MAKIN’ IT: easy photo PLACEMATS

This is a quickie craft project to turn a stack of photos, like the ones my mom is always sending me, into personalized placemats for sloppy eaters. We have several of these and they make me very happy.

Finished placemat, getting put to the test

My cousins originally created unique placemats that were photo collages of my life and Alec’s life up until the moment we were engaged as a bridal shower favor. Each side of the family had provided pictures of our babydom and childhood and they were intermixed with more recent photos of us together. We ate off of them during the bridal shower and were sent home with a stack of 12 one-of-a-kind placemats.

When Holden graduated from the feeding chair to eating at the table with us, we busted out the placemats to catch his food-overflow. He loves them because he can see his extended family every morning (as well as baby-daddy, little-kid-mommy, and other younger characters from his life).

In the interest of full disclosure, Alec hates these placemats because they showcase some of his geekier looks (boy in cage, boy with huge hair, and mismatched boy of the seventies) while I think they’re charming (me at prom, me looking remarkably like my son, me with good hair, and me with my dad).

I created a few more current placemats so I could share the technique with you. Holden and Milo love seeing themselves in pictures over breakfast!

Collage in progress

Here are the steps to creating your own custom photo placemats:

Gather materials: a stack of photos, scissors, glue stick (or tape), and some construction paper.

Snip and layout a simple collage. glue it down. If your kids (or relatives) are score-keepers, make sure each page is a fair balance of your cast of characters.

Bring to Kinko’s FedExOffice for lamination. request that they leave a 1/2 inch border of laminant around your work to keep them water-tight. My first effort (pictured above) had only 1/4 inch and that’s not as good.

All ready for lamination

Variations:

Kid art. use some of your favorite kid art and laminate that. Make sure to label Picasso’s name and date.

Educational. Why not laminate a map or label some pictures with vocabulary words?

Proper place-setting. I don’t know about you, but I still forget where the fork, knife, spoon goes in relation to the cup. What about drawing outlines for these so your kid can learn correctly?

Freestyle. What else have you seen that you immediately wanted to copy? Can you draw something awesome? print out a coloring sheet? write simple words in a foreign language? draw a family tree?

You can lay them out in the span of one nap and drop them off on a walk to pick up another time.

Once you get the hang of these, you’ll have your own bright ideas. Please share them in the comments to inspire us!

SAWYER’S BIRTH STORY: CHOLESTASIS triggers early INDUCTION

It’s Birth story time. If you’re new here, my third infant Sawyer was born in 2011. Whereas Holden’s birth was a extremely scientific 44-hour ordeal as well as Milo’s birth was a quick as well as simple four-hour walk in the park, Sawyer split the difference at 24 hours as well as a new type of medical drama.

The pregnancy had new difficulties for me — advanced maternal age, prolonged diabetes test, half marathon, a cough that lasted my entire celebration trimester ”“ however I went into my final month of pregnancy healthy as well as radiant. people were so good to me. At 34 weeks, I had this incredible series of photos taken by professional photographer Brian Smith at the BlogHer seminar in my preferred blue dress.

The itching starts
Monday after the conference, I was exhausted. I likewise discovered that my skin was feeling itchy as well as my hands were red as well as puffy. I presumed it was from the additional heat, walking, as well as flying. I called in a beautiful at-home mom masseuse who provided me a chamomile massage as well as suggested that I drink tea as well as take it easy.

Soon after drinking the tea, my skin ended up being even much more itchy particularly my hands as well as feet. The itching subsided after a few days.

On Friday night, we were on a double date with friends. I keep in mind it was a special night since Karen as well as Ross told us they were expecting their very first baby, so all of us headed to a tea shop after dinner for our after-dinner drinks. once again I purchased the chamomile since I believed it was the most mild/gentle tea available. Again, the itchy hands as well as feet came back. This time, I wondered if there was a connection between the tea as well as my incredibly itchy extremities. It did not subside.

My whole body was itchy however my hands as well as feet were the worst. I appeared like a crazy monkey. On heroine. At night, the feeling was much more intense. I wanted I had a metal clean to scratch at my palms as well as soles of my feet.

I had heard that itchy skin was typical toward the end of pregnancy however this felt different.

By 35-weeks pregnant, after fervent googling as well as trolling the babycenter boards, I found a condition as well as asked my physicians to test me for it: obstetric cholestasis.

It takes about a week to get results for the bile acid test. My own preferred OB was on getaway so I satisfied with others in the exact same practice. The dr. who verified my suspicions made it noise extremely serious while the next dr. I saw made it seem like no huge deal. My bile acid levels were evaluated at 41 (and they stated anything over 20 is cause for concern).

