Lets Make a Mess
My mom just started making these oven omelets and they are delicious. You can of course keep the oven idea and put anything you want into the omelet but here is what we made. Preheat the oven to 375 First chop and saute some onions in olive oil. Add some garlic and fresh spinach. Use an oven-safe pan (about 8 inches is ideal). Beat 2 or 3 eggs per omelet with
I think that Benjamin would live in this sink if we let him.
I made these paintings for my brother a few years ago. You could get a large canvas and put a quote or part of a song on it, but I liked to split them up into three different canvases. Since we both LOVE the Beatles, I chose a lyric from the song “Let It Be”. I bought ABC stencils from Michael’s for most of the letters. In order to make
I had so much fun making Play-doh photograph art with the xylophone, I thought it would be fun to make some with a piano as well. Of course you have to be extra careful not to damage the piano or get any play-doh in between the keys.

The first one isn’t walking when the second one is born 5. Whenever you’re on the phone with ANYONE and say “guess what?” their response is “You’re pregnant!” 6. When you’re out at the store people
The funny thing about vacations when you are a mother is that they are actually more work. They are a lot of fun, but seriously vacationing is EXHAUSTING!
