Have You Ever....?

Have you ever wanted to decorate for the holidays, but just didn't do it?

I have. I don't have many decorations, but I wanted to put out something for Valentine's Day. Aaaand I didn't... Bummer. The day came and went in the blink of an eye. I'll tell you what I did do though. I made a printable. Yeah, like the cute things you see all over Pinterest. It isn't so great, but it was fun to play around with. Here, see for yourself.

Someday, I'll be able to make some just as good as the ones on Pinterest.

Tom tried his hand at a Valentine Printable too. See?

He's so romantic...

Have you ever made a baby blanket with no previous sewing experience?

I have. I have been bound and determined to make a baby blanket all through my pregnancy. But who has never sewn on a sewing machine before (without a master seamstress' supervision)? Oh, that's right. This girl.  I was stubborn enough to give it a try. The finished product is far  from perfect, but it is made with a mother's love. That's all that counts, right? I took a bunch of pictures, but here's just one for now. Maybe I'll grace you with a tutorial-type post sometime. Maybe.

Have you ever wanted to make curtains for the baby's bedroom, with still no sewing experience?

I have. I have yet to start this project though... It's a little more daunting than a baby blanket.

Have you ever had a 2nd, 2nd Anniversary?

I have. Tom and I celebrated our two year anniversary the end of February. We decided to split the celebrations up into two parts so we could each have a chance to surprise the other. It was a brilliant idea on my husband's part. Maybe next year, we can split it into 3 parts... then after that, 4.... and by the time we're 75, we will have a lot of days to celebrate!

Have you ever had your husband log into your blog and write the true feelings of his heart?

I have. That is what the previous post is all about. I hope some of you get a kick out of it. I did.

Have you ever thought that "cubed steak" was, in fact, meat cut into cubes?

I have. And it's not. Whoops. I'm not sure what I was thinking... Pregnancy brain got in the way I guess. Good news is, our smothered burritos turned out fine. Though next time I'll make sure to use stew meat. I got the recipe from Pinterest, but here's the link to the actual blog. It was a hit with the hubby!

Have you ever taken a few "baby bump" pictures on your phone and been so dissatisfied with how you looked that you didn't want to post them for anyone to see, but your mom and her friends kept bugging you about wanting to see "how cute you look" and so you gave in?

I have. This one is for your mom.

26 weeks

31 weeks

I'm at 34 weeks now and feeling great! Only 6 more to go...

And, have you ever wanted to keep writing, but didn't have anything else to say?

I have.
