Diaper Butterfly

I came across this gem this morning on Pinterest and knew that I had to make them for my friend Brook who is having her third baby sometime around the end of January/beginning of February. Since there were no instructions with the link, I decided I'd make them and share a tutorial!

Supplies needed: diapers, onesies (or another baby item, the picture showed washcloths, but I decided to go with onesies), ribbon, pipe cleaners and sisscors.

1. Take 2 diapers and tie them together with ribbon.

2. Fold a pipe cleaner in half, then curl the tops.

3. Roll the onesie up, before rolling all the way, put the pipe cleaner about half way down.

4. Tie the rolled up onsie onto the diapers. Make sure to put the ribbon underneath the ribbon used to tie the diapers together so the onesie is attached.

5. Add two more ribbons. Slide the ribbons around so the knot is not showing.

Enjoy these great, usable gifts!

Saturdays Down South Season Wrap up

As I sit here in my bed watching football, anxiously awaiting 4:00 to see the SEC Championship Game, obviously the best game on TV today, I'm reflecting on our season.

It seemed almost like yesterday and so long ago at the same time that I was boarding a plane to Nashville to see the Thursday night college kick off game vs. Vandy. It wasn't pretty, but a win is a win.

Then back to Columbia for some great games and tailgating with friends and family.

Top Ten Memories from 2012 season (in no particular order)

1. Sitting with my family this season, instead of the student section

2. Beating Georgia :)

3. Having GameDay come for the Georgia game

4. Road trip to Florida with Alek

5. Parents Weekend tailgate with the Reidel's

6. Marcus Lattimore's injury vs. Tennessee :(

7. Beating Clemson for the 4th year in a row

8. Being undefeated at home

9. Clowney-excited to see how he improves in the offseason. He will be one scary guy next year

10. Homemade cornhole boards and getting competitive with it

It was a great season only losing 2 games and I'm so proud of the whole team. It was awesome to see players set up when needed (best example: Dylan Thompson at Clemson). Can't wait until next season, but until then I will soon have baseball to hold me over. Go Cocks!
