Shark Week Treats Part 1

7.06.2015

Shark Bait Candy Dish // Shark Party // Shark Treats

Oh the gloriousness of Shark Week is upon us! Yesterday marked the beginning of the most wonderful week of the year (or so the Discovery channel is telling me). I prefer to call a week on the beach in Mexico the ‘most wonderful week’ of the year, but no. Discovery channel has decided it will be this week. Shark Week.

For those of you that are unaware that there is a thing called Shark Week, you should do yourself a little favor and do some research. Google Shark Week and let your mind be blown. It would be a little fishy if you didn’t. (See what I did there?)

Shark Bait Candy Dish // Shark Party // Shark Treats

I love Shark Week, and have already set my DVR to record all the shows I want to see this year. And because no real holiday is complete without a craft or two to celebrate, this week I will share with you some Sharktastic treats!Shark Bite Vase // How-To

First up: A Shark Bite treat bowl, complete with “Shark Bait.” Could anything be cuter than this? I bought a small clear vase at the Dollar Tree, taped off “teeth” with painters tape, and spray painted it white. Pulled the tape off, filled it with gummy worms, and attached this tag. Done and done. Should you want to create this dish for a party instead of Shark Week, you can print this tag instead.

      Yeah I totally thought of that! Would be super cute at an ocean/shark party! Plus, we live in San Jose and we have the San Jose Sharks here (NHL), so we can use it for that too!

    Very cute. Is it Shark Week again already? That can’t be right! Ugh, time flies when you’re gettin’ old.

      Yeah it does. It’s supposed to fly when you’re having fun, but really it just flies when you’re old.

When I became a stay at home mom, I thought it wou When I became a stay at home mom, I thought it would only be for a year at most. But as it turned out, I was lucky to be able to make it last as long as it has. What no one ever tells you though about becoming a SAHM, is that your whole identity can get wrapped up in being a mom. And for some women, that’s not a good thing. But for me, it’s a phenomenal thing. It’s an incredible time in my life that I wouldn’t trade for anything. That doesn’t mean I’m not exhausted or irritated at all, it just means I’ll take all of the negatives because the positive completely outweighs it for me. 

This should go without saying, that if you AREN’T satisfied with just being a mom, that’s okay too. For some women, having something else that is THEIRS makes them a better mom. And more power to you!

Back when I was growing up (wayyyyyyy back then), Back when I was growing up (wayyyyyyy back then), it seemed like most people grew up around their extended families. By the time I was in my twenties, it just seemed more likely that you’d be living away from your home towns, starting your own life. But what we didn’t realize was what that meant down the road, when we would start our own families. That our village wouldn’t be made of our family, but instead close friends. The only problem with that, is that most other young parents are working to support themselves, thus aren’t always available to be your village. It can be hard to ask a friend for help when you know she’s simultaneously drowning in her own house. 

So if it “takes a village,” but you’re doing it on your own, I see you. It’s HARD, and it is exhausting. But one day we will be on the other side of these days, telling our babies that it takes a village. And hopefully, we will be right down the road to help them. 🩵

After having my first daughter, I felt like I knew After having my first daughter, I felt like I knew a lot about parenting. I had it down, we had a routine and a schedule and she was pretty easy to handle. Then we had a second. And I realized that everything I THOUGHT I knew about parenting was a lie. I wasn’t a pro at “parenting,” I was a pro at parenting HER. Now I do everything I can not to laugh when a mom of only one child talks like I did. I get it, we’ve been there too, and I’m not judging. But the more kids you add in, the more experience you get as a parent. Because every personality is SO different, that the way you parent one isn’t always the same as the way you parent the others. 

Thoughts?
When I heard this audio, I instantly loved it. It’s such a crazy thing to see in nature, that God is showing us just how stressful and depleting being a new mama can be. 

So if you’re in the thick of it mama, just know you’ll get your pink back soon.

We can’t always wait around for someone else to We can’t always wait around for someone else to take the videos we want of us with our babies. Set up the camera and take it yourself, you won’t regret it for a second.

I don’t think we talk enough about how great it I don’t think we talk enough about how great it feels when your child feels safe with someone else. It may be a family member or a best friend, but it’s such a good feeling to know they have another rock in their life.
