Things to keep me busy

Ive been keeping busy with my newest obsession sewing, so here are a few things I have been doing. My mom is chillin up in heaven with her mouth wide open ASTONISHED that her little girl loves to sew!!! My goal is to open an etsy shop, make some side cash and contribute financially to the family for the first time since I became a mom! With that said...

CALLING ALL CREATIVE MINDS!!!

I need some help coming up with a product name for myself/etsy shop. I want it to be original, fit my personality but not baby specific because I hope to further my horizons later on. Leave me a comment if you have any ideas, some crazy examples that I like are: Angry Chicken, Spoonflower, Rockstar Lullabies, Sew Bee It...totally random I know.

I got my first paying customer...HOLLA! The baseball blankie was for her, normally I would never buy this material but hey, whatev. Today I just got a 2nd order from someone who wants 3 blankies w/ matching bows!! Im excited about that so I just wanted to share!

bows inside with babys name
I lost my camera case, whipped this up real quick
matching burp rag with blankie, stiched with yellow thread...there was a border but I went ape shi on it...long story
thin layer of batting inside, perfect to lay down and play or wrap baby up
Customer lives in chicago, obsessed with the Cubs
I guess its my personal touch, I usually add babys name on blankie, it looks better in person I swear
No batting in this one, its SUPER comfy

IM TAKING ORDERS!! If you want any of these yummy, comfy blankies just let me know. Leave a comment and I'll get back to you about price and timeline...YAH! i feel so buisness like right now!

the infamous memory tag!!!

Hey der...I was tagged by an old school buddy of mine so have fun!!!

Memories...I hope you will play along.Here are the directions:
1. Add a comment on my blog and leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot just do anything you remember!

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you.It's actually pretty funny to see the responses.

If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you. If you don't want to play on your blog, or if you don't have a blog, I'll leave my memory of you in my comments!

Family Reunion

This Labor day weekend we got to go back up to our family cabin for the Palmers 30th family reunion. We left Thursday a.m. and got home Monday late p.m. It was a long trip full of good times and stressful times (my kids have a hard time sleeping up there). The children had a blast. Brody had plenty of adventures in the woods and felt super cool with a foam pirate sword he had, he barely ate anything but crap candy and was asleep every night by 8:30!! Saylee had a hard first night, we're learning that in order for her to sleep AT ALL she has to be in a room all by herself. So she got VP accomodations and slept in the cabin in her own room while we slept in the tent. She loved getting dirty and playing with all the rocks/dirt/grass/water she could get her hands on! Grady got to hang with alot of other babies and hes rolling over so well! I think he picked up on the other babies, he broke in his first tooth so his last couple of nights he was cranky, but there were plenty of people around to give him love! Dus and I got to relax and play some mad canasta, we all had a great time but Im SO glad to be home and now my house is a total mess and I have mountains of laundry to do and I dont want to do any of it!

Cabin Fever

This last weekend our little family went to the family cabin in Cristopher Creek. Dus and I went up to help Grandpa sort through 60 years of clutter, trust me,it was as fun as it sounds! Jamie came up with us to get some air and help watch the munchkins, Thanks so much J-dog, you're the best. The kids had a blast of coarse and they got to do all kinds of things. We're going back in a couple of weeks and Im hoping it will be cooler and Im excited to RELAX!

Saylee ate like crazy and let me feed her!

The Wedding!

The day FINALLY came and went. I say finally because our family has been oober busy every week to prepare for this day, but it also crept up on us really fast that i felt unprepared. Anywho, it was an awesome day. The temple was super busy, they had 170 sealing total on friday to do so there was a bunch of families waiting outside, etc. The lunch had good food(mexican) and it lasted WAY longer than planned (as things often do) so I had 45 mins to get home, get my entire family changed and ready for the reception/pics. Once we got there, all was good. Saylee even posed for a couple of pics...I was so proud! The reception was bumpin' and my kids were SPENT by the end of the night...so was I!

Busy, Busy, Busy

You know, sometimes its hard to take just even a little time to blog about your life when your too busy being a supermom/ trophy wife... its a learned skill that I hope to pass on throughout my growing years! Last week our family or myself had something planned every night SUN-SAT. I dont have pictures of everything but heres an idea of my crazy life lately.

Monday: Occupational therapy, laundry, dinner with a bunch of Dustins high school friends Ive never met.

Tuesday: Speech therapy, chiropractor for Say, pick up sister in laws for brow night with Mandi (P.S. Mandi, I miss my eyebrow!! HA HA HA)

Wednesday: Therapy free day!! Fabric store run, start sewing blanket/burp rag for friend, Dus's band practice, meet with Bish (with all three kids!)

Thursday: Chiropractor for Say, continue to sew blankie, mad clean house for Devins bachelor party that night (30 boys playing XBOX... even my dad came!) Krystals house for a trial run for hair/make up for wedding this week)

Friday: Developmental specialist therapy, re-clean house after it was destroyed, finish blankie, run to borders for Breaking Dawn wrist band, Costa Vida dinner with Krystal and bridesmaids, BREAKING DAWN party with Tiff, J dog, and Crissy... got my book at 1:30am

Saturday: 2:00am... QT run with Crissy before I started reading, 5:30am, took a shower-no sleep yet, reg routine with kids, wrap blankie (that usually takes time), baby shower with buddies, Dus's battle of the bands (he sang vocals on two songs...no drums!) read while he was gone...no sleep yet.

Sunday: 2:30am...leave for Krystals, took wedding pics at 5:30am and I had to get her ready- no sleep yet, got home at 6:00am PAST OUT ON FLOOR and slept through most of church, finished reading Breaking Dawn...FINALLY (750 pages) relax with the hubby!

This weeks going to be even crazier, the wedding is on friday and I have yet to purchase a single dress/outfit for my family! Even though I was insanely busy I had fun. I got to see Mandi, hang with my sister-in-laws, make a super cute blankie and hang with the "buddies" (Sarah and Tanj) oh and read the book ive been waiting for my whole life... I loved it but i will NEVER stay up for 48 hours again, im still recovering!
