Starting a small business with a toddler is no easy task, but I am determined to do it.

I crochet and I am working on creating my own patterns for these adorable animal blankets. I have made a horse one so far using my own pattern which will also be for sale, after it has been tested. I will also be making a bear one, and a dog one. I will also be working on a boy doll and a girl doll.

It is so hard when my daughter doesn't want me on the computer or doesn't want me to crochet. So I do most of my work while she naps or when she goes to bed for the night. Like right now as I am typing my daughter is playing with my screen and trying to pull me away from the computer.

I accept checks and the item will be shipped after the check has cleared. The blankets are $20 + shipping. And the patterns are $5 when they become available for purchase. I am accepting orders now, but please allow up to two weeks for the finished product (sometimes I make them faster it just depends on how much free time I get) I hope to set up a paypal account in the near future, so check back for more details.

If you would like to order one of these blankets, please send me an email at joyofchrist777@gmail.com. Please let me know how many? and what colors? 

My toddler talks all the time. She learns and says new words every week. Her newest words are egg, up, norm norm(my mom has a dog named norman), milk, and sit.


She loves to watch super why, and at 18 months she actually interacts with the show.


My daughter also loves books, but if you try to read to her she just tries to take the book away from you, and read it herself. LOL. so cute, and a little annoying because she is still at the ripping of pages stage. But thank god for scotch tape. At least it makes interesting tales to tell her when she gets older.


She loves to close the door to her playroom and she plays quietly or she opens the door and says boo. Sometimes she loves to play independently and other times she needs me in her room, more often than not just to observe, she doesn't really want me to play :(. All a part of growing up, but she is still a major mommy's girl.

cooking with a toddler

I wanted my 17 month old daughter to help me with making a cake. Well needless to say she had fun. I ended with a very slippery floor.

 She loves to help and I let her pour the ingredients, when she got to the oil it ended up on me and the kitchen floor. She also liked that she could stand on a chair, when that is usually a no no.

 She watched the cake while it cooked, saying yummy yummy

  I let her have a little taste of the batter, lil miss chocolate face.

We will frost it later and I will try to take some pics of that mess too. lol
