She’s Crafty!

Devon recently posted how she made the Pom Pom Necklace that was featured on this blog. I read how easy and simple it was, so I decided to try too!

It turns out it was super easy! I only needed $6.75 of supplies, that I got a Wal-Mart, and made this necklace! I haven’t worn it yet, but I look forward to dressing up a t-shirt or something with it.

Beware of the hot glue gun though! Three of my finger tips have no feeling right now!

The necklace turned out so cute, that I decided to use the felt scraps I had from the necklace to make the headbands also featured on the blog. I had some scrap fabric laying around so I used whatever I had. I picked up some plain black headbands and put it all together! Cute, huh?

I can see myself making baby sized headbands for Taylor soon!

My niece's birthday is coming up in 2 weeks, so I am going to send a few to her with her gift. I hope she’ll wear them! If not, she can share with her sisters and Mom :)

Those are cute. Don't be surprised if C and A borrow them from H! Although H has started being a bit more girly with her hair. there is hope for my tomboy.

Just My Story...

Over the past three years my life has been flipped upside down. I am 31 years old and have 4 beautiful angel babies, who are fondly known as my “Green Beans”. The first of my quads, Heidi, held on as long as she could and was born on January 31, 2009 after pPROMing at 17 weeks. A few weeks later, I pPROM’d with my sweet Lily. Lily, Paige, and Rylan were all born at 22 weeks on February 23, 2009. Just after being released from the hospital empty handed, I returned with a high fever and infection. Two of the nights I spent in the hospital that week, I honestly thought I was going to die. It was the sickest and most hopeless I’ve ever been. I’m pretty sure my diagnosis was a broken heart.

My journey to parenthood has definitely had its share of happiness and heartbreaks. I got through every day by staying close to friends and family, blogging, and trusting in God that my future will be bright. All the love and support I’ve gotten has greatly helped me manage……I am alive and well, and want to be my absolute best as a result of this.

On May 1st 2011, we welcomed our sweet baby girl, Taylor, into this world. She is my miracle baby and brings so much joy and happiness to my life. She is my reminder every day that God is good and faithful.

I have come out of all of this with a better appreciation of life. I hope to make the best of this situation by helping others who will experience a similar loss.
