I love pretty much everything about being a mom, but the one thing that I hate more than anything? My kids getting hurt. I am a total wimp when it comes to blood and injuries, and I do NOT handle it well. I knew it was just a matter of time before Owen ended up in…
30-Minute Baby Blanket
Hello, lovelies! Welcome to Taking Care of Monkey Business – SO glad you’re here. If you’re new, I’ll fill you in. I just had a baby, and just moved to a different state, so life is a little crazy around here! I’m talking, my-entire-craft-room-is-still-in-boxes-crazy.

Hanging Bucket Organizer
My little 2-year-old, Owen, is the sweetest little goober in the entire world. He loves to snuggle and give kisses, and his bright smile is so cute I can hardly stand it. BUT. He’s also… a menace.

DIY Burp Cloths
Why is it that the last few weeks of pregnancy move in S-L-O-W motion?! Honestly, I feel like this pregnancy has gone by really fast. The whole time, I kept thinking “wow! I’m really this far along?” Which is weird, because my other pregnancies seemed to take ages. But now that I’m in the home…
