Grow Your Own Easter Basket Grass

Do you hate dislike that tacky, plastic Easter grass as much as I do? Thought so.

A quick search will yield tons of tutorials on how to grow your own real grass for an Easter basket. But I think THIS is one I'm going to use. Cute, right?

If you plan to do it, get started right away because it takes a week to 10 days for the grass to grow.

I'll let you know how it goes. And please let me know your results too, mkay?

Tip Tuesday - "Double-sheeting"

One of my favorite tips to give new moms is to "double-sheet" the bed. This works for older infants, toddlers, and even big kids.

Here's how to do it:

When you make up your baby's/child's crib or bed, layer the bedding like this (from top to bottom):

Fitted sheet

Waterproof mattress pad

Fitted sheet

Waterproof mattress pad

Mattress

This way, if you child has a leaky diaper, wets the bed, vomits, etc. in the middle of the night, all you have to do it remove the top layer and you have clean bedding. So much faster than having to complete change the bedding at 2 am! I always did this when the little prince was a baby and I still do it if he has a stomach virus. Just makes life a little easier :)
