Winter Maternity Clothes; Week 28

My sister and I have two boxes of maternity clothes that have made the rounds for our combined six pregnancies. Those boxes have also been loaned to at least two other moms for three pregnancies and many items came to us used. We would like to think we are frugal!

My two boys were due in September and October, both warm weather months in Arizona, and obviously preceded by many months of warm weather. Two of my sister's kids were also born in the summer, so we have an over-representation of sleeveless shirts, capris, knit tee-shirts and so on. So this is the first time I've actually been able to enjoy the few long sleeved maternity clothes. Here are a few highlights from Pregnancy Week 28...the week it was 20 degrees in Tucson.

My sisters and I pass around maternity clothes too! The way I see it is this: Why would I keep clothes for 1-3 years that I can't wear when others can make good use of them?

We saw this Rainbow Checkerboard Cake video several months ago and Calvin was intrigued.  He ended up adding it to our Summer Fun Ideas List and this week we made it happen.  This was not quite a Pinterest Fail, but if you look at the video you will see how far from the original creation our cake actually was.    One cake mix was divided into pink and yellow.  One cake mix we made into blue and green.     Lots of boys.  Lots of help.  Lots of hand washing.    We cut the center out of each one and rearranged the colors.    And stacked them all together.  If we had waited until the cakes were completely cool, or even par-froze the layers they would have stacked more easily without cracking. I was running low on frosting and patience and endurace, so the end product left a lot to be desired. But, remember the boys up there?  They didn't care!  They oohed-and...

I am an inexperienced blogger. I write sporadically. I use a free blogging web-site.  I have not done a tutorial. I have not attended a blogger conference.  And I have had at least three reader's comments "lost" recently.  I am so sorry about that!! I do not know why this is happening.  I have double checked all my setting to allow comments. Even anonymous comments but the problem seems to persist.   Today I have made a small change so that the comments section will pop-up in a new window instead of at the bottom of my site.  Maybe this will help.   If you make a comment and it doesn't appear, please let me know.   Or just forgo all the blog-related-comment-mumbo-jumbo and email me directly!   I like hearing from you.
