When a baby becomes older than 12 months, a stay-at-home mom gets a bit of spare time to occupy with a part-time job. Of course, it is not enough for something serious and ambitious, but that will do for doing something at home. For example, when your child is asleep you can translate, write, edit, do web design and programming, bookkeeping, develop architectural projects, knit, sew and so on. It all depends on your skills and hobbies.
Someone more suitable option to prepare meals for take-out, small, close lying firms. You can still engage in the manufacture of colored edible ice for cafes, bars and restaurants. All that you need is to buy a form, fill it with water, add fruit/vegetable juice and freeze. Or you can start baking. Homemade products can be delivered a walk with the baby.
If a young mother has a good taste, it can offer services in the design of photo albums. You need a good camera to take high-quality pictures and if you don’t have it your option will be to buy a professional camera using one of short-term online loans offered on many websites. You can negotiate with relatives, shoot and make the album a memorable event as the meeting of the mother and child hospital. Some parents also like to arrange photo albums gradual development of the baby up to a year. To do this once a month, you can come in and give little photo shoot crumbs.
The simplest and most common way to earn money is a walk with the kids. When going with a child in the street, grab a neighbor kid for a small fee. Those who have suitable living conditions can arrange a home kindergarten for three or four children.

My son is not a big meat eater. We rarely feed him meals that include meat and when we do have meat he isn't always a big fan. I love finding vegetarian meals for him that he will love. Recently I was contacted by Greenie Tots to try out some of their meatless meals. The best part is they are soy free, contain no hormones, pesticides or high fructose corn syrup!
I picked the quesadilla ones because Ace is a huge fan of eating quesadillas when we go out. One was Chik'n, Cheese & Spinach Quesadillas with mixed veggies and Cheeseburger quesadillas with sweet potato fries. The first night we got them we tried the Chik'n ones and those were a huge hit with Ace. I even had a bite and really liked them. They filled him up which is hard to do because that boy loves to eat. He surprisingly ate all the veggies too.
With the cheeseburger ones he wasn't as big of a fan but I think that was because he wasn't as hungry. He decided to throw a lot of it on the floor but when he did try to eat his food he ate them and seemed to like it. He also liked dipping the sweet potato fries in ketchup that came with it.
Overall I would say these are a great option for vegetarian and non-vegetarian families. They are fast and easy for nights when you are on the run and healthy as well!

This past weekend I got to spend time with one of my besties, Kat, and her family. Our husbands went to the Daytona 500 and we had some girl time on Saturday, getting our nails done and then some kid time as well. Overall it was a great weekend. A little stressful with a toddler out of his element but overall I always enjoy being with them.
We got to their place late Friday night, Kat and I decided we needed to get working on a new project we are doing together and ended up staying up way too late. The next day we got up and took the kids to Chick-fil-a for breakfast and so they could play and get their energy out. The kids had so much fun together, it is always cute to see her daughters playing with Ace and taking on the big cousin role with him. Then we headed home and all got ready. We dropped the guys off at the race then Kat and I got pedis and had lunch. It was so nice it just being the two of us like old times.
After that we headed home and played outside with the kids. Ace loved being able to play on all the girls big kid stuff.
After that we went and got the guys and headed home to get ready for dinner out for Jaime's birthday. We went to La Fiesta, which was so good! Again, nice to have a night out just the adults. These moments are so rare for us.
The next day the guys headed back to the races and we spent the day with the kids just hanging out, going out to lunch and heading to the park. They have the coolest park ever near them. It is this huge ship playground and Ace just loved it. He had so much fun going down the slides and running around. They also had a walking trail which was great because he could just run and we didn't have to worry about him going off track.
After that Kat picked the guys up from the race and I hung with the kids. Then we all went outside and played tag and enjoyed our last moments together for the weekend. I always am sad to say goodbye to them. I have wanted to live close to them but for now I know it would be too difficult on us to move up there.
I am trying to work on a video from the weekend so if anyone has any tips on how to edit live footage with music I would love some ideas!

Our husbands will be going to the Daytona 500 while we do girlie things and hang with the kids. We will also be celebrating her husband's birthday Saturday night, Happy Birthday Jaime!
I know a lot of you have been following my shop Au Natural Baby Boutique on Facebook and saw the new dresses that I will be getting in! I am so excited to start offering women's clothing now. Since my orders are pending, which means they just make sure what I ordered is in stock and then they will send it, I can not take preorders at the moment. I know one of the dresses was on the iffy side if it was still in since I had it in my cart for awhile but I believe the rest are a sure thing so hang tight and when I get the confirmation that my order is on the way I will gladly take preorders for all my lovely fans out there!
If you haven't checked out my Facebook pages go do it now! I update them often and you can communicate with me a lot easier on there than on here or on email.
For those of you who are wondering about the dresses here is a sneak peak!

With spring and summer right around the corner and the fact that Florida is already super hot I decided to check out Pinterest and see what was out there. We all know the chevron print is totally in and I found the cutest dress! This Navy Chevron Print Belted Dress is to die for! I love this for dinner out with friends or a date night. It also is the perfect dress for lunch with your girlfriends because it is light and airy which means you won't feel over dressed.
I also wanted a pair of Boyfriend Jeans for running around running errands. It is a good compromise between shorts and regular jeans, don't you think? You can still manage to look put together and casual all at the same time. When it comes to going out at night just throw on a pair of simple black heels and a flowy top and you are good to go!
For a dressier look I love these Skinny Mini Skimmer Khakis, they are easy to wear and look stylish. During the day you can pair it with a simple white t-shirt and a pair of flats and dress it up at night with heels, some statement jewelry and even a khaki blazer.
I am a huge fan of loose tops in the spring and summer. It just adds to the laid back style of summer. This Chiffon Pullover in white is the perfect top to go with a pair of cut off shorts during the day or tucked into a body con skirt at night. It is a top you will end up wearing year round, guaranteed.
