PinTries - This No Sew DIY produce bag

Yes I am on a role this evening!! I have been wanting to cut down on the amount of waste and garbage we produce. Especially plastic bags!

I happened across a lovely blog on Pinterest about how to DIY your own produce bag from an old shirt. It was very easy and simple.
But I'll admit, some days I just don't feel like sewing or have the time or space to haul my machine out. SO...

I thought of a NO SEW solution!

Take a simple tank top (I got this free from a friend) They are inexpensive as anything and the straps act as built in handles!

Simply turn the tank inside out and tie the end.

Then turn the tank right side out again and voila!!!

You have the option of cutting slits into it if you'd like, but the material on this particular tank was breathable that I did not see the point in doing so.

I am already looking around the house for tanks of various sizes and colors. Even at the camis my daughters no longer wear.

Have fun and again, feel free to leave comments below.

PinTries - Grilled Eggplant Stuffed with Spinach and Cheese

Yup you heard right, sounds yummy doesn't it?!!

I was at an old favorite restaurant of mine recently and I saw this on the menu. Of course it was awesome. Once I got home I decided to look on Pinterest to see if could find a recipe so I could duplicate it myself!

Came across this lovely blog site entitled, "Yummy Mummy!" (what an adorable title)
Here is the link to the original recipe http://www.yummymummykitchen.com/2009/05/grilled-eggplant-stuffed-with-spinach.html

I followed the recipe to the letter.
And here is my outcome:

Not too shabby I have to say:)

What I recommend for next time is brushing the tops of the eggplants with olive oil or something like it.

Give it a shot. I am totally open to suggestions below!

Pinable - Co-sleep ideas

Goodness its been a while! Vacation does that to you! But I am back with more ideas!

The image above is of a changing pad/pillow. We had one on top of our dresser in the baby room. There are many uses for these wonderful inventions. (BTW, this photo is from Land of Nod products) I know many out there DIY their own and that is wonderful.

On to the first use:

1) You can use these pads as a co-sleeping product. By simply placing it between you and your mate or you and the wall (if your bed is positioned in such a way)
It keeps you from bumping baby, its inexpensive and the raised sides keep baby in place.

2) these are great for around the house to keep baby in place as well. Whether you keep baby napping near you or you have to run to the potty (hey it happens), this wonderful product works well.

This saves you have money and space from those larger co-sleeping devices.

This one is short!

I welcome comments and other suggestions for this lovely item.
