Time Management

I'm still learning how to manage my time with a newborn around.  Sometimes Jack doesn't love to be put down so Mommy can get some things done-so I have learned to be creative.  In the morning, I strap him on me using our Moby Wrap and then I'm able to get some stuff done.  Like yesterday morning, I prepared dinner in the crock-pot and cleaned up the kitchen a tad.  Right now, Jack has about a one hour limit in any sort of wrap or carrier then he wants out.  Today, I was feeling a bit crafty so I started on a project for Jack while he was strapped on.  Then, Jack gave me the greatest gift ever this afternoon...a 2 hour nap in his crib!  As soon as he went down and I knew he was going to stay down for a while, I quickly ran to the kitchen and started baking.  I made a yummy pumpkin bread and then I realized Jack was still asleep so I went back to my morning craft and finished that up. 

I'm not going to lie...when I found out we were having a boy, I was a little disappointed that I wasn't going to be able to make all the super cute outfits that I had always dreamed about.  Now that I have Jack in my life, I couldn't imagine life being any other way.  So, I've been thinking of things that I can make for Jack that will keep my crafty gene happy and I decided to make Jack some "formal wear". 

After I made this one, I realized that it's still too cold for a short sleeved onsie and the tie is a little too big (half of it would be tucked in his pants) so I made some adjustments and made another one.

Look who's ready for corporate America!
