Eve from Little Red Wren swooped in at the end of the day and won the journal for day 4 with “You are a zooey deschanel faux bois vintage little people.” And I can’t do much better than that because I love all those things too. There were some awesome comments last night, I actually laughed out loud when Leah said “You are Hawaii sunsets clean underwear cinnamon rolls.” And then my husband asked why I was laughing, and I said “it’s a long story” and he said “do you have somewhere to go?” which is hilarious because I never go anywhere. He is such a Fighting Irish Internet Steak. He makes me laugh. But I digress… There is a new journal to win today (my favorite of the bunch.)

More Rich Jam Muffins
Jacinda’s recipe for Rick’s Rich Jam Muffins is a Prudent Baby favorite. I just wanted to tell you that this weekend, along with my tried and true Tangerine Vanilla Bean Marmalade version, I tried some with Grape Jelly, some with Red Pepper Jelly, and a few with Olive Tampenade, and whether sweet or savory, they were all yummy! 
I added a little dollop of the filling to the top of each so I could see what was inside them later. These are simple, quick, and a good way to sneak some type of fruit-based food into your baby’s belly. If you’re evil like me, you can tell your child they’re cupcakes and congratulate yourself when she believes you!
I served them in a Vintage Lace Bowl wrapped in a Ric Rac Napkin to keep them warm. Get the Rick’s Rich Jam Muffins Recipe here!

DIY Legwarmers Part 3-Tube Socks!
Stevee’s legwarmers (and Jaime’s) reminded me that I had these fun socks hiding out in my drawer. Now Quinn is pulling off the tube-sock look much better than I ever did. I saw some pretty sweet tube socks for $1.50 in Walmart. There was a wall of them (all the same, orange and citron stripes) in ladies socks. Walmart is weird. I do love that you can buy bias tape and bananas and tube socks while getting an oil change. I think tube socks would be an excellent choice for boy legwarmers.
PS. Since I knew you style mavens will ask, those adorable shoes are from Umi.
