I swear, every day it gets a little bit cooler and cooler here! And the breeze that I once practically begged for during the summer is beginning to become a nuisance to my poor ears! Hats are about to be a necessity for outside time, but my son refuses to wear one. That is, until he saw this cute shark hat I made!
I found this pattern through Repeat Crafter Me here. The sizing seems to be pretty accurate and I just love how cute it came out! She has a ton of other free patterns, including more hats that I'll have to add to my to-do list for sure!
When people find out that I have infant twins, I get a lot of different types of responses. Many of these are looks of horror or a pat on the shoulder with a "good luck to you" as they back away slowly. Believe it or not, I cherish the few positive comments of being blessed because I truly believe we are. We've hit the baby jackpot as I like to say. We've been blessed with not one, but two babies and a boy/girl combo at that!
Now, this life certainly isn't easy, but seeing as these are my first children, it's all I know. So, how do I find time to remain me and enjoy the things I used to do before I became a mom. One simple word...naptime.
I've learned to cherish the silence, whether it be for 30 minutes or several hours. It's funny how I used to hate the silence in my house, particularly when my husband was deployed. Now, I see it as a blessing and have truly learned to enjoy it.
Naptime is me time, when I can explore my crafty side or play in the kitchen. When it's over though, the mom hat goes back on, and I couldn't be happier to care for these little love nuggets. This is my life, and I'm grateful for every minute.
