Do a little jig


BEST KEPT SECRET- 
handmade jig
This weeks "spot light" goes to my incredibly talented friend Alyssa.
She started out making cute cards (all by hand, cut out little pieces and drawn by her!), and onsies for people for birthdays, baby showers, and other occasions.

She got so many requests for people to make her things that she opened up her own etsy shop.  She has BY FAR the cutest onsies I have ever laid my eyes on.



Check out her shop. Buy something, love it forever.

If you are like me, you enjoy ALL the NEW knick knacks that they are coming out for Mom's and Babies these days....Nursing Covers, Baby Legs, Boppy Pillows... to name a few.

Polkadots for little bums

OH, the diaper! We have a love hate relationship with the diaper.  Love the way it protects against leaks and rashes,hate the price tag attached...
Should you go for the cheap brands, most likely your little one will wet right through them without too much effort. Leaks are little fun, but the explosions are worse.  If your sweetheart is like ours, the cheaper brands can also cause little rashes on delicate skin. Our baby has allergies to almost every brand (of diaper AND WIPES), except of course the most expensive Huggies and Pampers.  So for over a year, we shelled out the big bucks to cover the little bum.
Then, one sunny afternoon, I made a DISCOVERY! Call it a "WOOO HOOOO!!!" moment. 
Target has a new generic type brand. Called "UP & UP".  All through out Target you will see this brand creeping up, not making much of a fuss, but always providing lower prices and a good deal.

I'll admit, after trying just about every brand of diaper, I was skeptical that this would be any different. But then I caught a glimpse of the ADORABLE print all over the diaper.  Yes, I demand cuteness even in my diapers!
After buying a pack of 40 diapers for a mere $6.97 as apposed to the 36 diapers for $ 10.97 for some name brand diapers. I wandered over to the other aisles of baby-dom.... 80 wet wipes for 1.89 instead of 72 for 2.50.... Fruit puffs for .82 instead of $1.99.  WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN all my life UP & UP...
I am proud to say, No rashes, no leaks, nothing but PURE AWESOMENESS from this brand of diapers.  
All in all, Cute, affordable, durable, LOVEABLE!
