Car Seat Tent/Canopy MY version with dual purpose!

I have less than a week to go with this pregnancy! I got out some leftover fabric from the baby's room decor, and decided to make MY own version of a car seat tent/canopy. You know, those things to keep breathing, coughing, nosy people away from your newborn :) Well, I winged it with the amount of fabric I had. My canopy ended up being about 36" wide by about 38" long. It was simple to make. I basically put two pieces of fabric right sides together with giant Ric rack in between and sewed them together, leaving an opening for turning right side out. I added two loops with Velcro to attach to the car seat handle.
Here's what I ended up with:

 Here is the lining:

 BUT WAIT! It gets better! I was on my way to make a new girly nursing cover, when the light bulb in my head went off! What if I just made a strap for my canopy so it could double as a nursing cover? So I used some fabric and mitten clips and made a strap. It reminds me a bit of a bib at the dentist :) Now I won't have to carry a million things around!

And yes, there's more! What woman with can't-sit-still-itis can settle for just one of these canopies? Not me! SO here's my second one (ruffles and all):

Yummy Cake Rice Krispies

I usually don't post too many recipes, but hey, I am pregnant and here is one recipe I just HAD to try immediately! (And it was love at first bite!)

Cake batter Rice Krispies

What you need:
6 cups Rice Krispie Cereal
7 Tablespoons of butter
1/3 cup cake mix (I used yellow cake mix)
1 bag mini marshmallows (I think they are about 10 oz)
1.75 bottle of sprinkles (I had a giant bottle, and just used enough until they looked "pretty")


Melt your butter in a huge pot. Add the entire bag of marshmallows. Stir constantly until they are melted. Add cake mix a little at a time and keep stirring. I turned off the heat here. Add the cereal and then most of the sprinkles. (Save some for decorating the tops of the treats). Spread sticky mixture into a greased 9x13 pan. Sprinkle on the remaining sprinkles. Cool, then cut into squares. Heaven!

And now for the shameless plug, I have a sale going on in my Etsy shop, Lalabua Baby. Thru Monday use code MEMORIALDAY to get 10% of any purchase!
