<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">For the past three years, we have had clothes for our girls coming out of our EARS, but have started to need to re-organize, pair down, and come up with a good "system" as to what we all really NEED in our closets.

Remember, these are just the bare bones of a wardrobe. Add or subtract according to your needs. The main thing is to be ruthless. Most women wear only 20% of the clothes 80% of the time. Get rid of everything else!</div>

You can get most kids clothes at garage sales for a fraction of the new price. Be picky and only buy the few things you love. By spending one morning going to garage sales, I found all the clothes I needed for my 3 year old son. We usually get enough clothing as Christmas gifts, but this year he didn’t get everything that he needed. I spent three hours and $5 on everything from shirts to shoes. I got 10 shirts, 5 pairs of jeans, 3 pairs of shoes and 4 pairs of pajamas. I saved myself $225. That is $75 an hour I “earned” by going to garage sales or 24 hours (3 days) less my husband would have had to work to buy the clothes.</div>Blair and Cara Jenkinshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02304436707798726054noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22199649.post-9081704368594090182012-06-12T15:26:00.001-04:002012-06-12T15:26:11.303-04:00When is it time to wake up?<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="344" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ML0mqIR8I1k?fs=1" width="459"></iframe>Blair and Cara Jenkinshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02304436707798726054noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22199649.post-86316038892206210352012-02-20T20:37:00.000-05:002012-02-20T20:37:09.857-05:00Down Down Baby....<iframe width="459" height="344" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/99--LG7599k?fs=1" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe>Blair and Cara Jenkinshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02304436707798726054noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22199649.post-39090660767400360432011-08-23T14:16:00.002-04:002011-08-23T14:19:27.869-04:00Article for all my oboe parents (and anyone else interested)<a href="http://ottawasuzukistrings.ca/makeuplessons">This</a> is a great article about private lessons from an economists point of view.

When I bought it, it was about a foot tall and didn't have any berries the first season.

Their makeup is always on, hair done, and baby comes out looking angelic. Any woman that has had a baby knows this is far from reality. The true reality of labor is that it takes a long time, it's progressive and it's not pretty.</div><br /><br /><div align="justify">Hannah had a Hollywood labor, and here's her timeline...</div><br /><br /><div align="justify"><strong>8:00am</strong>: Started having some contractions, nothing big.<br /></div><br /><div align="justify"><strong>12:00pm</strong>: Mexican food with Blair and Mia</div><br /><br /><div align="justify"><strong>2:00pm</strong>: Nap. Contractions have gone away by now.</div><br /><br /><div align="justify"><strong>6:00pm</strong>: Make dinner, contractions are back and are very mild.</div><br /><br /><div align="justify"><strong>8:00pm</strong>: Put Mia down for bed, contractions are a little stronger.</div><br /><br /><div align="justify"><strong>9:30pm</strong>: Call doctor to tell her that contractions are 8 minutes apart, but are still not very strong. Doctor tells me to drink some water, take a bath, and get some rest.</div><br /><br /><div align="justify"><strong>10:00pm</strong>: Take a shower, this is where it went downhill...</div><br /><br /><div align="justify"><strong>10:10pm</strong>: Call Blair from upstairs and tell him to pack bags and call babysitter. Contractions are strong and closer together. Blair packs his bag and grabs camera.</div><br /><br /><div align="justify"><strong>10:30pm</strong>: Babysitter arrives, contractions are 2 minutes apart and strong. We drive to hospital...</div><br /><br /><div align="justify"><strong>10:40pm</strong>: Arrive at hospital in screaming agony. Blair parks in emergency entrance. Wheelchair boy wheels me through the halls as quickly as he could to get to the fourth floor labor and delivery.</div><br /><br /><div align="justify"><strong>10:45pm</strong>: Check into room, nurses are hooking up chords, one asks me to get off wheelchair to check to see how dialated I was. I was 9cm. She asks me to get in the bed quickly, this baby was coming. Blair had run down to park the car.</div><br /><br /><div align="justify"><strong>11:00pm</strong>: Doctor arrives, water breaks...</div><br /><br /><div align="justify"><strong></strong></div><br /><div align="justify"><strong>11:33pm</strong>: After a very intense and painful 33 minutes, Hannah Grace is born!</div><br /><br /><div align="justify">I guess you could say I was in labor for about an hour and a half. Compared to Mia's labor, I was hoping that I could have the experience of driving to the hospital in anticipation...we certainly got our wish. I think I was in complete shock for the next 12 hours after. Now that we're home, can't believe we have the privilage of raising two precious girls. God is to good to us.</div>Blair and Cara Jenkinshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02304436707798726054noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22199649.post-47534406214833121732011-05-09T21:51:00.002-04:002011-05-09T22:12:16.846-04:00My Cheese-a-holic...<p>I've been meaning to post this for a while, but we've been a bit busy.