Cholestasis is a liver condition that occurs to 1 out of 1000 expecting women. essentially my liver couldn’t breakdown bile acids so they end up in my blood stream triggering me to itch around endlessly 24 hours a day. It has the prospective to put the infant at high danger too. extremely high risk. like still birth high risk.

I was provided a prescription for Urso as well as asked to find in for biweekly non-stress tests (fetal tracking for 30 minutes laying flat on my back) in addition to my regular visits around 37 weeks. I took the Urso medication which didn’t seem to help; stopped eating all food with fat in it (which is everything!); as well as bought this special anti-itch Sarna lotion. The lotion made my skin feel better, however I couldn’t shake the picture that whatever I was eating was attacking my baby. Time seemed to be the enemy. Three days after my very first test, the levels were pushing 70.

After freaking out on the babycenter birth club boards I discovered that bile acid levels over 40 are a strong indicator to provide early. These levels can double overnight as well as do not seem to be assisted by basic anti-stress testing or fetal monitoring.

On some level, I had really hoped that I was overreacting. when my physician came back from her vacation, she stated that we needed to get the infant out before 38 weeks or danger stillbirth. My liver enzymes were attacking the fetus as well as birth was the only remedy. We selected 37.5 weeks for the induction.

I kept it quite peaceful on the internets as well as among my real-life buddies as well however the night before my arranged induction, I sent out a fleet of “pray for me” emails to the numerous people in my life who I would want to understand if the worst happened.

My induction was arranged for Holden’s second day of 1st grade while Milo’s preschool was closed for the week. Luckily, my mom was able to find in on short notice. Her primary task would be juggling my two young boys as well as keeping them pleased as well as fed.

The morning of the induction.
I was dropped off alone at the medical facility to begin the process as well as Alec joined me (by bike) when the morning logistics were sorted.

It was strange being at the medical facility however not in labor. I inspected in on foursquare. I checked out my depressing book on the iPad. I was bored. concerned for the baby, however bored.

Alec as well as I hung out while we waited for labor to begin. He keeps in mind me taking a pill to begin contractions; I was likewise hooked as much as an IV drip of something. We viewed I like you, guy on the iPad. I ate a ton of red Jello as well as slurped poultry broth. We debated infant names, we were down to two names that we both liked. We walked the halls together with me clutching my IV stand on wheels.

I heard shrieks as well as screams from down the hall. The lady had run out of time for her epidural. F that.

Every time a new physician came on shift, I repeated my fervent rate of interest in having an epidural: Blah blah, third baby, last one came fast. “Oh yes,” the nurses would certainly keep that in mind.

Around midnight, after taking induction meds all day, the physician told me I wasn’t even in labor as well as I ought to be eating genuine food. What the hell? Seriously, what had I been doing if this wasn’t even labor? I was not pleased. however I did have dinner.

Ultimately, I spent about 12 to 15 hours hooked as much as the IV drip of pitocin before anything looking like labor started happening. Contractions as well as labor pain began in earnest around 3am the next day. I got the epidural in time. I pushed for around 20 minutes. Sawyer was born healthy as well as strong at 8:18am on Thursday.

We texted our liked ones the details: infant boy!! 21″ 8#5oz no name yet.

What a huge boy! I had feared that he would be small or his lungs would be immature since he was coming so early. Neither of those fears concerned pass. Instead, he was so inflamed from IV fluid that he didn’t regain to his birth weight for abut 4 weeks.

Can you see exactly how puffed out all his bit skin is? So numerous rolls.

My healing was all about the swelling. The sheer size of my feet, ankles, calves, as well as all the method up past my knees because of pregnancy water retention topped off with IV fluids from my birth had me persuaded I was in kidney failure. I almost inspected myself into the ER. Cankles past my knees, people!!

I never discovered out if drinking the chamomile tea had anything to finish with my liver issues however I haven’t touched it in over a year.

Welcome infant sibling, we like you

MAKING BABY-PAINTED greeting CARDS {ROOKIE mothers difficulty #6}

When I saw Activity #6, paint Your Baby’s Feet, I understood I might put my own spin on this for my husband’s birthday card this year as well as have my son, Eli, make it.

A bit backstory: When we were dating, my other half as well as I were quite huge gift givers. whatever from skydiving to sleigh rides as well as even diamond earrings, we both went all out when it concerned birthdays, Christmas as well as the sacred dating anniversary. After we got married as well as started sharing a bank account, those lavish gifts rapidly fell by the wayside, not since we didn’t want to provide the other person special things, however since the other person didn’t want to get them any type of more. I’ll never fail to remember the time I bought a canine sledding experience for my outdoorsy, animal-loving husband, as well as he sheepishly (and kindly) asked me to return it.

