Lil is learning about accessories. Before stopping by Mama's favorite jewelry store, we went shopping for some shoes to go with her fancy little dresses, and while we were there, we found some lovely little headbands. Personally, the froof is a bit much for me, but that sweet round face was made for big bows. The shoes were a tough call, and we're saving them for tomorrow- no sneak peeks!
I am always searching for the perfect bib for this stage in Lil's life. She drools, she spits up, and I am tired of jumping for a burp cloth and fretting over stains on her lovely organic cotton tops (organic cotton seems to hold the stains more that processed cotton). This funny little bandana style bib from a New Zealand-based company called Mum 2 Mum is made of a soft squishy velour and lined with a water resistant nylon, so Lil can dribble away! Best of all, they are available in a whole bunch of fashionable colors, and with an adjustable snap closure, it will fit that neck for the long haul. Sadly, I didn't get one to match tomorrow's lovely outfit. Since Mama will be busy graduatin', Lil will be on the bottle, and probably experiencing some big 'ol burps.

Hi there!
ReplyDeleteOkay, this has nothing to do with Lil, but here's the recipe for the cake. It's perfect for anyone who has egg or milk allergies (just use all plant margarine for the frosting). Here we go:
Mix:
1-1/2 c flour
1/2 t salt
1 c sugar
1/4 c cocoa powder
1 t baking soda
Add:
5 T oil
1 T vinegar (white)
1 t vanilla
Stir and add 1 c water
Pour into greased, floured 9" round pan (or an 8x8" square pan). Bake at 350F for 30-35 minutes. Frost with buttercream frosting. Enjoy!
