Potty Training Woes

O.k so I get that potty training isn't easy. I get it's differen't for everyone, but really,Really!!! SO here's what I've tried....potty training in one day....skittles/mnm's rewards.....Punishment.......talking.....potty watch ....and prob a few other things I just can't thinl of right now... It's been two years and while the potty watch has been the biggest sucess when shes not wearing it its awful so today ( she'll be 4 the 30th) We we're leaving preschool and I begged her to go she said no I don't need to waited till I put her in her carseat and then came the floods...then We go to ballett and I get home ask her to go potty she says no and the floods come again......then she ask me to play her vtech with her and i do and we're playing and i notice the carpet is a darker shade of blue you guessed it ...... I know she knows when to go because while not wearing her panties we never ever have an accindent ,but as soon as she puts anything over that tutu of hers its time to let the dam loose and the floods come.............. I mean I knew this was hard but really.....I'm litereally loosing hair from the stress. If shes not potty trained by september no preschool and she needs preschool. I have gave it over to the Lord and asked for his help, but help or not this is one stressed upset momma. I mean my child is perfect, polite,honest,doesn't have a mean bone in her body this is her only gliche and whhew what a gliche... She'd rather play pee and know she gets in trouble than take 2 minutes out to go potty and come back ......I know to someone who's never potty trained, or had a super quick potty training experience this may seem crazy, but I have cried form stress and feeling like im a failure as a mom so many nights. Is there anyone else out there like me , or am I just one crazy mom!!!!!

My obssession with Milk Glass

Thank's to my Amazing Mother-in-Law I was introduced into the world of milk glass. She has a huge collection I just oodle over. I love the fact that it's so reto yet modern in every way. I love all the lines curves and textures each piece has yet the clean look the milk glass gives it. So as you can see I'm a fan. We'll I've started my own collection, and wanted to share some of the amazing finds I've found.

The First Piece I found was at an antique store in Stone Mountain,Ga It;s not the thicker milkglass I'm madly in love with ,but I was excited it was only 2.99

I found my next piece in Lawrenceville Flea and Antique I paid 4.99 for it but I love the fact it's a waffle bowl Icecream dish so 50's Era


I found the next two at an Antique Mall in Rome,Ga it's Huge if you ever visit Rome this is my Favorite Antique Mall. I paid $4.99 for the large square one I think it was once used as a planter, but have used it as a cracker dish etc. I paid 2.99 for the small round pedestal one which i find very sleek and awesomely Modern.






Lastly but certainly not least I found two In Dalton when Me and My daughter went to stay a week with my parents. The first piece wa also the thinner milk glass but I got it for $1.00 so I couldn't pass it up. The Second Piece is a Treasure I love the lace around the Rim I found it at Providence Thrift store for $3.99

Crafty Idea's for a party or shower

So If anyone knows me well you should know I'm a very thrifty person. If it's not on sale and I don't have a coupon for that sale item I usually don't get it. That being said I threw my childhood B.F.F a baby shower. She had like 7 differen't showers, typicall baby decor etc, and I wanted mine to be unique, but I also wanted to buy things I could reuse for My daughters Birthday party and party's I throw in the future. I came up with a Sweet Treats Theme it was like a 50's candy shop. Here's some crafty ideas I used. The Family Dollar store was having a 50% off clearance on all there summer stripped cups bowls etc so I took full advantage. I bought several bowls and misc platters for like $2-3 a piece they had 3 packs of minature buckets in the same color schem for $1.99 and I used those for nuts dip etc.

I also Got 50 Invitations for Free from VistaPrint ,a Free Personalized T-shirt, Personalized Baby Magnet for there Car, and a Personalized Stamp with theirs and the baby's name on it for Christmas again all for free all I had to pay for was shipping.I went with the whole 50's postcard theme and they had this amazing candyshoppe background







I made a Candy Bar by covering a box with paper and placing various glass cups I got at the Dollar tree on it.I bought nostalgic candy in the color scheme of my party. Here's a money saving tip if you need candy of a certain color after easter its all on clearance and they have pink blue,yellow,green..etc





I bought some old record's and covered them with new labels I just cute a circle out of cardstock the same size as the label glued it on got some pill and stick letters and walla custom albums. The said things like "diaper duty blues" "Narcolepsy her I come" "Nates Gurlz" etc. I had one on each table as a centerpiece with a cup full of cotton candy. I also made washcloth lollipops as a centepeice for each cup!!





I made brownies,mini cupcakes,chocolate covered bacon, chips with homeade salsa,finder sandwich's, and my favorite chocolate covered marshmellows ( look like cupcakes)


So there's my party hope it's an inspiration for more crafty fun ideas!!
