Quilt bibs

Since I have been doing all this quilting, one of my friends (who does diaper cakes) asked me about a quilt which was not in her budget so I had in mind doing something a little different. We decided on quilting bibs! I was a little nervous of how it would turn out, but of course they turned out amazing. I bought regular and flannel fabric. I quickly googled what to use in the middle to soak up all that baby drool which of course was towel material ( you can also use burp cloths as well). I bought too much fabric of course but you never know how much you need! I sewed together my patch work first then made my own pattern for the bib and cut it out. I also used premade binding which I LOVE for the edges and I don't think I will ever go back to making my own. So here is the final pictures of the bibs 

          Same bib just reversible 

          I used a button on both sides for this one since it is reversible. Though I don't think it really needs it after I put it on oh well.

         The back is one fabric pink/hearts

I had fun making these and will def keep this in mind for baby showers and for my future children.

Healthy spaghetti

We often have spaghetti at our house since we love it and some are half Italian. Now that I'm getting healthier, the pasta will kill everything that I'm trying to work towards. So I found something to replace my pasta fixings, called broccoli slaw. It is pretty yummy! All I did was put some oil,garlic,onion in a pan with the slaw and cooked till soft. Afterwards I just added my famous meat sauce on top. Now since I'm not the only one eating the meat (most don't like turkey meat) I used 93% fat free ground beef. Which means I don't get a lot of it since it's not the best for me but I added some just for taste and it was AMAZING! Also added zucchini but, shhh don't tell anyone. This is my new favorite meal with the broccoli slaw. It was crunchy unlike regular pasta but at least it was almost the same and you get tons of veggies! I can't wait to try more recipes with it.

2 months down to a healthy new me!

Alright ladies and gents, Friday marked my 2months of all my hard work of changing my lifestyle! I still do the same thing I did for month one just added more strengthing skills such as weights and restistance band. Due to some unfortunate events last weekend I ended up in the er and the first thing they was weigh me!!!! At first I was a little hesitant , thinking "I'm not ready for this!  What if I didn't  loose as much as I think I did?" I finally said let it go, so I hopped on the scale and was ready for whatever came up on the scale! So I didn't weigh my self when I started, but I am going from when I was in the doctors last august and figured I was about the same which was 185. The scale this time said 172!!!! WHAT!!! I lost 13 pounds!!!!! I can't believe it! I am so proud of myself and thankful for all my friends and family pushing me through and of course my personal trainer, MY ELLIPTICAL! Here  is the pictures from my first day and now!