OUCH. however I understood. since just the year prior, I had requested a “no-frills” birthday – we we were DINKS (If you haven’t heard that before, that’s double Income, No Kids) as well as typically bought anything we truly desired whether it was our birthday or not, so I wasn’t in requirement of anything, as well as a dinner out costs high quality time with my other half was gift sufficient for me. (My exactly how things modification when ending up being a self-sufficient adult!)

One of the other things that has fallen to the wayside in the name of saving money is buying cards. I don’t understand about you, however I’d much rather spend my $4.00 on a fully-loaded latte than on a piece of paper. We still compose cards for every occasion, however normally they’re homemade.

What we did: I started out by totally covering Eli’s high chair in plastic. We have the Ikea Antilop high chair,(Amazing for only $25!) as well as while it’s totally wipeable, I wasn’t sure exactly how it would hold as much as paint. I likewise chose to switch him from his typical fabric diapers into a disposable, as well as it’s a great thing I did – since this activity is untidy – remarkable – however messy.

To try to manage the amount of paint he played with, I took a paper plate with a lot of paint on it as well as dipped his hands into it, then let him play. At first, he truly didn’t care about the paper, he just wished to gaze at his hand. Please notice the crossed-eyes below. His eyes were stuck like that while he turned his hand around as well as around for a great five minutes.

Eventually, I took his hands as well as showed him exactly how he might “paint” the paper as well as he took rate of interest in seeing the colors transfer from his hands to the paper, as well as the plastic, as well as his body, as well as of course, his mouth.

To keep it simple, I just selected two colors, blue as well as red, as well as I tried to let the blue dry a bit before I let him relocation on to the red, just so things wouldn’t turn as well brown.

Before he started painting, I cut out a couple pieces of cardstock to 8.5” x 5.5” as well as folded them in half to look like cards, as well as I kept a handful of extra 8”x10” sheets on hand so he might make a few pieces of art for us to hang on a chalkboard wall we have in our house.

Here are a few of his masterpieces.

I’m hoping these will be worth billions of dollars someday when Eli grows as much as be a master artist. You never know!

Oh, as well as right here are 10 recipes for homemade, edible paint or you can likewise purchase non-toxic paint in situation you want to try this as well!

I schedule weekly dates WITH EACH kid

look at that face. Where is my baby? | Photo: Denna Bendall

A couple months back, my family kicked off weekly dinner dates for one-on-one kid-parent combinations. Every Tuesday night, a pair of us has a night out together while the rest of us eat at home. because we are five busy people with two parents and three children, I geeked out to make a formal six-week rotation and plugged it into our google calendar:

Mommy – Sawyer (4)

Daddy – Milo (8)

Mommy – Holden (10)

Daddy – Sawyer

Mommy – Milo

Daddy – Holden

(and then you repeat… forever until they still come back from college for dinner every two weeks!)

What’s so terrific about special kid dates?

It has been wonderful all around. Each of the children really looks forward to getting a night out at a restaurant they choose with focused individual attention from their favorite grown-ups. As I dutifully learned in siblings Without Rivalry, we never talk about the ones that are not there.

So far, the preschooler has went to a new-to-him Mexican restaurant (unfamiliar quesadillas!), funky diner (someone put whipped cream on his pancake!), and the new board game cafe in town; he likes to pick a new Transformer to join us in case we get into any trouble (Chase, above, is trying to keep us from cheating at games).

Milo, on the other hand, has chosen the game cafe each time loving the familiarity and that he gets to purchase grilled cheese and choose all the games he wants without having to agree with big or little brother. imagined below is the eleventeenth time we ran the MouseTrap course before getting it to really work!

At age 10, Holden has been much more prepared to try new foods and places. Yes, he also had a week at the game cafe but he chose pizza, Mexican, and the local hibachi place, too. He asked me this week why we couldn’t do special kid dates every night because they’re so great. If only we had the money and time, kid…

So, what’s the problem with these special kid dates?

Aside from the finite quantities of both money and time to check out all the restaurants in town; we’ve discovered one repeating pattern each week. After we get home from so much fun we’re both skipping with glee, shit gets real. It is bedtime and one of us is done being a super-awesome parent and the other of us is so wound up, bedtime is the last thing he wants to do.

And the parent says, “We had so much fun, why do you have to destroy it?” and the child stomps off slamming doors as he goes. and scene.

pssst. When we become parents, I also think it is very essential to find time for yourself to do what you love, time with your girlfriends, and dates with your partner! So that’s another big reason I can’t do special kid dates every night.

CRUSING around IN A MINIVAN

If you ask Milo why he’s thrilled about a new infant concerning online with us, he will mention the word “minivan” within a few enthusiastic sentences. We told the young boys we’d get a minivan to soften the strike of having one more youngster in the house. It worked like a charm.

