I'm not only doing the Whole 30...

I'm also busy with some other, much more fun things!

Carson was invited to a birthday party yesterday, and we had to have a gift for the sweet little Maci, so I made her a little reversible, open-back dress and ruffle bloomers to match. And, of course, a little flower barrette, because every little girl needs one of those. I used a Tie Dye Diva pattern for the dress and bloomers and used this free tutorial from Wisecraft for the flower barrette. Both the patterns and the tutorial are great- clear directions and pictures. I would definitely purchase from Tie Dye Diva again- I've made the dress and bloomers in three different sizes now and they've all turned out perfectly.



Unfortunately, Carson had a serious meltdown at the party. The cutest little girl, possibly in the whole world, just happened to pull at his shirt a little, and he lost it. I have never seen him just totally freak out like that, and it was sooo embarrassing. I had to give him a paci to settle him down (and the only one I had with me was pink. awesome.) and he would start crying again whenever he saw the sweet girl! It was crazy!

And, apparently as a divine test, I was asked to bake a cake and cupcakes for a baby shower during the midst of my Whole 30 no sugar eating extravaganza.











Neither Sean nor I ate a single taste of the stuff... and it wasn't always easy. Sean threw a little baby fit while the cupcakes were baking and filling the house with chocolate goodness. Poor guy. He got over it. Today is day 14!!! Two weeks... and tomorrow we're half way there!
