DIY Stocking Letters

So, this year, we are having 8 people for Christmas morning, which means I needed stockings for everyone. I looked into getting stockings personalized, but even at a good price, like $15, I couldn't bring myself to pay for it. So, I opted for some cheap stockings from Walmart and thought I would get some cute letters to identify what stocking goes with which person. But, as I looked around, at several stores, I couldn't find one design that had enough letters for all 8 of us. And I started looking the second stores put out Christmas stuff. And the ones I could find with enough letters were expensive (which is probably while they hadn't been purchased by anyone yet.)

I had a thought of using paper cutouts, but then at Hobby Lobby today, the answer stared me in my face.

I found these wooden letters, $1.00 for four.

Since I needed 3 J's, I thought, that's a good deal! $6 for all 8 of us to have personalized stockings! All I needed was a little bottle of acrylic paint and I was good to go.

I had some red yarn that has come in really handy. Just a little glue gun and some yarn.....

And Voila!

I like them! Very cute if you ask me.

Guess Who Has A New Potty???

This girl!! Jason and I took Avery to Target tonight to find a potty chair. We didn't know what kind to get. When we got there, she loved the Sesame Street one. It's the kind that sits on the toilet, not an actual chair. I've heard both reasonings on a chair and a pad for the real toilet. On one hand, the chairs are little and easier for them to sit on and they aren't scary to flush. On the other, the pad doesn't require you to have to clean out a chair and they teach kids to sit on the big potty from the get go. What it really came down to was that we just don't have a big bathroom at all, so keeping an actual chair in the bathroom would have been hard. So we got the pad. It has a little hook that you attach to the tank, so you can hang the pad on it. I love this! I have no intention of actually potty training Avery full out, just yet. I don't think she is ready. But I have heard it's good to have one that they can practice sitting on and get u...

Some Changes...

We've been going through a bit of a transition at the Whitehead household the last month or so. I haven't really talked too much about it because I wasn't ready, to be honest. It's just a lot of change and I've been trying to figure it out in my head. As of three weeks ago last Friday, I am no longer a full time work out of home employee. I can't believe I just said that. It's been the plan for several months now for me to go into real estate and it was always assumed I'd be doing that part time, while keeping my full time job. Plans kind of changed when Jason got his promotion. He'd always has a job that allowed him a lot of flexibility. In sales, especially after you've been in a position for a while, it just sort of happens that way. He could take Avery to daycare and pick her up, he could take her to doctor's appointments, he could even do chores around the house in the afternoon, while I was at work. I had some flexibi...

Just a little bathroom project....

Raise your hand if this is what your bathroom looks like after every round of baths at your house????
