Ramblings of a Christian Mom
I found this recipe for air drying modeling clay at Growing A Jeweled Rose and had to share. It turned out so well! You Need: 2 cups baking soda 1 cup cornstarch 1-1/2 cups water You Do: Whisk together your ingredients in a medium saucepan. Stir almost constantly over med-high heat. After several minutes, it will bubble and [More...]
I have a bad habit of starting too many things at once and then struggling to finish any of them in a good time. Here's what I have in the works right now! As some of you guessed on my Facebook page, I'm making a crocheted giraffe. The pattern is for a striped one, but that many yarn ends to weave in isn't my thing. I'm using Knit Picks Wool of [More...]
I love cushy baby blankets. They're soft, warm, just overall cozy. They make great gifts and they work up quickly.

I don't trust my toddler to walk nicely and stay close when we go for a walk, so if I need to walk with all 4 kids Josiah goes in the stroller and Gabriel is in a carrier. With our cold winters here, that makes things tricky. Gabriel is big enough now that even the huge coat I wore at the end of my pregnancy isn't large enough to go around both of [More...]
A stretchy wrap, such as a Moby, is a great way to get used to learning how to manage the huge amount of fabric in a wrap. With a stretchy wrap, you can easily wrap yourself before putting the baby in; with most non-stretchy wrap carries, you need to wrap the baby in with you. As with all the other types of carriers, there are pros and cons with [More...]
