We Got Our Ears Pierced!!!!!

'Punching Holes in Perfeclty Good Ears!'

I can still hear it to this day, 'pinching holes in perfectly good ears!' That's what my dad said she I got my ears pierced for the first time, then when my sister got here done, then when I got mine done again, and again, and, well, you get the picture.

So charly has been asking for almost a year, I think, to get her ears pierced. And every time I have said in the past that, it will poke a little but we can do it if you think your ready...' The answer has been a resounding, 'no!' She was a bit afraid of the pain.


But just before her birthday she started asking more frequently and when I told her that it would pinch for a minute she said it would be ok. So I thought we could do it for her birthday.


It has taken us until recently to finally take her in but we did it this weekend and can I say that I am so proud of my little girl. Not a flinch, not a tear, not even an 'ouwie it hurts'.

We went with a friend of hers and they did it together. It was so exciting for her. She has shown everyone that will look.

Now we are counting down the days until she can change them. Six weeks they said, until we can change them out. We are on day two...

Daddy wanted to have them done when they were infants but I had reservations then about it because I didn't want to hear her cry and I didn't want to take care of them. Then now that she was ready, he had reservations because he didn't want to hear her cry. By I felt like she was old enough to take care of them mostly on her own. Only time will tell I suppose but so far so good. She has been diligent about making sure she cleans the. And turns them 3 times per day.

The little one wanted me to take her picture but when I asked her if she was interested in getting her ears done she said she didn't want 'a pinch'. She was happy with the prospect of still using stick-ons.

Do you have girls and when did you let them get their ears pierced?

We're you worried?

Did they cry?

DIY Soap Pump From a Mason Jar

Mason Jar Soap Pump

So I have seen these all over the Internet lately and have been just dying to make one!  I really love the old blue Ball jars but could not fathom cutting a hole in the lid of one for some reason. Just me I guess, I mean what else are you going to use it for, right?  But I just couldn't do it. So for now I just used a jar I had lying around but will at least put it in a blue jar with a regular lid at some point I'm sure. 

But here it is: How to make a mason jar pump soap dispenser. 

All you are going to need is:

One mason jar

An old pump (like from a lotion or other soap dispenser)

A glue gun

A screw driver

A hammer

(Or a drill press if you have one)

First poke a hole in your lid with the screw driver and hammer. 

Now pry back the metal until it is big enough to fit the bottom portion of your pump through.  (It's not pretty but it doesn't much matter. It will all be covered!) 

Hot glue the pump to the lid. 

And fill the jar with your favorite soap (or some you have made).

Done!  Aren't they so stinkin' cute!  I really live them. Hey may be Christmas presents this year. It's early enough that I will have time to stock up I think.  

How easy, right?  This is seriously about a 10 minute project.
