I'm not domestic out of joy, but pure necessity. And cheapity. Josiah picked me out a hooterhider when I was pregnant at this really cute baby store here in Sacramento. I had been shopping with my good friend Lindsey before either of us had babies, and I convinced her that they weren't worth $40. She didn't get one, and then 6 months later, Josiah decided I needed one. The first time I used it I realized that it was definitely worth having. Sorry Lindsey. Last weekend, whilst nursing on the train ride, I think I left it, and it has not been recovered. So I decided to make my own. I went to the local Walmart that has a fabric department, and picked up all of the things I needed. They didn't have boning for the neck, but I had read online that heavy duty zipties work just as well, and they're like $1.89 for 20. So after spending $15 on fabric and zipties, I now have three! (And one more on the way.)
I also made these stockings. There are two of each. The fabric was pre quilted and different on each side, so I made two facing each direction, or two of each style. I had enough fabric to make 4, so I decided reggie could have one filled with delicious treats!
And then finally, I was inspired by Kelsey to make some baby food. Zeke loved yams, so I bought some fresh ones and baked them up, and baked some butternut squash, and then cooked up some fresh green beans for him. I pureed them all in my Magic Bullet (my favorite appliance EVER!!!) and then froze them in ice cube trays. Once they were all frozen, I divided them into Ziploc snack bags, and now they're ready to go! He LOVES his food.

You are amazing and so domestic. I am very impressed! Love you and miss you! It has been far too long since I have seen your pretty face! By the way, I think your baby is adorable!
Oh my gosh you have been busy!! Arent those nursing covers so easy to make?!! And so cheap. And I have always wanted to make my own baby food I have just been too lazy. You are my new inspiration.
Wow Dez! I'm very impressed! Who would have thought that you would grow up to be so domestic! ;) I need to be more like you....
Holy moly, you're awesome! Good job on the baby food. I'm way to lazy and Kit could care less if the food is pureed. He would eat a steak if I let him!
She would be very proud of you.
