In full transparency, I wanted to make quesadilla uncrustables, but bought the wrong kind of tortilla. If you want to make those definitely get flour tortillas not corn. 

These are easy to make though, just use a heart shaped cookie cutter to cut your tortillas, then fill and grill on the stove!

My baby is finally feeling better, thank goodness! My baby is finally feeling better, thank goodness! I'm going to be honest, I am exhausted. The emotional toll this week has taken on me has just made me a new level of tired. 

I saw something the other day and it really stuck with me. 

Nobody talks about this when you are thinking about having kids. They talk about the financial piece and the how it's going to change your life piece. But nobody talks about the risk you take by having something you love so much and all the worry that comes with it. 

It's a risk every day to have your whole heart walking around, and going to school and picking up illnesses. There is so much worry and stress that comes with it.

But on the other hand, what a privilege it is to have something you love that much. I have never loved anything the way I love this little boy.

While sometimes the emotions, intrusive thoughts, worry and stress get the best of me, I am grateful every second of every day that I get to be this perfect, beautiful tiny human's mom.

Thanks for all the sweet messages of encouragement this week. It's so nice to know I'm not alone. I'm very grateful for all of you!

How to Make a Mini Liquor Bottle Bouquet

Bell sleeve top | Necklace (Similar)

My baby sister turned 21 this weekend! Like what?? Teeny nugget can drink legally! Once upon a time, I wrote one of my favorite posts ever to my baby sister on her birthday. Check it out here.

I’m so thankful that she thinks I am cool enough to get invited to her party. I was so excited to go and celebrate her! I, of course, brought sisterly gifts. But I also wanted to give her something that every 21 year old needs–a bouquet of mini liquor bottles!

Check out my ghost mini bottle bouquet for Halloween here!

This is the cutest thing and so fun to bring to the birthday girl or boy! Obviously, with a man I would use less glitter and maybe add some meat sticks or snacks. Either way, the base bouquet is the same.

How to Make a Mini Liquor Bottle Bouquet

To make these, you will need:

– Mini bottles of liquor. Be sure to get an assortment of flavors and colors.
– Kabob skewers
– Hot Glue
– Confetti/Styrofoam/Some kind of vase filler
– A vase
– Cupcake liners
– Ribbon

Directions:

1. Glue a kabob skewer to the back of a mini liquor bottle.
2. Push the skewer through the bottom of a cupcake liner and glue the bottom of the bottle to the liner. The linear gives it more of a “flower” look.
3. Place a small dab of glue in the hole where the kabob is inserted to keep in place.
4. Repeat steps 1-3 until all your bottles are complete.
5. Fill your vase with either styrofoam, confetti, marbles, or something that will hold the kabobs in place.
6. Trim the lengths of the stems into random sizes to give your bouquet more dimension. The point is to make it look like a floral arrangement.
7. Place your new bottle flowers in the vase filler. Make sure the weight is distributed evenly and be really careful when removing one.
8. Tie a pretty ribbon around the vase.
9. Bring to the party! 🙂

Aren’t these the cutest?? What is the best gift you’ve ever given someone?

Today we are making a Valentine's Day waffle platt Today we are making a Valentine's Day waffle platter with nutella filled uncrustable waffles. I do realize waffles don't have crusts, but it helps keep the Nutella inside! 

How to make them:
-First, mix your batter and dye it pink with a little bit of food coloring. 
-Then make your waffles, I found this cute @bydash mini waffle maker for Valentine's Day!
-Once they are done, spread a little nutella on a waffle.
-Add a second waffle to the top and use a heart shaped uncrustable cutter to make an uncrustable waffle. 
-Arrange these on a cute plate, add some strawberries, serve and enjoy!

What's your vote on Nutella? Delicious or overrated?
