Starting Potty Training

This is Charlotte's favorite book at the moment. She asks to read it at least 3 times a day. It has helped her get back to being excited about using the potty! Today we went shopping and she picked out Hello Kitty, Disney Princess's, and Dora panties. While at the store I went to change her diaper and she asked to use the potty and went peepee. Luckily they had seat liners! I need find a fold up potty seat for when we are out. I will still use diapers for her nap and bedtime but during the day she will be in big girl panties. On Wednesday we have story time at the library so I will probably put a diaper on her for the drive and while at the library. For the rest of the week we are going to stick around the house so she gets used to not being in a diaper. Fingers crossed that it goes well.

Yummy Squash Muffins

Today I was thawing a package of pureed butternut squash and decided instead of using it for Charlotte's lunch that I would make muffins. I used this awesome recipe for pumpkin muffins from one of my favorite cooking blogs smitten kitchen. I wasn't sure how they would turn out by using butternut squash instead of pumpkin but I'm really happy with how yummy they are. I also found that I didn't have pumpkin pie spice but googled it and found a great substitute recipe.

Girly Ruffled Camera Strap Slipcover

I used this wonderful tutorial from kevinandamanda.com to make my girly camera strap slipcover. Richie isn't all that thrilled with it. He told me he was never using our camera again! Oh well, it's not like he really ever used it before...lol
