Rocket ship

So while Eli was Pudding Painting I set up my little brother Ray with a painting area of his own. Just like with Eli I set up the area in a storage bin again it was super easy clean up. After he was done I just took it to the bath tub and washed it out.

Now Ray used washed able paint and a wooden rocket ship I got for $1 at wal-mart

I just put paper into the bottom of the bin for him to paint of and put the paint on a glass plate

Sorry for the bad pic

See it's a cute little rocket ship

Pudding Paint

So I wanted something for my Eli (14month) to be able to do. I was looking for some fun easy ways for him to make stuff for us to send to his dada or just do around the house and one of the things I found was Pudding Paint. It's so easy to make and it's safe for him to eat . (He likes to put stuff in his mouth so whatever we do it has to be safe to eat

What you need is..
Pudding mix ( I got vanilla )
Milk
Food coloring ( you can use whatever color or make new colors)
Bowls ( How ever many colors you have you will need a bowl for each)
something to mix it with.
paper

SO start off by making the pudding mix in a large bowl.

Put into different bowls ( I think I did 1/4 in each bowl)

Add the food coloring. ( I didn't count the drops. Just put till you
get the color you want.

Set up the painting area ( I have a storage bin he  an fit into)

Now just let them paint :)

See everything must go into his mouth 

He was super sticky after he got done but nothing a quick shower couldn't fix. With using the storage bin for him it was a super fast and easy way to clean everything back up.... The colors did come out pretty pastel and had kind of a yellow tint but that was due to the pudding. If you have older kids or you want to change the flavor of the pudding you can also add extracts to it.

I really hope everyone gets a chance to try this with their little ones you can start this kind of painting at a pretty young age and like I said he had a blast.

If you would like to see the AWESOME website that I got this idea from here is the link http://www.playcreateexplore.com/2011/10/painting-with-puddiing.html

There's all kinds of ideas on there. If you get a chance to try pudding paint let me know what you used and how it turned out.

Have a wonderful and fun day everyone.

Mama Snack.

Yep these are the words my little nurser said to me as he was playing. Right before he came over and pulled my shirt down to nurse.

 He loves his booby milk :)

We had a crazy start with Breast Feeding. Eli couldn't latch when he was born we tried over 2 hrs to try and get him too but he couldn't so I had to pump and put it into a bottle so DH could feed him. Not being able to feed my baby myself was so hard for me. I about caved and gave him formula ( Gasp I know) I am 100% probreast milk. After we came home he latched perfectly and I was one happy mama. 14 months later and we are still breastfeeding and alot. He loves to nurse and I love to nurse him.. I'm breastfeeding till Eli is ready to stop.. I even pump and freeze so that if I get sick or have to go somewhere he still has milk to drink. . The best thing I can tell other mama's who want to breast feed is don't ever give up no matter how hard it might seem it's so worth it in the end to have that special bond with your baby.


Forever N Always

Deployment #2

So DH left for his 2nd deployment on the 21st and Our son came home with the tummy bug that got passed around to everyone else in our house. On top of that I'm super achy all over plus I have a bad cough and I can't breath with my nose.. I still have a achy heart from where I miss my DH. That should go away soon hopefully. I haven't got a email in 2days so that's hurting too.

I need to go bye

Happy Feb 1

I know I haven't posted lately and I'm so sorry about that. I've been super busy with having my son and then my husband has been home on weekends.... Last weekend he was driving  and hit a huge something covered in ice and it ripped off 2/3 of the bumper and then smashed in his radiator and messed u everything to do with the AC.  So I've had to deal with trying to get that fixed.

 I really do hope to blog more and to blog more about the deals I get with coupons and new product I've gotten and will be trying. I'm also looking to do a make up swap with someone this summer so if you would like to swap with me just leave me a comment. :) I also have a line of review coming out very soon. I wanted to post some this weekend but I have to go to VA. I may do a post of things I saw up there. If there is anything you want me to review just leave  me a comment and let me know and I will do my best to get the post up. Also feel free to share my blog I know it's not the best but I would love to get it out there. 

I have to go now but I'll be back soon. :)
