Big Bows Are My Thing!!!!

So I started making bows about a year ago for my niece, and a few others in my life. I now have a little girl and I am pretty sure I make a bow to go with every outfit that she has, maybe it is king of like an addiction, I just love creating and designing special ones for every occasion.

I not only make bows for my daughter but have now started a facebook page for others to order custom made bows, it gives me something fun that I like to do and creates a litte extra cash!

Come one by my fan page or this blog and start ordering today, also https://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Kitchs-Kiddie-Korner/121780464517735 CHeck back and I will be doing a short tutorial on one of my bows in a few days, have to get pictures ready to upload!

Baby Shower Fun

So I have planned baby showers before but never has one brought me so much joy as the one I just planned for my baby sister. When I found out she was pregnant not only was it so much joy for me to know that I was going to be previlaged with another niece or nephew but also that Jordan would now have a cousin a lil closer in age. Then we decided she needed to have a shower in Dodge for some of those who would not be able to travel the 4 hours to Topeka and so the planning began.

First it started with trying to find a invitaion, I am not a plan kind of person when it comes to creating things my whole heart goes into it expecially when it is for someone that I care so deeply for. So when I decided on the invite I was so excited. If I had all the nice equipment like a silouette cutter or a cricuit, a cuddlebug diecut cutter or many of the other that are out there (although would love a silouette as I have seen all the awesome work they can do) these would have been much easier to put together, but I had decided on it and they turned out so stinking cute.



So once the invites were done and sent out then the rest of the planning began, ok I had been planning at other times but main focus was invites until now. Luckily I had a wonderful 2nd lil sister who wanted to help and planned the game part for me, which was such a help since I am not as into the game part of showers. So I started getting ideas together for a diaper cake and as everyone knows I am so picky when it comes to things like this and I am very critical of my projects. I got everything together for the cake and only changed things 3 times, that is an accomplishment. In the end I liked the way it turned out although a few of the things I would have liked to as I could not figure out how to get them on the cake without ruining some diapers.


After all this was decided on all I had left was the gift, which I did not get a picture of. I found a diaper bag that perfectly matched the theme that my sis was going with and of course approved it with her and she loved it. I then stuffed it with all sorts of things, from blankets to pacifiers and other stuff that are needed in a diaper bag. We also made them a lil bit of artwork to hang in the babies room from his/her cousin Jordan and it turned out so cute, that I had to make me one as well otherwise I wouldn't have given it up!!


So these were the things that I did to make my sisters baby shower special for her, I had help doing alot of other stuff as well, my older sis did all the food for the shower and some dear friends of ours also helped cut food up and get items that were needed.

I have to say I am so excited for Amanda and Matt and I truly care deeply about both of them and it was such a pleasure to get to do this shower for them and spend time with them as well. I can't wait to meet my lil firecracker and see the joys on there faces when they welcome him/her to there family!!

Letter Kreations

So when I found out I was pregnant I really wanted to make letters to hang above my sons crib. I found letters and took lots of looking to find the stuff I wanted to go with the letters since we were doing the room camo, it was hard to find hunting stuff to go along. I think they turned out great though.



So after I did Jordan's letters I then did some letters for a friend of ours, who I don't have the picture for anymore since I lost alot of pictures when I had to restore my computer. Next were my niece and nephew and once again I enjoyed these so much because of the joy they brought to the people I gave them too.



And then others for differnt people around, and like I said this is just a sample of what I have done because I have lost so many pictures

Silly Things

So last night we were laying in bed and Brian started going through the pictures on his phone and there was all these ones of Jordans first few days in this world and emotional me starts crying. I know silly, but he is now 6 and 1/2 months old and I just don't know where the time has gone. I know wait until he is 18 and I am saying this again but I can't even think about that right now. Every parent wants there children to grow up and achieve all there dreams, but I think somewhere deep down you want them to stay lil and dependent on you for there every need. (or at least that is how I think now, maybe when he is terrorizing my house in a few more months that will change, but I'm not thinking so right now). He is what brings a smile to my face no matter how blue my day is, when he smiles and looks up at me with his big blue eyes it melts my heart. So I am sure I have many more years of tears even if it is over a few pictures!!!!

A Mother's Love!

A mother has undying love for her children. Her presence itself deeply affects the entire life of her little one. Our mother is the first woman in our life and cannot be replaced by anyone. When Jordan came into this world I never knew the kind of love I feel for him. I love Brian(my husband) with all my heart and to know end, but it is a different type of love than you feel for a child. Caring for a child is an all day job, sometimes you aren't able to get anything else done. I am fortunate to get to stay at home with Jordan and so naturally he is very attacted to his mom and doesn't do well when away from me. I am also nursing which makes our bond even stronger and also means that he needs me even more than if I was formula feeding. Everyone trys to tell you how to raise your children and different things you should do and it seems that if you aren't doing it like they say then it is the wrong way. I hear things from people all the time, some have no kids and some didn't nurse there kids. No matter what people tell you, you have to figure out your own way to raise your kids, there is no perfect way and everyone makes mistakes, but you have to learn from them which will only make your parenting experience even more special.

Jordan recieved his first booboo on sunday, (well really his second but the first wasn't his fault) Brian was in the shower and I was in the bedroom and Jordan was playing on the floor and all the sudden he started screaming, we think when he rolled over he banged his nose on the floor or ball because it was all red, he screamed for about 20 minutes and let me tell you I have never felt pain like that and I wasn't even the one hurt, I would have done anything to take the pain away from him but I couldn't just sit and hold him and walk around to calm him down, luckily for me it was a sunday and Brian was home to help or I proably would have been crying right along with him. I know it is the first of many, but it was still sad and I am not ready for another one yet. It just goes to show that a mother's love is special, that you would take the pain for them no matter how bad it is.

Jordan's smile lights up the room and when he smiles I smile, I can be having a bad day and to sit and play with my son makes any tears go away. When he let out the first laugh about 2 weeks ago, I couldn't stop laughing with him, we were changing his diaper and I was touching his toes to his nose and he just started laughing it was the most joyous sound I had ever heard, he was having such a good time and I just laughed right along with him. He is the light of my life and truly a gift from God. God blessed me with a wonderful, beautiful, healthy little boy and I am going to enjoy every moment that I have with him, no matter the cost. So me as a mother I choose to put my son first and enjoy the blessing that God has given me. Even if it seems demanding to others, it is not a demand for me but a joy that I am not willing to give up. A mother is and will always be a special women in her sons life and no one can ever take her place!
