Diaper Cake - Halloween Style

I just had to share because it turned out so cute! We had a mini-baby shower for my sister-in-law Brienna at Bunco last night. And, since it was October, I was hosting at my house this month and I'm obsessed with all things Halloween, I thought we'd theme it up a little. Here's the - adorable - end result.



Thanks Alysha for the tutorial awhile back. I'm so excited at how easy and fun these are!

A few good things

I thought I'd share a couple of my newest favorite things:

1. I got this book while in Utah this summer:

It has FHE lessons based on the Book of Mormon. We are using it for our scripture study too. It breaks down each verse in the BoM individually and has questions to ask about the verses. My 5 year old does great with it! I highly recommend. Available at Deseret Book

2. The best book I've read in ages. These Is My Words by Nancy Turner. This is the first book in a series of 3 (so far) about a pioneer homesteader in the late 1800s. Very clean but a little violent with Indian wars and such. Seriously, a great read.

3. Febreze Pumpkin Harvest and Fall Spray smells so so good and is perfect to freshen up your house if you don't have time to burn a candle. I found mine at Target!

4. Burt's Bees baby products. I got a big gift basket full of these products after I had my baby and I LOVE them. My favorites are the buttermilk lotion and diaper cream. They smell divine and are very mild.

A Nursing Mom's Breast Friend!

Okay, so as a new mom my memory, short term that is, has gone out the window. Luckily, I haven't thrown out the baby with the bath water, yet!! I was given this "lifesaver"...at least for my memory. Anyway, after Shannon's post about the pump bra I knew I needed to post about this AWESOME band that every nursing or even non-nursing mother needs! This one is obviously a little more on the "serious" side!

Check out their website...the Milk Band was invented by my brother and sister-in-law's neighbor and I was lucky enough to be given one!! I absolutely LOVE it and would recommend it to anyone who is nursing. Forget about the old safety pin trick of trying to keep track of which side you nursed on last. Oh and you can mark at what time you last fed your sweet little one! Hope some find this helpful!!
