Join me on a Disney Jungle cruise ✨

Ok, so I just got the babies elephant in today, love it! Next the giraffe and 70" snake, I love that these animals are bigger then my baby! Love it too cute! We are going to use it for his room and birthday decor... We are doing the jungle cruise theme which I love! I have been thinking of other decorations to put up and decided I needed jungle trees!!! What better way to decorate?! So, I decided I am going to wrap and turn my two posts to my patio into jungle trees! Ok, I have been thinking, how can I pull this off? Well I was at work and I was getting some things for an activity when I noticed the construction paper. Then it hit me! We make trees all the time in class rooms! Here is my rundown on how to make a jungle tree or regular tree... You need brown butcher paper, stapler, marker which is optional, green tissue paper and scissors. Jungle tree: mark quick lines up & down the paper add a few swirls on the trunk of the tree (here is where the marker is optional), Kringle the butcher paper a little and cut slits at top and bottoms of your trees and then twist each cut of the paper at both ends this will be the branches and roots of the tree. You can do the leaves two ways order them from oriental trading or make them outta tissue paper. The leaves are easy you can cut some out or Kringle a bunch of tissue paper. That's it! Another quick DIY Jungle tree✨✨✨

From pacifier holders to birthday prep...

Ok, so once again I'm up late making Disney theme universal pacifier holders. On top of my new hot item to my baby boutique I'm getting my etsy up and going so my MouseWait friends/family and others can find and purchase them more easily. On a different note I learned how to make my own Birthday Banner!!! Just a helping DIY if you need to make one... All you need is 13 sheets of card stock for base circles, 7 sheets decorative paper, 4 sheets of contrasting plain paper and 4 sheets of any color for your lettering. You will need 3 bowls I did a 6 1/2-inch, 5-inch, 4-inch for my circles, pencil to trace your pattern, decorative scissors, hole punch, regular craft glue, and thin ribbon to string it all together and hang. It's really simple I printed out 4 in. Lettering cut and traced it on my good paper then cut out my letters. I then used the bowls to trace and cut 13 circles each size out. As the bowl got smaller I was able to use less paper. I cut all three sizes of circles using decorative scissors which took some time so be patient at this part. After cutting everything I used regular Elmer's glue cause that is what I had around the house. Try to brush it on in a thin layer or smooth it over so it doesn't get to wet and mess up your papers. When layering I just eyed it to the center of each circle and same with the letters. After letting everything dry completely I used the hole punch and put two holes up at the top of each circle then ran my ribbon through it. I used another contrasting color ribbon with it to decorate it with a knot or bow between each letter to keep the letters spaced out and where they should be this keeps your letters from bunching in the center when hung up. Oh I also tied a loop at each end so it can easily be tacked up. That's it! Loved the way it came out for my first time making a banner loved it!!! Hope this helps anyone trying a DIY banner or like me a theme that doesn't have any party supplies to.

Chocolate pretzels?

So, I have been working with chocolate lately trying new ideas for the baby's 1st birthday. If your looking to work with chocolate use dark and or white chocolate for two reasons it sets better and milk chocolate melts fast. I currently fell in love with my moms chocolate covered pretzels. The pretzels are a really cute decor at birthday party's and baby showers plus really easy to make here ya go easy to follow recipe: 2 bags of jumbo pretzel sticks will make a little over 40 pretzels and 2 1/2 lbs. of dark chocolate, 1 1/2 lbs. of white chocolate, one bag of Worthers soft Carmel bites... Hand roll the Carmel bite then wrap it around the pretzel. Heat/melt your dark chocolates dip your Carmel covered pretzels half way then place on parchment paper. Melt the white chocolate and drizzle over all the pretzels it's purely decorative... But that's it very easy! Just thought I would share and from experience don't use milk chocolate when it comes a lot of the DIY projects it melts and doesn't set up (firm up) it melts and ends up messy. Love it!

Delicious Date

Have you ever wanted something and someone talks you out of it for whatever reason? Well I wanted to get the baby his Mickey Mouse in the house highchair that goes with his diaper bag, swing & playard... I got talked out of it a month or so ago and now that collection is discontinued to make room for 2012s new line... Ugh I hate when I listen to people now I can not find it anywhere...how sad for me... Well now I need a highchair & like always I don't like anything at all... You would think they would have some cute stuff for boys but they don't! On a better note! Looks like we might be hitting the parks next month... Yay Me!!! I have not gotten a chance to enjoy an adult dinner so looks like its time for a reservation for Blue Bayou! I have had some DL clam chowder last visit I do recommend it makes a great lunch. I also recommend Big Thunder Ranch BBQ best food loved the chicken & let me tell ya I hate chicken with a skin & bone but, this chicken was Great! They also had my sons & nephews birthday cake ready to go as they began to sing and party guest were all pleased with their meal & service! I would do another birthday there again! Any who love that it's that time again time to visit my favorite place ever! Disneyland!!!

First Easter...ready... set... Go!

Ok, so our trip to Disneyland was rescheduled to a different weekend. I guess it's best for Amir to have his first Easter at home, Isaiah prefers Disneyland then being home but oh well can't win them all. I love getting things ready, making two Easter baskets has been so much fun. If you need ideas for an infants Easter basket here's what I put in his basket: two Disney plates, two starter sippy cups, infant spoon & fork, can't forget his Easter bunny, and last I always put swim shorts with matching tank top. I, no matter what age always put swim shorts or/and pool toys in baskets. Pool & swim stuff always makes for a great filler and can be great at any age. plus swim shorts get lost, miss placed or borrowed an never returned. As for my oldest who recently turned 10 years I put puzzles, new color markers an Disney color books for our long drives, swim shorts, three candy eggs, a water bottle for the parks, and the teacher in me gave him some chapter books for reading. Major tip: When making Easter baskets Do Nor buy the basket bags! They Never fit! Stick to the roll of clear color wrap 😃 If your still having trouble with infant Easter basket put things they need (cups, plates, clothes, teethers, swim suit and swim ring) and get rid of candy use teething cookies or Gerber treats.

My new beginning!

Love being a mom! I just had a new little guy thank God for after 10years he blesses me with a new little guy we happily named Amir Antonio Singh! Amir meaning Prince and Antonio after my beloved grandpa who sadly passed before his arrival 🚼 Love my new little guy this past month (4mo) he learned to roll over and has been teething like crazy! I am still trying to get back in the groove of things at work and balancing family life. We also just became Annual Pass Holders at Disneyland! Which means lots of Disney trips this year and we just booked a visit for the summer to go to Disneyland & to check out for the first time the San Diego Zoo! Trip tip #1 for infants if it rain during your trip at Disneyland wear water resistant shoes when it rains cause the wheels from the stroller leave your poor little feet cold & wet...lol

Sorry for the small hiatus!

Busy end of year and school semester for me but time to get back in the swing of things. Let me know if anyone needs a custom baby blanket, tutu, or hair bows!

Here is some more work hope you like!
