Baby shower invitations

We have finally completed the baby shower invitations.....for the most part.
It only took three days and three moms juggling children and duties.

What you'll need:

• - Template which you can get 
• - Regular sized card stock(1 or 2 colors)
• - Scissors
• - Tape
• - Ribbon
• - Hole punch

How To:

So your first step would be to print out the template. It will come out blue so if you don't want it blue you can use it as a tracer like we did.

It will look like this when your done. (Minus the holes)

Then fold. You can use the template as a guide for the folding. After a while you get the hang of where to fold. But this is what the front will look like after you have folded it. (Minus the holes)

Now take your hole punch and put in the holes for your ribbon.

We added black card stock to the inside. We got the design at picmonkey.com
We also added a diaper raffle invite. I uploaded the picture from Google on to picmonkey and wrote a little note :) we taped both those inside.

Then just fold it up and tie some ribbon in the holes. Tape them down. And Walla!

We added names and a cute card stock bat logo on the back.

Price$$$:

• Yellow Card stock for invitations -$0.16 per page from officemax (45 pages) --$7.20

And the party planning has begun!

So February 15th is one of my best friend's baby shower that I'm planning. She loves batman so for her little boy I am doing batman :) I have finally started doing the projects that I need to do (I'm a horrible procrastinator!) Devon pretty much did this one though because he's selfish and steals my projects! But it's a motorcycle diaper cake! I can't wait to share all the rest of the projects for the baby shower and Chayse's first birthday :)

So far....It's still going?

This new year isn't spectacular but it isn't horrible. I'm still not sure about how things are going with Devon and I. I mean yeah we are doing good we talk we see each other but he isn't helping more with Chayse or buying things. I've actually been helping him. Everyone thinks he's just trying to use this to get out of court stuff. But I don't think he is. I just wish hed help more with Chayse.  Especially because I have the flu right now. Ugh I just really hope things get more clear.

To the new year and to new things

So of course what's a week without problems right? But we are working through them and we will keep working through them until they are no longer problems. But I'm ending my year much differently then I thought I was going to. New Year's Eve will be our anniversary and Devon and I will be spending it together. I couldn't be happier and I hope that we continue to have anniversaries together. Not sure what we will do for this one but all that matters now is that we will spend it together.
Seeing how happy Chayse gets when he has both mommy and daddy together makes my heart melt!
Hopefully 2014 will be a better year for us

Merry Christmas.

Where do I start? My Christmas was great. I spent time with my family and not that I asked for much for Christmas but I got everything I wanted. And so did Chayse! My Christmas eve started with an argument with Devon and then Tyler and I went shopping. Met Devon at my work and he then told me that he loves me and wants to prove to me that we can make things work and be together. So I told him I was willing to make things work. He went to church with us and spent the night and then we spent all Christmas together! :)
So as much as I worry constantly about him going back to Ashley. I still wish hope and pray that we can pick up where we left off. And be together fully. I hate how much I love him but he's my soul mate and I just can't stay away!
But other then that Chayse had a blast with all his new toys and opening presents and playing with everyone. He was so happy to have his mommy and daddy together. And had an altogether great day!  Down fall though we both have really bad colds. :/
Merry Christmas!

It's still not feeling much like Christmas

Christmas is in 4 days and it doesn't feel like it at all. But I'm ready for all the holiday crap to be over. On top of planning Chayse's birthday party i am also planning my friends baby shower and im so excited! the theme is a surprise to her. But I know she will love it!

On another note I decided that if Devon shows up on time tomorrow I will allow him to take Chayse. But only to make myself look good. I'm still filing for full custody. 

There is no such thing as happily ever after

I feel like once things start going good something just has to happen and ruin everything. I hate it. All I want is a family and to love someone and have them love me in return. But right now things have gotten out of control. I'm going to start filing for full custody this week. It's the only way I can protect my son from the horrible things his father comes up with. As much as I don't want to do it. It's not fair to my son for his father to just go and replace our family with another one because he doesn't know how to fix things. So for now it's just me and Chayse and I want to keep it like that. I hate being alone but I have to get my shit together so that Chayse and I can have the life we deserve. 
But on a better note Chayse is growing way to fast his two bottom teeth are in and adorable!  I got told they want to keep me permanently for work. Breastfeeding is still going wonderful and I'm doing a lot better at pumping.  Chayse is such a chatter box. He says kitty kitty, ball, mommy, dada, yeah, and hi. We went and did a cute Santa's work shop thing were going to see Santa but Chayse fell asleep.
And I can't wait for Christmas!  :)
