DIY Hair Bow or Bow Tie Tutorial
Hey there! While doing some shopping at the local fabric store the other day I came across this adorable popsicle fabric and I had to have it! So I thought how could I not make a cute little bow with it since we are celebrating All Things Popsicle Week?These bows are so incredibly easy to make and what's great about them is they can be used either as a bow tie for a little boy or a hair bow for a little girl! In my case I will be doing both!
Here's what you'll need:
1. I used a piece of fabric cut into an 8 x 6 rectangle for the bow tie and 6 x 4 for the bow. You can experiment to see which size works best for you. Then fold in the pieces of fabric as seen in the first image below.
2. Then fold the other ends in so they meet again. (The scissors are just holding them down so I could snap the picture)
3. After it has been folded go ahead and turn it over and pinch down the center of the bow.
4. Then sew the middle with a needle and thread a couple of times through all of the layers.
5. After the bow is secured you'll want to cut a small piece of fabric to use as the loop for the bow. Again, see what size works best for you by testing it around the bow.
6. Once you have the apprpriate size go ahead and sew it shut in a circular form. Make sure there is enough room to pull the bow through. It isn't pictured, but you will want to flatten out one side of the bow and pull it through the ring.
7. Next stick you hair clip or bowtie clip in and you can use a little fabric glue to keep it in place.
8. All done!
Wasn't that easy? I am in love! You will definitely be seeing my kiddos in some cute little hair bows and bow ties.

Ha! I can completely relate since from time to time Sienna calls me "Mommy Princess."
Two really is the cutest age to listen and laugh :)

Mommy & Me Time
1/2/3
Giving birth to Daniel was one of the most bittersweet times in my life. It was and is truly a blessing to have such an amazing little boy brought into my life, but the beginning of life with les deux was a difficult time because I was forced to give up the alone time spent with my little Sienna. I chose to nurse Daniel as I had done with Sienna which was wonderful, but the downside to that was that I had to be the one to give Daniel most of his primary care. Danny definitely took control and helped with Sienna and now their father-daughter bond is stronger than ever and needless to say, Daniel is attached to my hip :)

This past week Sienna and I were fortunate to have not one, but two mommy and me dates. This was the first time since Daniel was born where we actually were able to go and do something fun, just the two of us. Of course we occasionally will get to run an errand together or we have our weekly baby ballerina class, but this was quality time spent together.
First Thursday morning, we went to see the new Madagascar Live show at Busch Gardens which was a great time! Then on Sunday I took her to see our first Disney on Ice show which was absolutely magical. I am so grateful to have my two beautiful babies, but this past week made me realize how important it is to spend some quality one on one time with each child.
Love you baby girl!
