Can't wait for Halloween!

Halloween is tomorrow!

The kids are excited. They've been couting down the days for
the past couple weeks already...lol :)

What are your kids gonna be for Halloween?
Are you dressing up too?

Mimi wanted to be a princess, so she chose to be
Rapunzel from Tangled.


Bub wanted to be Hawkeye from The Avengers movie.
We couldn't find the costume at Party City or Walmart,
so I decided that his costume would be "handmade" this year.

Off to savers we went to find things for his costume.
I think we did an awesome job. :)

I also asked my mom's bf to make his bow and arrrows.
It came out bigger than i thought,
but it's still awesome.

I handmade the arm band things and I sewed on the hawkeye
emblem on the vest. So, his whole costume is thrifted and handmade. :)

Here is the link for the PVC Bow & Arrows

Hello...Anyone out there??

Hello!!

OMG......It's been like 4 months since I last blogged. >_<"
I guess I just didn't have time, or maybe it was due to
being lazy...lol!

So, what has been going on in my life?

The kid went back to school. Bub is in 3rd grade and
Mimi started Kindergarten this year! Yay! :)


Mimi has also started soccer with AYSO.
She loves it! Bub is still in Kempo and he is getting
promoted to BLUE belt next week. :)
He's excited about that.

Not sure if I'm going to be blogging much.
There are other things in my life that must come first, so I wont
have much time to sit here and blog about my life or random things.

I've been addicted to Instagram..so if you have it and want
to follow me, my account is @Rebma54 :)

Have a blessed day!

Thrift Haul

I did a little thrifting today.
Every monday it is 25% off everything at Savers,
plus whatever color tag they have that is 50% off.
Today's color was purple. 

Anyway, I didn't get too many items on this trip.

I found this Hunger Games shirt, and it's in spanish.
I haven't read the book, but the movie looks cool, and
I thought it was neat that the words on the shirt are in spanish.
I love finding "cool" shirts and cutting them into cropped shirts to wear. :)


As for the kids, I got Bub a pair of Levi jeans, a rash gaurd shirt (for the beach),
a Nike jersey tank top, sleeping shorts, and a Angry Birds shirt. 


And for Mimi, I got a floral button down tank, a skirt, high
waisted shorts, and a cool pair of printed pants. 


I love my little thrifting buddy. :)
It's fun to find cute clothing items for her and she's at an
age where it doesn't matter that her clothes come from a thrift store.
I remember when I was younger, I didn't like going thrift shopping
with my mom. But now, as an adult, I love it and I hope thrifting
stays with my kids....lol. :)

Here is Mimi's thrifted outfit.
Her top and shorts are from today's thrifting trip,
but her sandals are from a previous one about a month or so ago.


Keep Calm
and
Go Thrifting.

Happy Birthday, Bub!

My baby is 8 years old!!!

The 7th was Bub's 8th birthday! :)
We celebrated with his papa (my dad) at CPK for lunch.
That's his favortie place to eat.
Then I took him to Toys R Us so he could
buy something from the birthday money he got.

Then yesterday he had a doctor's appointment,
but after I took him and Mimi to the movies.
We watched Madagascar 3. I thought it was really good.
The kids really liked it. :)

Today we had a family party for Bub's birthday.
He had an "Angry Birds" themed party.
I bought and made decorations, and I made the cake myself.
Spuer proud about that! Hahaha....
He loved it! :)

Hi, there.

Hello.
It's been awhile. :)

I caught a cold this weekend, but still managed to take
the kids to the beach on friday. We've been going to the beach
every weekend for the past few weeks. We usually go on saturday or sunday,
but since it's a holiday weekend, we decided to go on friday.
Plus, every friday they have fireworks. So the kids were excited about that. :)

My uncle bought a paddle board, and now I am totally addicted!
Even the kids are getting into it. :)
It's so much fun! Hehehe...






How's your weekend going so far?

The kids and I stayed home from church today. Bummed about that,
but it's better than getting other people sick with my germs.

I need a Vitamin C IV, but maybe a cold buster from Jamba Juice will do. :)

Feeling Sew Happy

It's been awhile since I've sewn anything.

So, today I made a circle skirt for Mimi using this knit flat sheet
I got from the thrift store. I'm also planning on making PJ pants
for Bub with this material since he loves Pokemon. :)


online and I thought it was a great idea, so I immediately
thought, "Hey, I can make that myself."

So here is my version of the Mommy Shopping Tote Bag. :)


I used canvas for the outside and this super cute "miffy" fabric
for the lining, and handles I got from the thrift store awhile back.
There is also a little zipper pocket inside. 

I also hand drew a "miffy" on the front of the bag. :)

I think it came out awesome!! Hehehe...I love it. 

Have an awesome day! :)
