I started back on WW a week ago JUST BECAUSE OF THE FEBRUARY DISMEET!! And thanks to you all I lost 5.4 lbs! I am telling you this so I will have to be accountable to you and I MUST STICK WITH IT THIS TIME!!!

Congrats!!!! That's wonderful! I'm 11 pounds down (goal is 20 before Disney)...so I have 6 1/2 weeks to lose 9 pounds!!! Yikes I'm going to stop WW and do South Beach for two weeks to jump start my system. Two weeks w/o caffeine and carbs...I'm going to be a monster!!!!

Ok. Here are some pics from the party. My MIL just e-mailed me. I haven't had a chance to upload my dad's or my camera.

Oh it looks like you had so much fun!

Elisa, I'm thinking maybe binder clips would work for making those cards?

Also- proud of you for learning to snorkel! I did it at Discovery Cove but I kept getting excited and wanting to go down closer to see something-- and then getting a mouthful of salt water.

I wear contacts and for some reason thought that the mask allowed water in near your eyes.. but now I know that it doesn't work that way...LOL I'm excited to go now...if only I knew how to walk in those flipper things you put on your feet...LOL

Weith losing ladies:

I don't usually post about stuff like this, cause I don't want people to think I'm a weirdo hippy or something, but have you already or have you considered taking all of the HFCS and Hydrogenated oils out of your diets?

Artificial sweeteners are one of the things that Riley has to avoid and in the process I read up and learned a lot about HFCS (High Fructose Corn Syrup) and it is some nasty stuff. It makes you crave more and more and more.........

We recently got back on track after a week of eating too much junk and I can't even tell you the difference I see in the way my girls eat when they have "detoxed." I can make anything with real sugar and while it sounds good and we like it, it isn't the same as when we have HFCS in our systems and we think we're gonna die if we don't get something sweet! Drew ASKED for salad for dinner last night and lunch today.

We'll never be able to cut it out 100%. I won't make my kids live like hermits, but I can sure tell when I haven't been careful enough. I can sooooo tell the difference in myself too. I made peanut butter cookies (my favorite!!!!) and the batch lasted a week and I think I ate 2. That is not like me! I'm the girl who just can't back away from the cookies!!!

When we originally did this, I lost 10 pounds just because. I didn't change anything else. It has also given me the control to eat better when I need to drop a few here and there. You'll be amazed where you find that nasty stuff when you start looking for it.

I can help you find stuff without it if anyone is interested.

Heard about the HFCS but not the oils...gotta check that one out. My problem is that we don't eat sweets (I'm a salty snack kinda gal) but you don't realize what's actually in some of the stuff you are eating. Like the popcicle that i had the other day with "sugar alcohol" in it...what is that??? (googled it...turns out to be like splenda)

I just found your thread today and I am in love with all of you! I don't sew much, but I'm totally inspired!
I LOVE your rules in the top post (no apologies, etc), I think I found a new favorite thread!

A little while ago I got a familiar knock on the door. It was the children that I babysit and they tell me that I have to babysit another little girl that I don't particularly care for. Grrrr was my first reaction. So I go over as calmly as I can and talk to the mother of the children that I normally babysit and she informs me that the little girl's mom has run away and the dad doesn't know where she is. Of course I felt bad for her and she is staying here tonight. I just don't like it that this was sprung on me at the very last minute. For right now they are all sitting quietly watching The Lizzie McGuire Movie. I need some magic sent my way that they will stay quiet tonight.

Pixie dust for you...and this poor baby

Not having a lot of time at the moment going to go back and read later tonight I just wanted to share. http://home.disney.go.com/shopping/ Has their pjs for 5.99.

Hi I just found this thread and love it! Unfortunately I don't sew, but would love to! I did buy a machine last year, that just sits on my floor

Anyway, what made me post was MegaWoman. I patch my duaghter' eye and did it daily back when she was 2 and up. She is now 9 (and a half, as she tells me!) I was able to get a patch and then made quite a few others, that slipped over her glasses. She HATES the patches that stick to the skin. The patches that I made had butterflies, tink.... just about anything... hopefully this helps a little!

Hey there, I got back from visiting my parents in the country this weekend and I'm amazed at just how many STUNNING outfits have been posted! I'll try to do a multi quote later. Today was doctor appointment day for the kids. DD (Niamh) saw an Orthoptist. She already sees an Opthlamologist, and wears glasses, but today they recommended an eye patch as well. She starts Junior Kindergarten this fall, and now I'm thinking of waiting to send her to school until the following year. And she asked if I can sew her some patches - I had to tell her no, they need to be the sticky ones. Man, I feel like merde. I wore a patch, but I no longer needed it by the time I started Kindergarten. Kids can be really nasty, so I'm not sure what I'll do.

Anyway - lots of laundry to do after a great weekend at my parents. The drive home was awful. Cottage country traffic, rain and tired people. We didn't get home until 11pm - I really wish that my parents had moved closer to us. We're still a 4 hour drive away (towing a tent-trailer, no stops.)

