Onesie Cupcakes

Wanting to celebrate the birth of a very special baby girl, I was ready to test out a project I had seen on Pinterest.  Those who know me know that I am addicted.  My house is now full of crafty-ness.  It's true.  Back to the Onesies.

Baby P arrived & I was ready to give this Onesie Cupcake project a go.

Step 1
Go to the store and grab (4) Onesies and (4) matching/ish receiving blankets.



Step 2
Find a cute box or cupcake container; I scored mine at Dominick's in the bakery department.  It was a little more snug that I had hoped, but in the end, it worked just fine.  A box might be cuter.  Guess we'll have to wait for another birth before we try again!

Step 3
Now the fun begins.  Fold each receiving blanket into a 2-in strip.  Bunch up a corresponding Onesie in your hand and push your finger into it to puff it up.  Wrap the blanket around the blanket; holding it securely the entire time.  I then used a coffee filter as the base & wrapped a ribbon around the outside of each "cupcake."  A rubber band would also have sufficed.  Repeat this step 4 times (or however many cupcakes you intend to make & put into the box).


Step 4
I then jammed all 4 into the cupcake container & sealed it up. 

Cute right?!  It was fun to make and super easy; would be an adorable baby shower gift.  :)  I'm so glad Baby P is here, now I have someone to make all of my fun Pinterest projects for!  Hooray!

It is not 1950; I do not vacuum in pearls.

Hi, it's me - I know it's been a while, but I've been deep inside that bubble I mentioned when everything first happened in November 2020 and I am starting to emerge having done some serious healing and navigating within the trauma of being a suicide survivor and a sole parent. This has nothing to do with that though. I'm dumping this thought here because I need it documented: You know how the conservative crowd tends to use "Well I don't have any children, why should I help pay for the schools?" and "People are just too lazy to work, I don't know why we need social services to help people pay for their child care and food?" I'm noticing those are the same voices I hear in restaurants complaining that there are no servers. No bartenders. No one available to change their oil or to do other trade work. And no one to watch their children.  The CEO of the company I work for posted a big response about how child care is the gatekeeper to folks...

Momma K

It's true.  I love my mom.  She's my best source of advice & wisdom, even though it took me roughly 20 years to figure that out.  I just wanted to take a quick second and thank her for all that she's done for me and especially for the things she didn't do for me.  =)  I wouldn't be the person I am today without her. Love you mom! We're pretty fabulous, no?

That time we sold our house.

Porch, Charlotte, and I are excited to share that we are moving!  If you follow us on Facebook, you know that we put our house up for sale on Thursday.  By Saturday afternoon, we had 3 offers on the table and we accepted!  I can't even begin to express our shock, our joy, our excitement, and our nervousness about the months ahead. We put an offer on a house closer to my new job as Charlie attends the center and being closer means that Porch can drop her off on my early shift (6am-3pm) and pick her up on my late shift (9:30-6:30pm) so Charlie isn't spending all of her waking hours in child care.  We're ridiculously excited, yet cautious. The new house has 4 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms and is begging for a series of updates.  There are a number of projects that await us but we're so excited to call this new place home and to make it into something that's truly ours.  A home we can grow into.  A home we can share with our family over the years and create ...
