Bowtastic Day!

I think we all know I'm a sucker for hairbows! BIG, beautiful, perfectly loopy hairbows! Avery has no shortage of them. (well actually she does... she still needs aqua, turquoise and a new red one... I lost hers!) BUT you get the point. I love hairbows. She has a lot of them. Over 85 to be exact.... and no... I don't feel it's excessive. A girl needs options. It's kinda her "thing." She told me so.

I get 2 questions asked VERY frequently when out in public.

1. Where did you get her car seat cover? (Answer... babycovers2010 on etsy)

2. Where do you buy her bows?

Answer: Lots of places!

Hobby Lobby. Hairbow Depot on etsy. MissyPrissyBowBoutique on facebook (etsy has thousands!).... I've also made some but I've found a site where you can actually buy them cheaper than you can make them! I present you:

POLKA DOT POSIES!

Their bows are $3 and under! CRAZY CHEAP! Now through September 5th, they're offering 20% off their already silly cheap prices with the promo code laborday20! I seriously have no idea how this company is making money but I'm thrilled to have found it! I love their bows, headbands and corkers. I'm now in love with the nylon headbands instead of the crocheted ones. This website sells them for $1! Insane. I've stocked up and will definitely be ordering more... those 6 1/2 inch bows (see the 1st picture) are ADORABLE! I'll admit, they're a bit too big for Avery right now but at the rate she's growing, she'll grow into them in now time! They are; however, a PERFECT size to clip to hats! (see below)

At $1-$3 per bow, you too can have an 85+ bow collection! I'll warn you... they're addicting and you too will be back to order bigger ones once you see how precious they are! :)

Have a bowtastic day!

Blog Neglect

Blog... I have missed you! It's been 7 whole days and every day I've thought about you! I've been super busy during the day and I can't seem to stay up past 9pm lately!

Parker and I have been walking the 4 mile creek trail every other day which feels amazing! I love getting out and walking! The very best part is that we walk 2 miles to Starbucks, get a treat, use the potty and turn around and come back. It's the quickest 4 miles when you've got lots to talk about with great friends... and the sbux stop helps too! Parker loves it because he gets to see lots of doggies run by and I bribe him with suckers. The last 2 times I've gone we've seen a deer. Who doesn't love a baby deer?

My picture taking has been at an all time low! Parker had a reaction again to chili pepper and his whole face is covered in a terrible rash. It's been 8 days now and it's better but not gone. Of course we have family pictures being taken Sunday! I hope the company is ready for LOTS of retouching! haha. I FINALLY got Parker's hair cut today! His stranger anxiety has made it super difficult. We've walked out of 3 places. I broke down today and took him to Pigtails and Crewcuts for a $21 haircut. GULP! I'm so glad I did, though. They literally held him down in the airplane until he stopped freaking out. Eventually he caught bubbles and watched Toy Story. I'm SOO glad they didn't let me leave. He did great after his 1-2 minutes battle with the stylist. Speaking of styling.... the cut is great and I'm very pleased but check out this styling....

I can't stop laughing at him. Of course he thinks it's hilarious and laughs right along with me. He has no clue why I'm laughing but he chimes right in.

Guess who will be getting a bath to remove the half bottle of gel in his hair?!  Bahaha. Love him.

Random tidbit... Barney has taught him to sneeze. He walks around the house fake sneezing and laughing at himself. It's hilarious. He did it over and over at dinner with my parents for attention. The second the conversation turned to something other than him, he'd sneeze and we'd all laugh. The silver lining... he uses his sleeve or a napkin to cover it. I can sing the Barney song in my sleep... "Keep your sneeze to yourself. Don't share your germs with anyone else. Get a tissue off the shelf and keep your sneeze to yourself."

Lastly, I have to share my craftings! I've been busy sewing burp cloths, making bows and playing with ribbon.  All things girly! Here are a few pictures of some things I've made so far.

I'll try to be better about updating this! I love my dear blog! Better go clean the house now... that too has been neglected at the expense of long walks, sewing and playdates!