(Is the disMeet really gonna happen in February? I've gotta convince DH?)

We had some black outs in Brooklyn and we spent over 26hrs with no lights!!! we could not sleep it was so hot and I had to trow away everything in my refrigerator...
Just when I get in my sewing mood again, the light power is so weak that i cannot have more than 2 or 3 appliances running at a time

Denise: I live far from green point but is only a train way, so you are invited to my place anytime you come to NY, (maybe we could sneak to Atlantic City for a girl night out ) Hope that Riley is doing much better

Crystal: Love the beaded bowl If only I had your talent!!! sending you and I hope you have a quiet night tonight

Love all the outfits posted I keep telling you gal that I am SO, SO jealous of all you that have princesses

Heather: Love the outfit!!

Well the batteries in Laptop are dying... so keep sewing ladies (and Gents)

That looks great..she is sure to get lots of attention.

The dress looks great, and Molly is so adorable! Isn't 5 year old funny? I have an almost 5 year who does all kind of interesting pose as well.

I love how that turn out!

Very cute. I bought that green pooh bear fabric and it it is still sitting there since I had no idea what to do with it.

Your boys are adorable..love those Wall-E shirts. Did you use Wall-E panels, or is that embroidered/appliqued? Love how it looks!

That looks great! She is going to love it.

Thank you...are the patterns on YCMT easy to follow? I haven't purchased one yet. Do you need a ruffler for the top???

I love YCMT patterns, very easy to follow especially ones by CarlaC, and I recently bought some by Sewsensible and it is pretty good as well!

Love them! Great job!! I'm hoping to make a matching outfit for my daughter and her stuffed alligator soon.

I love making my kids matching outfits..I am pretty sure soon they won't want ot be matching, so I am taking the opportunity to make as many as i can now.

Very cute and love the Strawberry Shortcake outfit..my dd loves Strawberry shortcake.

It came out great! What patter did you use for that white jacket or is that part of the dress?

It's part of the dress..I use CarlaC peasant top/dress pattern.

I didn't I signed up ages ago for JoAnn's coupons and haven't gotten a singe one yet . I think I need to re-sign up.

No, I never get the JoAnn e-mails. I'll have to sign up again!

I get Joann's coupon all the time, but never get Hancock. I keep signing up but still don't get them.

Do you have a Party City by you? I think they might have them.

That looks great!!! You look great in that outfit, too!!

I started back on WW a week ago JUST BECAUSE OF THE FEBRUARY DISMEET!! And thanks to you all I lost 5.4 lbs! I am telling you this so I will have to be accountable to you and I MUST STICK WITH IT THIS TIME!!!

I just started back on WW again as well couple weeks ago after re-joining...who knows how many times, and kept telling myself that I must stick to it and no more quitting!!! Everytime I quit, I gain some..and now I need to lose at least about 25 lbs...!

 

[Tnkrbelle565]

oh thanks...that reminds me...nobody answered the 2nd part of my question. Do you need a ruffler for the Simply Sweet pattern on YCMT? I have rediculously old sewing machine (guess what I'm asking for for my bday???).

You walk backwards- then you don't trip. That is what they taught us in lifeguard training.

A little while ago I got a familiar knock on the door. It was the children that I babysit and they tell me that I have to babysit another little girl that I don't particularly care for.

Good luck tonight. I hope they stay quiet for you. You are a saint!

That is very cute. I hope that you can sell it. Surely you could get a pretty good amount for it.

 

[sohappy]

ohhh, ooohhh, pick me, pick me! I wanna play the random picture game! Here are some things I have in photobucket-

some pictures my parents had made of the boys-
a very southern picture

and one of us together (pic of a pic)

and just the boys- the snap right after this caught the boys kissing sooooo cute

Cooper when I straightened his hair (he decided he didn't want curls anymore). For the record, I LOVE the curls

A few pics from the 4th

some treats for Jackson's halloween party at school (apples, pb, and marshmallows)

Jackson on his first day of preK (look how little- those are 3T shorts and he still wears them!!)

Cooper just before the guests arrived for his first birthday party- think he got into the cupcakes?

Jackson at my sister's wedding

OK enough randomness- back to your regularly scheduled program.

If you are bored- check out my trip report- Just updated today!! I don't know how to change the title when I update, sorry.

That is soooo cute. If it were mine, I wouldn't know if I would be able to part with it. I tried to think of something, anything, to do with the dwarfs for a boy. In the end, I thought of nothing.

Heather, I learned to use the thumbnail just for you!

 

[LisaZoe]

OK and even though I should not get myself in this mode I will. Did you do customs if you had an infant in the park with you? And if you did what would you do for a 5 month old?

I think a onsie with matching shorts (or skirt for a girl) would be really cute and simple. The onsie could have a Mickey silhouette of the fabric from the shorts.

HEY GUYS GUESS WHAT??? The Robin+5 give is almost full!!!

I picked up the tees for the family tonight. I was able to get the favorite colors for most of them but couldn't find any dark purple. I'm considering dying a blue tee to see how it comes out.
