St Patrick's Day Leprechaun Beard

Brody had so much fun with his Santa beard on a stick that we decided to make a leprechaun beard for St Patrick's Day.  The leprechaun beard is perfect for a photo booth prop or just to play around with, either way your kids will love it.

Here's how to make your own.

Step 1) Download the free beard template here.

Step 2) Print the template on orange cardstock or cut out the template and trace on to orange cardstock.

Step 3) Cut out orange beard

Step 4) Attach a thin dowel to the beard using Glue Dots or Glue Dots Strips.

I love this vanity from PB Teen! I even posted about it over a year ago.

Every time they send me a catalog I find something I am dying to buy. 

Do you do this too?

Pregnant With Twins: 37 Weeks

I am finally nearing the end of this pregnancy! Only a few more days until I get to meet these two little girls that have been growing inside of me. It's weird to think that in just a few short days my family is going to grow from three to five. It's even weirder to try and imagine how much our lives are going to change.

I am feeling a little nervous but mostly just excited. I don't feel so overwhelmed thanks to all the advice of mother's with multiples I have received, the books I have read, knowing we have lots of help from family, all the preparations we have made for the girls arrival and knowing what a blessing this is.

I am not going to lie, at this point in my pregnancy it is HARD! Everyday it gets a little harder too. Last week my doctor measured me and I am measuring 49 weeks. 49 weeks!
Just moving from room to room is painful let alone trying to do anything else. Oh and the pregnancy carpal tunnel, I can't wait for that to go away! My hands are painfully numb the majority of everyday.

What do you pack in your hospital bag?

Pregnant With Twins: 35 Weeks

Only TWO more weeks until my c-section!
Besides me feeling extremely uncomfortable my doctor says the babies and I are doing great. I could really go into labor at any time, but my doctor thinks I will most likely make it to my scheduled c-section.

I have pretty much everything all ready except a few things for my hospital bag but they are things I use daily and won't pack until I have to. I figure it's best to be as ready as possible considering I won't really know what to expect with twin babies until they are here.

I only have 1 more doctor appointment and 1 non stress test left!

Moms of twins and multiples, what advice do you have for me?

I Am

Listening to- Some Nights by Fun.
Even though my husband probably wouldn't admit this, he loves this song and plays it frequently.

Watching- The Riches
Did you ever catch the 2007-2008 TV series? I am just barely watching it now.

Reading- On Becoming Baby Wise
Since it has been four years since I have had a baby I am re-reading Baby Wise to reacquaint myself with getting a baby on a good sleeping schedule.

Cooking- I have been horrible about cooking lately. It just wears me out and pregnant belly keeps getting n the way.

Looking forward to- having my babies in three weeks (unless I go into labor early)!
