So my baby sleeps in a closet.

I have a confession, my almost 6 month old sleeps in a closet.  My closet.  I thought it was a brilliant answer to my issue of a frequently waking baby and a kids room that is too far away.  However, as I told other moms about it they looked at me like I'd said I put my baby on the roof or in the garage. ;)

So here is photo proof that she's doing just fine in there.  It's not a reach in closet after all.  Now, someday I plan on moving her to her crib (in a room shared with her 4 year old sister, yikes) but for now the co-sleeper in the closet will do.  We may have to move to a pack-n-play once she can monkey herself out of the co-sleeper.  Or when my friend having twins needs it, whichever comes first. Ha!

I think early exposure to clothes and style is good, don't you?  Perhaps she'll love the color pink as much as I do after seeing to it night after night.

She's wearing a goodmama fitted (cloth) diaper in this photo by the way.  More about her cloth diapering to come!

Cilantro bouquet

Did you know that the best way to keep cilantro fresh is to put it in water like a bouquet?  Keeps it fresh and looks lovely too.

I have plans for this yummy bouquet, more on that later this week.

Would you like help with that?

When shopping I am often asked "would you like help with that" or "would you like help out with that".  Until recently I always said no.  After all, I'm a capable mommy, why would I need help?

Turns out because help is great!  I first said yes last week at Sprouts when I had too many bags to fit in the cart.  A very nice woman walked out to my car with me, loaded my van and even closed the doors for me.  By the time I had my baby and 4yr old buckled in she was done and we were ready to go.  Heaven!

So today at SuperTarget when asked if I wanted help out I said yes.  Another fabulous worker walked us out and loaded the van.  So easy!

So my advice for today is when asked if you'd like help out say yes!

Yet another blog

I decided to start my own public blog.  Yes, all this world needs is another mommy blog.  But hey, why not?

So the purpose of this blog (well at least my intent) is to have a place to keep track of my project ideas, recipes that I try out, bargains and whatever else seems like a good idea to share.  I got the idea from pinterest.  I have things that I'd like to pin and share but couldn't find them (easily) online. So viola, when I can't I'll blog here in order to share.

So welcome!