Before we borrowed a deluxe, kitted-out Toyota Sienna (AKA Swagger Wagon) with video screens as well as a heap of elegant features, both young boys were already enamored by the remote manage doors. After riding in one for a week, they were sold.

Not my kid, however do you see exactly how pleased he is?

As I mentioned, the youngsters liked it. Within minutes of me choosing them up at institution for our week-long roadtrip down the California coast, they found the video screens, footrests, as well as controls for the double sun-roofs.

On the road, I honestly don’t understand exactly how they discovered anything to grumble about, however being trapped in the backseat with your sibling for 9 hours in a row gets old even in the lap of high-end as well as your option of movie.

Alec was the very first to find the wise cruise manage features. The vehicle slows down on its own if you get as well close to the car in front of you. extremely cool. I relied on the car parking help features as well as slowly got much more comfortable driving as well as stopping in town.

Proper name is Sienna XLE not swagger wagon

My sister-in-law likes hers. reality be told, driving such a big car feels a bit bit like being pregnant: I’m continuously scared I’ll misjudge my own girth as well as hurt somebody. For now, we are back in our little vehicle in anxious anticipation of the day a minivan as well as a infant show up to stay.

Improve confidence and learn to deal With Sarcasm

Sharing is caring!

Some people regard sarcasm as a heightened level of wit and sophistication. and it is true that witty, quick thinking retorts are often highly amusing and entertaining to others. how lots of of us have wished that we could have thought of that snappy rejoinder half an hour before instead of when we were driving home in the car ?

But sarcasm when both parties are not evenly matched can become a form of verbal abuse, a bit like a cat playing with a mouse, and equally unpleasant to watch. Dealing successfully with sarcasm can have several different approaches.

– neglect it. Act a bit unworldly and treat the comments as if they were a valid remark. There is no sport in being sarcastic with someone who does not get the comments and they will give up trying if there is no reaction, if all that happens is a normal action that is oblivious to the inferences being made. treat the remarks like water off a ducks back.

– Laugh at the comments. By joining in, their remarks lose their offensiveness, and laughter is often a great tool to defuse a tense situation. being able to laugh at ourselves is an attractive quality and enables everyone around to easily join in with the humour too. You also show yourself as being confident enough to be able to kick back and see the wit in the comments and the situation.

– Retaliate if you feel you are quick enough, but be wary of joining in a fight unless you know that you can win. and these situations can often become quite unpleasant. Does it really matter to you that much or is it better to let it go ? often by retaliating it can make the situation a lot more tough because the defence to sarcasm being nasty or cruel is often that the remark was indicated as a joke. You can then appear to be excessively sensitive with no sense of humour. It is often a lot more embarrassing to pursue this line of conversation and better instead for you to pick one of the other options that I have outlined.

Related  weekend Reflection

– consider why this person is behaving this way and saying these things. Are they genuinely relating to themselves as bright and witty, but becoming a little over the top, or are they trying to appear superior. Are they maybe jealous or trying to score points and so becoming a verbal bully ? often low self-esteem and confidence levels are a aspect when someone is trying to win a war of words. There can be an attempt to demonstrate their greater intellect by a putting others down mentality. You can reassure yourself that they are less confident that they are appearing and normally everyone around can see that this is the case. This behaviour is often an sophisticated cover up.

By protecting yourself in the most proper way you can reinforce the true belief that this situation is not about you. You are in a situation caused by another person to amuse and entertain themselves and maybe others. allow yourself to keep control, secure your confidence levels and you will emerge stronger and a lot more confident as a result.

BABY FOOD BLOOPER

While Heather was keeping her present pregnancy trick from me, she started paying increased interest to products for young infants in a method that didn’t suggestion me off, because of our tasks as “mommy bloggers.” I believed she was just trying to keep up with altering patterns as well as technologies for parents. When she accepted a infant Bullet infant food-making device for review, I did believe it was a bit strange since it’s the type of thing that takes up area in your house.

It includes all these incredible accessories, so there’s an aspect of “How can I resist?” Agreed?

And so we embarked on a collaborative infant food making session to put this thing to the test in my kitchen. having both made our own infant food in the past (but obviously utilizing different methods) we didn’t truly appropriate each other as we went along, leading to a lot of assumptions as well as flawed methods, each of us presuming the other person understood what she was doing.

This moment was the highlight. Heather believed she was about to provide a convincing presentation of exactly how the gadget is used. I cleaned up my kitchen area for the occasion.

Whoops.

Thanks to infant Bullet for sending their incredible infant food making set to Heather to ensure that she can feed her infant freshly pureed fruits as well as veggies. We believe the splattering was individual error as well as not a flaw in the product.
