Thanks Rachelle!

My friend Rachelle created this header. Isn't it cute? I LOVE it! She has also created a link button that you can put on your blog that will link to this one. I just have to give her rights to do that. I am planning on doing that today so look for that button in the near future.

In case you forgot, Rachelle is the one who has the "She's Crafty" website. There is a button to that blog on the right hand side of this blog.

She is so talented!

Motherhood and Friendship: How Baby Changes Everything!!

This article is very interesting. I know I can definitely relate. It is so true having a baby does change the dynamic of your friendships. This article gives some perspective on that. The author is Veronique Vienne. Click here to read it.

Ideas

Since Valentines Day is just around the corner I wanted to share a few ideas I have seen. They are all cute and the best part, they are inexpensive.

The first idea I got from Rachelle's blog called "She's Crafty." Notice I now have a link to her blog on the right hand side of this blog. Click here to see the exact post/idea I am talking about. Way cute!I would highly recommend checking out the rest of her site for some other great ideas.

I also found this site. Click on it to find some awesome deals to restaurants. I got a $25 gift card for $10. All you need to do is enter your zip code to find the deals in your area.

And the last thing, if anyone wants or knows someone who would want a link/button to their site/blog on this blog let me know. Right now I have the I read Nie Nie button and the She's Crafty button, but anyone is welcome just let me know.

Ok, I promise this really is the last thing. I am looking for someone to create a custom design for this blog and also a custom link button. Let me know if you are interested! E-mail me at marissa_jarrett@yahoo.com

Hi There!

Hi! I am Marissa's friend, Rachelle. We danced together in college, and just came back in contact! She told me about this blog, and I am so excited about it!!
A little about me...
I am 23, I have one baby boy, who is 13 months old. I am from Salt Lake, and I love to dance, sew, scrapbook, and be creative! (Marissa's last post had two of my craft sites, and they are also in the side bar!) I like to goof off, and watch chick flix! I HATE to clean the bathroom, and try my hardest to bribe my husband to do it, but usually end up doing it myself with a grimace on my face. I serve in the Young Womens. I love the gospel! I miss my girlfriends and having a carefree existence, but would NEVER change my life now that I know what it is like to be a Mom! I am already baby hungry.

Anyway, the reason for my post...
I need a little advice. No, I am not planning on getting pregnant any time soon, but I do want to have another baby maybe sometime next year. Here is where your advice comes in. I have a good friend who has been married for over four years and can't get pregnant. She gets really sad and upset when others around her are blessed with pregnancy, and I am SO scared to get pregnant again, because I feel like I would offend her and maybe hurt our friendship. What should I do!!? I HATE hurting other people's feelings, and I realize that I worry way too much about it, but sometimes I just can't help it! Any suggestions???

Cute Craft sites!

This past week I have been so Lucky to come back in contact with an old friend that I used to dance with a few years back. She is very creative and makes the cutest crafts. She has two websites that I just had to share because they are so cute! I have also given her Author rights to the blog, so you may start seeing some posts from her, at least I hope so!

The first is:

http://charliecloths.artfire.com

This site has variety of items for sale and all at decent prices. She makes everything from flower headbands, aprons, nursing covers and lots of other things.

This blog shows pictures of all the other things she makes. Everything is so cute! You need to check it out, it will be worth it:)

Teething.....

My daughter is almost 9 months old and still has no teeth. She has been waking up at night lately and she seems to be in pain because her bottle doesn't help. I feel bad giving her Tylenol or Motrin every night. And sometimes I wonder if it really is her teeth bothering her since this has been going on for almost 2 months and still no sign of a tooth. Does anyone have any tips on teething? Or know the signs of teething? I am just in need of some sleep and if its not her teeth then I would want to try letting her cry it out. Any advice would be helpful. Thanks!
