Mommy and Reece

Just a few pics Mandy snapped while at National Harbor. Thanks Miranda Jean!

This last week one of my best friends from high school, Miranda Jean Seamons, came to visit! I had given her tickets to the concert of our favorite band ever, Safetysuit, for her birthday and the time for the show had finally come! Oh yeah, and she got to meet Reece too! Here's a peak at some of our adventures.

She made Reece the most adorable little tutu dress. I am so excited to get some pictures of Reece in it!

Road trip to Richmond, VA to see Safetysuit!

Day out in Old Town, Alexandria:

"That thing must weigh 5000 pounds. Oh look, and there's an anchor, too!" -Sean. I laughed so hard I cried... Love you Mandy!

National Harbor:

Thanks for the fun times Mandy! Love you!

DIY Cardigans

Pinterest is probably one of my favorite discoveries for 2012 (aside from all things baby). It makes me feel all sorts of awesome and crafty, even though none of the ideas are actually my own. This one is from a tutorial I found HERE. Super duper easy! Every sweater in my closet should be scared for it's life, as I am now reexamining everything to determine if it is better as a sweater or a cardigan. Anyway, check out the link above and see if there is anything in your closet that could use a cheap but super cute makeover.

Sweater #1:

I have had this thing since high school (some of you may recognize it...). It is actually still in great condition, but has gotten way too short. So, some iron-on adhesive and a few minutes later...

Tada! Once it had become a cardigan, I decided that it would look better with shorter sleeves. Luckily, that was an easy fix as well. Just cut off the same length of sleeve on both sides, and used the iron-on adhesive. Worked like a charm!
