yes, I'm rewarding her bad behavior, but it's keeping her entertained so I'm giving in.

Me's Zoo

Gretchen and I went with our friends Melissa and Justin to Me's zoo on Saturday. Me's zoo is a private zoo in Parker City, In. Unfortunately, it will be closing in September b/c the cost to run the zoo is too much. Thankfully, we were able to get out there before it closes, but we will miss not having such a fun place to go visit.

They weren't too sure about the bears, especially once they started to fight.

Football!
















We have finished our football orders, that we have had, so I wanted to share pictures. I love how everything turned out! Most importantly, I hope our customers love how it all turned out.

Resins

Resins can be added to the center of your hair bow. They add a unique look that sets your bow apart from other bows. Resins are added to match ribbon and outfits. You can choose a variety of resins to set on top of your bow to show off your little one's personality and unique style!

Resins on custom ordered bows are $1.50 for 1 bow and $2.00 for a set of pigtail bows.

I can order a variety of resins to add to your bow.

Potty time!


I bought Gretchen a potty today! We are slowly going to introduce potty training; she's 18 months.


During our vacation, I noticed a few "readiness" signs. When she was wearing her swim diaper, and pottied on herself, she absolutely hated it (and started crying). She's also starting to answer yes/no when I ask her if her diaper is wet or poopy.


I plan on putting her on the potty when she first wakes up, before/after nap, and before her bath and bedtime.


DJ put it together tonight, and we let her sit on it before dinner (with all of her clothes on), so she could figure out that it's just like a chair. She did well sitting on it, but also wanted to stand on it. Before her bath, we let her sit on it and sang songs, so she could get use to sitting on it for a while. She was very proud of herself when she was finished sitting. (no, she didn't go potty). I had to change her diaper before bedtime, so we set her on the potty again. We sang a few songs, and after waiting a bit, we decided to get her up. Unfortunately, as soon as she stood up, she fell down. I thought that it was because the floor was still wet from her bath, but she peed on herself and slipped and fell! So, she did go, just not while she was sitting on the potty.


I can't believe how big she is getting! This is a huge step for both of us.

Football..... already?

Wow! Football season is right around the corner; time has flown by! For those of you that know me personally, you know that my husband is a video coordinator for a college football team. So, football is our life. I love going to games in the fall, I love tailgating, the food..... all of it! It just excites me!

Last year, I created a football outfit and hair bow for Gretchen, but this year I want to go a step further! I want to create football and team inspired tutu's, hair bows, and pillowcase dresses!

GG and I are working together to create unique team-inspired pillow case dresses. Our 1st dress will be made of a corduroy. Gretchen's will be red with black ribbon and either "Cardinals" or "Ball State" monogrammed on the front. Her 2nd dress will be made of red and black fabric(s). And, I might even make her a red, black, and/or white tutu to wear!

So, let us work with you to create an outfit for your little fan! There are so many possibilities for a custom tutu or dress! You can also purchase coordinating burp cloths, paci holders, or bib holders! Make it a gift set and receive a discount!
