"A baby will make love stronger, days shorter, nights longer, bankroll smaller, home happier, clothes shabbier, the past forgotten, and the future worth living for." -Anonymous I love baby showers for first-time moms. Everything is opened with wonder, smiles, and a great appreciation. I like to make diaper cakes since they are practical, useful, and decorative.

I've been shopping for a backpack for my daughter for school (yes she is only going to pre -school but she needs a cute backpack, right?). I saw some backpacks at boutiques and got the idea for the one you see below. It cost me about $25 to make. I'm so excited how it turned out! Here is a picture of some of the supplies you will need- a flat front backpack (a pocket one will be harder), furry fabric, batting, E600 glue, embellishments such as rhinestones (I got a "G" for my daughter's initial), needle and thread, clothes pins, and ribbon or whatever else you want to put on the front. Don't laugh at my backpack choice, it was the only one I could find that was flat-front!

Is it just me, or does it feel like the longer you live in a space, the smaller it seems to become? This is definitely the case for me. I thought I didn't need a dining room or office when I moved in, but recently had a change of heart when I came home to a bed covered in unsorted junk mail.Do you remember this post where I shared my Sunday ABC's Book ?
