Fun Advent Calendar

I made these fun and inexpensive chewing gum advent calendars with the kids a couple of years back and they ask to do them again and again.  They make great gifts for friends, neighbors and teachers. For detailed instructions, check them out at My little mochi.

From a bit of sunshine: make something today :: teething necklace

I found this "how to" just a little bit brilliant. A lifesaver, really.  Can't get over this!! Get the directions for  this teething necklace :
My baby has been teething like crazy the past few weeks no actual teeth have popped through just yet but she is drooling and chewing up a storm on anything she can get into her mouth. This past weekend when we were exploring the city I had her with me in the ergo carrier and she was a busy bee. I kept thinking that I wish I had a necklace on that she could put in her mouth and play with that I wouldn't be picking up repeatedly and cleaning off. I thought that I might be able to make one myself using an old sheet and some beads. It didn't take long to put this one together and Josie seems to love it...
