My "What were they thinking?"question.

This week I will be at 11 weeks. I am finally out of the tired always queezy stage. That is room for celebration. I do have one question though. Why in the world do the prenatal vitamins have to be so darn big?! I, not unlike every other pregnant woman, have a very sensitive gag reflex. I have now tried about four or five different prenatal vitamins and they either taste unbearable and/or are almost to big for me to swallow. I take my pills right at bedtime and its always a battle. Calcium pills are also huge in case you didn't know. I found one prenatal vitamin that is both small and tasteless, but it is a prescription which means its around forty dollars a month. If any body knows of a good prenatal vitamin, let me know. I'm next going to try the Target brand because I heard good things about them. I also take my pills with yogurt or pudding. That helps some of the time. Thank you for letting me rant. :)

If the Target one doesn't work, them you might just have to try the prescription one. Don't have you have prescription coverage? If not, ask your doctor if it is okay to take children's vitamens. One of my friends had trouble taking prenates and her dr told her to take children's viatmens. There is also liquid centrum. It probably doesn't taste too good, but it is better than nothing.

One prenate equals 3 flinstones and 2 tums. That's what I took! I will email you Gavin's bday pic. Can you believe he turned 2 today!

You can always crush them up and mix them in pudding, yogurt or orange juice. You may have to pick up a morter and pistel though. If you need one, let me know. I will try to find you one online.

Love you,

You can buy a pill cutter (not expensive) and cut the pills in half and take them.

My second greatest creation!

I did it, I really did it. I've never done something to at this scale of work. It took me many hours but I did it. I am so proud of this DIY project. My first DIY Day! I would be remiss in mentioning that this little beauty is my best DIY and that handsome man there, well, he just melts my heart and fortifies it all at the same time. Here is the plain old dirty six paned window I have been hauling with me every where since I found it a few years ago at a Habitat for Humanity Restore. I had it done up before but that was a novice's attempt at crafty. I knew when I saw the other crafty DIY projects floating around the blogosphere that I would need to get serious in order to play with the big dogs. Good thing all you blogger peeps were also my inspiration. ;) With out further adue . Did I spell that right. I need to learn French. Not really. I'm so doing this on purpose. Ok , here it is..... Three French Memo Boards, one cork board, one pane for a grocery list and ...

DIY Day a bracelet and another Frenchh Memo Board

Image
This week, I have two DIY projects. This is a faux pearl bracelet I made last week for a friend. It is a three strand bracelet. I couldn't really say how I did it though. I can say it has taken me a while to get the nack of jewelery making. One thing I have sufficiently gotten the nack of is this French Memo Baord thing. Here is a magnetic one I made for my fridgerator out of left over scraps from the window from last week . For the month of September, all my DIYs will be giveways. Atleast one will be...well, a guest DIY and a giveway by my SIL over at Read Be Tween the Lines. My sister, Candy and Ladybugs has a picture in her side bar of her latest crosstiching (did I spell that right? My spell check didn't catch it but I don't think thats how it is spelled) project. Its pretty sweet. Check their blogs out on my side bar of my favorite blogs. I've found so many new favorite blogs, I need to update that list. Add that to my to do list. :) Update: Happy To Design...

A New Side Table Arrangement and Jewelery Give Away

Image
I did not think through planning blog posts on certain days when I had a Beach Trip planned. Shortly before we arrived at our rented beach house for the Labor Day Weekend, the owners cut off the Internet service. Bummer. Yes, I could have gone to the Dunkin' Doughnuts and gotten free Wi - Fi but that would have meant being pulled away from this cutie. Miss Wiggles does not like the bright sun (she is a fair skinned red head so I suppose its only natural) so she loved loved loved her sunglasses. Never once did she try to pull them off or attempted to touch them. I think 'cause she sees me where mine, she just knew. In the DIY blogging world, there have been so many neat table arrangements, and arranging every where else from bed sides, dressers , mantles, windows, etc. that I felt I should try my novice hand at artfully arranging my side table to the cozy leather chair in my library (aka, home office). So hear it is. I had this silver platter fit for a Thanksgiving Tur...