I don't know if it's pregnancy hormones or just the boredom of being locked in the house during the winter, but I'm in major "nesting mode." I'm throwing my good friend, Melanie, a wedding shower in two weeks and my small group leader, Debbie, gave us her piano. Both of those things have given me motivation to make some changes to our living room which has looked basically the same for the past five years. </div><br /><div align="justify"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQ7hcMyTX4EYAY0sPMuL5GxqnuyTqHKbRWqSBhBSg_qmY7f6FIaA1xmYAwDxMMtiOwIU7qfjVMnZ1MrSA2VUIREtFvYP9SfiejDEKNFPD-Oq_JPO-RKpY-PUZejYXdGExWXhoe/s1600/459707d.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5565574820472087106" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 290px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 218px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQ7hcMyTX4EYAY0sPMuL5GxqnuyTqHKbRWqSBhBSg_qmY7f6FIaA1xmYAwDxMMtiOwIU7qfjVMnZ1MrSA2VUIREtFvYP9SfiejDEKNFPD-Oq_JPO-RKpY-PUZejYXdGExWXhoe/s400/459707d.jpg" border="0" /></a> Don't get me wrong, I like our set up, furniture and "stuff." I just want some new life in our living (and bedroom) spaces. I bought two adorable lamps today for 50% off at Hancock fabrics for our bedroom. One of our lamps was broken and I was never in love with them. These only cost $15/each, not bad. Here's what's on the docket for this week:</div><br />1. Make two curtains for dining area windows. (I already bought some cute red/gold diamond printed fabric from Hancock fabrics for 50% off).<br /><br />2. Move Debbie's piano (acutally, this is Blair's job).<br /><br />3. Make curtain for large living area window (already picked out the fabric, waiting to see if I follow through on #1 first before investing in more fabric. It's supposed to snow this week, good excuse to get cracking to combat the stir-crazies).<br /><br />4. Move furnature around (this is going to be hard, especially for the hubby since he loves the set up. We have a small living space, but have a few ideas for fitting in the piano and not changing the flow of the room).<br /><br /><div align="justify">When all this is done, I get to move on to our bedroom which is in dire need of a facelift as well. My <a href="http://www.my-daily-portion.blogspot.com/">way-too-crafty-and-cute-sister-in-law</a> redid their bedding and curtains which made a HUGE difference (though everything she touches turns to gold). She's my sewing and decorating idol. Her house makes you want to throw up a little, it's that adorable AND organized (sidenote - we ironically both posted about running around the house and her title was "rub a dub dub, six men in a tub." She IS a school librarian, but common, can I have an ounce of that creativity?). I already bought some new frames from Kohls for our wedding picture and bridal protrait on clearance. they look great with the new lamps. I love seeing progress, I just need the patience to watch it all come together. Will post pictures with the progress this week...<br /></div>Blair and Cara Jenkinshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02304436707798726054noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22199649.post-50824463281255293882011-01-20T15:06:00.003-05:002011-01-20T15:21:00.933-05:00The dumbest new tradition in our family...<div align="justify">So when our brother-in-law joined the family four years ago, he introduced us to this tradition that has long lived in the Porter family: running around the house on the first snow. The day after Christmas, we had our "first snow" and were told that this is something we have to do. I can see how this might be fun at a small house, but Blair's parents house is rather wide and large. I wouldn't say this was a fun experience, but it was sure memorable!

Store in freezer.<br /><br />FYI I think these would be yummy with just about any types of nut that you have. I would have added cranberries or raisins if i had them. This is a great breakfast to send your husband out the door with! Also a great mid afternoon snack for a preggo woman....Blair and Cara Jenkinshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02304436707798726054noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22199649.post-29053938434857332152011-01-08T13:00:00.002-05:002011-01-08T13:02:55.635-05:00Yummy Crockpot applesauce...Just made <a href="http://crockpot365.blogspot.com/2008/09/crockpot-applesauce-recipe.html">THIS </a>awesome crockpot applesauce recipie for Mia.
