Tot Tuesday: Valentines:Tantrums:Pretty Printables

Welcome to Tot Tuesday!
 Take what you will and 

share what you want.

Hope you enjoy the 1st post for Tot Tuesday.

Let us know what you think!

Valentines Day is coming soon and 
it is time to start thinking hearts!!!

I just love the idea from Blonde Designs!
Super cute felt envelopes on the
 back of the chair waiting to be filled with 
love notes from mommy and daddy. 
This is a fun idea for the 14 days 
leading up to Valentines don't you think?

She purchased hers but I think it

would be a simple DIY.

All you need is red and white felt,

 ribbon to glue to the back to tie to the chair, 

red twine or embroidering thread for the stitches, 

of course scissors and a sewing machine or glue.

Would be a fun tradition to start for every year!

These are so cute and simple to do...Here is a tutorial 

from the Design Mom.

Baby Whispering Secrets

Ok so if you are a new mommy and you were freaking out like I did, here is something that really saved my sanity! I did the EASY plan! Everything you need to know about it is in this book right here! "Secrets of a Baby Whisperer"There is also a forum you can join and ask questions as well as connect with moms following the EASY plan! There is a ton of advice on it, most of the time someone else had already asked the question I wanted to ask and I was just able to read the advice that was given to them! Here is a link to the forum.

My Favorite Toddler things

So these are my favorite sippy cups so far! We started using them about a month ago and so far they don't leak at all (unless you forget to put the stoppers in)! These are the only ones I have found so far that really don't leak! They are suggested for 12m+ and I can see that because they are a little fat so its hard for a smaller baby to hold them. They are playtex insulator cup. You can randomly find them at Target's "through Saturday Sales" for a two pak for $4.99.
