106: Very basic oats cookies

This post intrigued me because of its simplicity with yummy ingredients (1 c oats + 2 bananas + 1/4 c chocolate chips, bake at 350 for 15 min). Very easy and fairly tasty! Not very sweet though, might try adding a scoop of peanut butter or a dash of cinnamon and/or vanilla next time. Good option for fairly healthy dessert bite in a hurry!

105: Pacifier holder/bag

We don't have a use for pacifiers just yet, but having seen my friends's babies losing pacifiers right and left. I thought these little bags that can tie on anywhere as a homebase for pacifiers is a great idea. Can't comment on the usefulness just yet, but it was easy to make!

103: Onsie upgrade with cloth petals

Another quick but cute embellishment to baby items, this time to a onsie. Matches a headband from a few entries ago!

102: Baby flower headband

More cute baby girl stuff! These little flower headbands are super quick and cute. Callie is my reluctant model until we have a little human to try this on (she's a good sport).

101: Nursing reminder

In doing some thinking ahead here, I liked the idea of this nursing reminder (if one of the many apps that does this doesn't happen to be around). Another use of a tiny bit of old scrap material. I used t-shirt scraps since the magnets I had laying around weren't super powerful, so I wanted something light. Plus, no one but baby and me will see this, so it didn't have to be pretty!

100: Nursery door jam

This was a little easy one, designed with a scrap of fabric to block the nursery door from making too much noise. I used ties (also scraps) so I could get the right fit around the knobs.

99: Baby shower thank yous

I stole this thank you card idea, which I thought was cute and allowed me to personalize our cards a bit.

98: Owl mini pillows

I thought these were super adorable and a fairly manageable project to try to figure out how to put together. I sketched out the cute owl shape and then both glued and sewed on the eye and beaks (don't want any chocking hazards!). Also, completely made out of old t-shirts! (yes, we have a seemingly unlimited number of these)

96: Comfy headband

This was one of those posts that showed a cute product then led to an etsy account, when I was hoping for a how-to. So I had to kind of figure this one out, but it wasn't too tricky (sew two strips of cloth that are long enough to go around the head into tubes, loop the tubes around each other in the middle, sew the 4 ends of the strips together, voila!).

95: Healthy fruit dip

I've been looking for good ideas to use greek yogurt for and found this yummy recipe for fruit dip. Yogurt + fruit sounds like a pretty tasty and healthy option to me! The peanut butter doesn't hurt either... (Good protein source!)

94: Oats and fruit breakfast cookies

I went to make my favorite oat muffins (see one of my first posts, I've had those muffins nearly every day of my pregnancy) and realized I didn't have any eggs! In searching for an alternative to going to the store, I ran across these "cookies", though given the healthy contents they're more like cookie/mufffins (and very breakfast appropriate). Whipped em up in 20 minutes, they're pretty tasty, more fruity than sweet. I was missing 1 banana, so I mixed in half an apple in it's place (I'm wild), as you'll see.

93: Upcycled t-shirt to fabric flowers

At first I thought this would just be a fun thing to try with t-shirt scraps I had laying around, but as I ended up making this with a pink tee, I know have grand ideas about turning this into a cute baby headband (as I have a feeling our little lady is going to be born lacking much hair). Very easy project, as all this required was part of a t-shirt, scissors, and a glue gun.
