Not the baby anymore :(

Sitting here reminiscing today! Where has the time gone?! I remember this day like yesterday. She had to have her purse and high heels even in the rain. She's my lil priss. I don't know where the time went but now my baby girl is going to be a big sis and not the baby anymore :( She's had a long time by herself though sucking up all the attention. She kisses my belly every night before bed  and when I pick her up from school she tells me how much she missed her little sister and they haven't even met yet :) She was such an easy baby. I never had any trouble with her. Of course being a new mommy I was tired and cried on occasion but when I look back and even now she has always been a good little girl and I was just being overdramatic.She woke up one day and started walking on her own and weening her off the bottle was a piece of cake. Once morning I introduced Mr. Sippy cup to her and that was the end of it. She never asked for a bottle again! Potty training was really the only thing that took a little longer for her to figure out but since that accomplishment shes only had 2 accidents in her bed (my fault because I put her to bed without going to the potty first...oops!) I know now to try and not sweat the small stuff and enjoy those sleepless nights because it sure does fly by. She has taught me how to be a better mommy and she will always be mommies firstborn precious angel.

DIY Craft table

 Well about a month ago my mom called and said she had found a child's table on the side of the road. She knows I love free stuff and I loooove to redo furniture so she brought it to me. Ive been meaning to find myself an old table and do the same for me but I dont want to buy one and Ive had no luck yet getting a free one on the side of the road :/ Haven't really been looking though ;) I was in such a hurry to slap some paint on this that I forgot to get before pics. It started out as an ordinary brown table. The top is particle board and the legs are pure wood. With a little bit of sanding to roughen up the surface and some white paint this is what it turned out to look like.


 
 
I added a paper roll to the side for her art projects using a .97 cent curtain rod from walmart.
 
 
 
This lovely owl stencil was cut out using my Silhouette Cameo :) I love how it turned out. This will be for both of my girls to use for many wonderful crafts to come. Isabelle was so excited and is a very happy lil lady!
