Father's Day Gifts

So I have finally finished my dad's Father's Day gifts that are from my family and my sister's family. I really enjoy making Heritage Makers gifts for him and he loves them. For Christmas 2009 I made him a calendar out of all his beach photos and then when I didn't give him one for Christmas 2010 he gave me crap for weeks. I know it was all in fun but then when I listened to an inspiration class hosted by Heritage Makers that showed these awesome Garage projects I knew I had to make them for my dad. So I called my sister and told her about them and she was all for it. That's when I got to work. So here are the two projects that I created (well added me pictures and family holiday's and changed some quotes) for my dad. His Father's Day Calendar and his Grandpa Brag Book. I think they turned out great and I can't wait to see them. I also printed our 2010 Yearbook and two broad books for Rex, Fun with Grandma & Popa and Fun with Mommy to go with his Fun with Daddy book. Now he has a whole collection. They are discontinuing the board books right now until they can afford to purchase and print their own. So if you are interested in the board books then become a member of Club HM and this will help us get on our way to getting board books back.

Oh, I want to go check the mail now to see if they are here but of course I just published them so I have to wait about a week to see them. So excited!!! If you want to join the fun of creating projects similar to mine you can visit my website at www.buildingstoriesonline.com and sign up for a free account and check it out. You can also email me about questions and for more information about becoming a Club HM member once your there. It really is great! When we get the boxes in the mail Rex gets so excited. He just repeats "Book! Book! Book!" until I open the box and let him see what we got.

Baby Bumpdate: Week 35

35 Weeks! That means only 5 left!!!! Holy cow!!! I think I'm starting to freak out just a little!!! How far along? 35 Weeks! Yea! How big is baby?  He's about 18 inches and just over 5 pounds. Weight gain? I gained a pound last week. Maternity Clothes?  Of course. I'm living in tanks right now because of the heat. Just wish I had more shorts to wear. Stretch Marks?  Nothing new. Just the ones from before and Monkey. Sleep? With this cold I'm not sleeping much. I'm getting a little better and able to sleep about 4 to 6 hours at night and then at nap time I'm able to get 1 or 2 more hours of sleep. However, I'm still exhausted especially because of the heat. It just drains all my energy. Even when I'm sitting in the shade under a fan. Of course it's only June so I'm not sure how this heat thing will effect me in July :/ Best Moment this Week?  Monkey kissing my belly before he went down for a nap. It was so cute. He ...

Media Monday: How it affects my child

Media is neither good or bad. Last week I talked about media in our marriage and a little bit about our family and media but today is all about Rex and media. Rex loves cartoons! Right now he happens to be watching Veggie Tales while eating lunch. This is not a normal thing at all. I can't remember the last time he was eating while watching TV. Today we had a crazy time and he asked to watch a movie and I didn't have a problem with it. Plus it's Veggie Tales.  We have a limit (during mommy in charge time) that he is only allowed to watch one movie/TV show each day and some days we don't watch anything. When daddy gets home things change and the TV is on within minutes of being home. Rex normally doesn't care that the TV is on because of our daily activities. He plays or helps me cook unless daddy is watching adult cartoons then he is more interested.  This past winter I found us watching more TV than I planned ever to let my children watch. So once it start...

Bikini Body Mommy Challenge Update!

So we are starting week 8 (I think). It's been a few weeks since I have officially sat down and updated on how I have been doing. Week 6 I did pretty good. The 4 am workouts were starting to wear on me so I decided to try and get a workout in after my hubby left for work but before the kids got up. Some days that went OK and other days not so well. I did however get several workouts in with the boys awake and they went pretty well. Monkey tired to join in with me and it was quite fun to watch. Of course he couldn't keep up with the workouts and took many breaks but it was fun to have him involved. This week I plan to do cardio days at 4 am in the gym because they are easier than trying to complete in the house. But for the non-cardio days I will do them in the house in the morning. That way I'm not completely exhausted everyday. Now for week 7. I have no idea even what the workouts were for last week. I didn't even look once! I have good reason though. My hubby h...
