Girl's Night Out
My girlfriends from college and I have been planning a girl's night out weekend for months. It's finally arrived! We're taking a weekend to stay a night in San Francisco. I made these "party favors" for us. It was very simple and took less than 5 minutes to make. I used the Post-it Pop-up Notes Dispenser for 3 x 3-Inch Notes, Black Purse, Includes Green Post it
. I inscribed some writing on the bottom with a Silver Sharpie Metallic 4 PACK
, added ribbon and voila - a fast, easy, useful gift for under $10.

Baby Shower Mini-Album Guest Book Project Life Minikit
Here's the guest book for our cousin's baby shower. I copied Becky Higgins' idea here.
I kept the guest book after the shower and placed in pictures of the guests next to their comments, and presented the album to them at a later time...Here are some photos of how it turned out...
Here are some samples of the finished product... I used the kiwi mini-album with the childhood baby edition for him similar to this kit.

Getting Your Baby to Sleep Through the Night
I used The Baby Sleep Solution: A Proven Program to Teach Your Baby to Sleep Twelve Hours a Night
and On Becoming Baby Wise: Giving Your Infant the GIFT of Nighttime Sleep
by Ezzo. I like these books because they are very easy to read and follow and can be read in one sitting. They are based on getting YOU and your baby on a schedule. I'm the type of person that needs some sort of organization or routine and these books were really in line with my philosophy about parenting. The Babywise book talks about establishing a feeding and nap/sleep schedule, and the Baby Sleep Solution is more specific about nighttime sleeping and feeding. Both books have example schedules (that I used mainly as a guide), and have sample charts you can photocopy to implement your own schedule and keep track of. This was a perfect way for me to organize the feedings, naps, diapers, and bedtime routines, and helped me better understand my baby. In addition, I also got this Summer Infant Day and Night Digital Video Monitor
. Sleep training does involve some crying and I HAD to know what was happening in the room, so this video monitor helped ease my worries alot. I had read some parts of Ferber, Weisbluth, and Pantley, but I found that the books I suggested above, Giordano and Ezzo, were the simplest and easiest to follow and implement with my lifestyle as a working mommy. I couldn't have done this sleep training without the support of my husband and my pediatrician. My pediatrician said, "If you don't 'sleep train' them before they start walking, they will always be in your bed." That got my husband REALLY motivated! =)

Cleaning the Bathroom
I hate all the hairs that accumulate on the bathroom floor. My quick fix is using the Dirt Devil Kone. It only takes a few seconds to vacuum up all the hair on the bathroom floor in one clean sweep. This makes a huge difference in the overall 'clean' appearance of the bathroom. I also use the Scrubbing Bubbles shower cleaner. It really keeps the white spots and soap scum off the glass walls and door. I don't even need to use a squeegee. For the toilets, my husband uses these. Love ya Honey!

Essentials for Pumping at Work
I used this hands free pumping bra (I fit it right under my work clothes) with this Medela handsfree pump, and this nursing cover. These gerber bottles fit right onto the pump, so i pump directly into the bottles. Less washing. =)
