Arts Fest

Our town every year has a big arts festival downtown and one a few miles away. It's a great time.

Now that she is older we insist on her walking and not riding in a stroller. She does not like this. Princess states her little legs can't do it. That there's not enough miles on her legs :-) 

Today she walked the entire time with us without complaint! Win! She's growing up right before our eyes.

We had a great time ate ice cream and funnel cake along with seeing some really awesome artists. We bought some cards that we are turning into a collage of pictures. 

I'll post that when we start it. I'm excited.

What things do you do to help your child walk and not rely on a stroller as they age?

Hello Hobbies: Granny Square Style

After finishing my future nephews blanket I decided that my own child needs a handmade blanket. I had been seeing granny squares everywhere and thought about just making a bunch of random squares then eventually putting them together.

So off to youtube and my favorite crocheter Bobwilson123 I learned the granny square! It was right up my ally not having to always count too much and she also showed us that you could continue the square as long as you like in order to make it bigger.

Ahh happy times.

The blanket started out as a purple square that grew to blue. Princess has an obsession with Frozen so I had to add Elsa blue :-)

Then I got into it and added this extra yarn I had  laying around that was purple, blue and pink. After that one row I went back to alternating blue and purple.

This is what I have done so far. I will continue to grow it with purple for the rest.  If she was a baby this would be a perfect size. What do you think??? Not bad for firs time. 

Doctor On Demand ...My experience...Giveaway

***This is a sponsored post/conversation on behalf of Doctor On Demand. All opinions are my own.***

I had an opportunity to try out the Doctor On Demand app. The app itself is free and you can download it from iTunes or Google Play.  I was a little skeptical to try this out as how could a doctor help me or my family via an app?

• All doctors are US licensed and board certified
• Cost is $40 (sometimes cheaper then co-pays)
• All doctors are background checked before joining Doctor on Demand
• Real time with or with out video
• Dr. Phil is an adviser and his son Jay McGraw is co-founder of this app

I chose to speak with one of their doctors about my migraine that I woke up with on July 4th. The app asks you a few questions such as who is this visit for, what are the issue(s), current medications and your basic demographics.

 It then gives you a general wait time and what number you are in line. I waited about 5 minutes. Not bad for a holiday!

I was then connected to one of their doctors who made sure that I could hear him properly. I did this through my cell phone.

(the above was not my doctor but the screen was the same)



The doctor verified the things I had submitted and asked for a little background.  Not once did I feel rushed or like an inconvenience to my doctor. He was very professional, nice and knowledgeable. I even learned some new things about my migraines and the medications I take for them that I did not previously know. It was great! I tend to have random health things a lot so this was very convenient.



At the end of our "visit" he made sure I understood what we talked about and if I needed anything else. Once the session was closed I was asked to rate and review my doctor. You are also given the option to favorite a doctor for future reference if they are available.



I had a great experience and would in fact use it again. Mind you this is not for any life threatening uses or serious injuries. 911 is always best for that.

Some common uses are:

• Upper Respiratory Infection
• Cold
• Cough
• Influenza
• Nasal Congestion
• Lab Interpretation
• Allergies
• Fever

Please visit their website for more information about appropriate and not appropriate uses.

Pinterest Project: Frozen Birthday Party Invitations

My one and only will be 6 in a few weeks and requested a Frozen themed party! I have been scouring Pinterest for ideas and have come across some great ones!

First I found a free pattern made by Mom Endeavors for her party invitations! I love them as they look like movie theater tickets. Mom Endeavors designed it and told you what fonts to use. I was able to add our information to it for free with PicMonkey. I also had left over invite paper from the baby shower so I just printed them out on our home printer!

Score! Free invites that are awesome! [sorry didn't want our address or phone number out there :-) ]

Not sure what I am going to do decoration/game wise. I am thinking of pin the nose on Olaf and probably some kind of bunting/banner.

I am not a good baker so we will order Frozen cupcakes from the store. I know, I know but trust me the tears that would come from me when I messed it up would not be worth it.

This Past Week

Sorry I have been a bad blogger this week. It has been crazy at work. Alas I will be out and about so to speak on this blog in the next few days :-)

Hold tight please :-)  On a side note the baby shower we threw for my sister in law last weekend was pretty awesome! I loved the theme.

We used the little red wagon as the theme. I bought all of the things for the theme from Bee and Daisy on Etsy.com.

I don't want to infringe on Bee and Daisy so trust me when I say it was cute! 

This is the favors and favor holder :-) my Mom made for the party
