Networking Mama!

Story goes, that a girl can glean a lot of great advice from her fellow mamas! It's so great hearing what other mom's discover through trial and error, and even better is it that we ENJOY sharing our knowledge!

I learned tonight that a little lanolin goes a long way...great for those sore nipples, but also works wonders on sore baby butts! Who knew?! Speaking of sore nipples (I do a little lactation consulting, also), a "miracle cream" (you'll thank me later) that you MUST try is, "All Purpose Nipple Ointment". Oh my, how it worked wonders on my traumatized nipples! You know, when you are at that point when the baby starts crying 'cuz she's hungry, you start crying right along with her 'cuz you know you're in for some major pain?! Yup, give it a shot (it is a prescription, so you'll need to find a knowledgeable provider). Like I said, you'll thank me later! :) Oh, and in case you're wondering, just 'cuz it's "all purpose", don't use it on your chapped lips...not that I'd know first hand...or anything.

Come here looking for the tutorial? It can be found here:  Halo Braid Tutorial!  Let me know how it goes! I had something in mind to try on Baby Girl's hair the other day...my best bud, Dr. J, did something similar to it on Belle once, and I was trying to replicate it. Instead, I got this: Isn't it pretty?! It didn't take nearly as long as it looks and isn't nearly as intricate as it looks! Vlog tutorial coming soon...(for those of you waiting, I'm sorry it's taking me so long!)

Halo Braid Tutorial!

How appropriate, "halo braid", no?! ;) Finally, I have this ready for you...I apologize for the delay! This braid looks intricate, but is really quite easy and quick to pull off...the original video (prior to the warp speed braiding...watch the video to see what I mean) was just a bit over 8 minutes long...not too shabby! So, here you go...right in time for you to try it out on your little girl for Easter!

Crock-Pot Fajitas

You! Yes, YOU!! You must stop whatevertheheck it is that you are doing, and make this recipe. Right now. Tonight. Well...wait. You should probably finish reading this post first...you know...so you know how to make it... But then...STOP! STOP everything, make this, and thank me later! Oh, hold it...wait just a sec (again)...actually, I got this recipe from Melissa...yes, the Melissa of this story ! And this story ...which, well...is the same story, just told two different ways! ;) So, you can thank her...I guess. Well, in any event...prepare your tastebuds to be tantalized! You'll need this: And, this: You'll also need chicken breasts or steak, but since photographing your "main ingredient" is, like, soooo passe, I've left it out. ( Ahem... ) Just keepin ' up with the times, friend. So...slice up those peppers and onions into cute little strips... And...try your best to not slice up the little fingers that are sneaking away pepper strips... (Lemme just inte
