Really random, but any ideas for decorating a stroller to look like... a cupcake? Haha.
I'm doing a 5K fun run this weekend with B. The theme is cupcakes and sprinkles (there are cupcakes and a dessert bar at the finish line!) and they encourage costumes. I don't want to dress myself up, but think it would be cute if she fit the theme.
Not sure how much time you have, but saw this online

Happy birthday, Joolschweets! Cake for breakfast sounds very appropriate
I was excited because I got an Oriental Trading catalog the other day, and actually looked through it - they have a ton of nautical birthday decorations, and free shipping for orders over $39. Kudos to all you ladies that are DIY'ing decorations, but that's a big LOL no for me. I'm mostly just going to order the plates and napkins to go with the nautical theme, a bunch of cute beach balls with anchors on them for my parents' pool, and maybe a few other little odds and ends to tie things together. The only thing I really plant to DIY is making a banner that has his monthly pictures with his panda I've been doing, since I love seeing those at other first birthdays. It's amazing to see the progression of how quick they grow the first year!
purple Line drying is definitely not common here! We have a drying rack that I use for diaper covers and when we need to sun stains out of a diaper (which is not often now that we're past the exclusively breastfed poop stage). Certain diapers can be dried and certain ones can't. The ones we use primarily are supposed to be put in the dryer and definitely don't feel as soft when I use the drying rack!
holliberry28 That sounds like an awesome party! Do people really get DJs for 1st birthday parties!? My ILs keep mentioning jumpy houses for G's birthday party and I keep telling them no. Gianna doesn't know how to jump and will get trampled by the other kids. And frankly I'd rather put that money towards booze and cake
jillywilly I bought nautical tote bags and sailor hats from oriental trading for my sister's naughty nautical bachelorette party. Super cheap and turned out cute!
Trying not to be jealous. It's beginning to feel as if we'll never move :-(
It helps that we currently rent. If we had to try to sell a house in order to move, it would definitely take much longer for us too.
I'd forgotten. Yes, that would speed things up.
I'm not really jealous, I'm delighted for you. And getting a bit impatient, but trying not to. Moving is going to be stressful when it happens, with L and being pregnant!

Thanks. I know I shouldn't stress but I have a feeling M is going to cry the whole time, too. Any aside on what center pieces to put on the table to hang the balloons off of??

I forgot the PnP when bringing O to my friends house, who despite having a 1yo doesn't own a crib or PnP. So he likely napped on the floor and I have no idea how since he's crawling now and doesn't fall asleep with a bottle or being rocked.
But worse, I forgot a BOTTLE and she doesn't have any formula! So in our last text exchange she was either going to try and distract him with food, give him cows milk, or nurse him herself if all else failed (!!)
And now DH won't answer my texts about how the day went. Ahhh!
It's double eviction night on big brother and I usually cheat by checking Twitter but I may try to stay surprised since it's such an intense episode. I don't know if I will be able to hold off though....
Anyone else excited for it?!
I usually check Twitter spoilers too, except for eviction night! But yeah, I never wait to find out who won HOH or veto! lol.

Widget123, that's a crazy schedule! Our teacher appreciation week is next week, and we just had to donat $25 and the committee buys everything - I think I prefer that. I just need to remember to dress DS according to each day's "theme."
I got my first two LLR outfits in the mail last night and now I'm really sad that I have to wear a uniform to work. Yesterday was PJ day though, so I guess I can't complain too much.
AW them please!
I'm not super adventurous, but this is brighter than I'd normally do. Pardon the fussy baby.

carolyngrace does this friend bed share? I still can't imagine not having SOMETHING to contain my kid in. I feel like my DD would FREAK if someone else tried to nurse her. Hope your little man did alright!

Uh, yes. And she keeps offering to just "hold" Oscar until he falls asleep, and I'm like he doesn't do that! lol... She also nurses 4-5 times/night still (her LO is 14 months) and always talks to me about how "hungry" he is, or how he's in a growth spurt. I really love this friend, and her baby is happy and healthy, so I keep my reactions to a minimum
She actually did nurse him a bit, and he did great, and then gave him a small amount of half & half mixed with water, and then a pouch. Hey, whatever works! I'll remember my bottles next time!!
