Make your own nursing bra

After a grueling search for a nursing bra that is comfortable and padded (reducing 'headlight' infractions) I found this site to make your own. I am now off to go buy a few bras. I plan to cut the clasps out of the bras I used while nursing Killian and re-sew them into the new bras.
I can't even begin to relay how excited I am at the thought of being able to wear a push-up and have some oomph while being a milkmaid!
Who knew you could put those giant things to good use in more than one way at a time?

Homemade Bread, all vegan friendly and everything

As usual I found this on Allrecipes and changed it drastically. The result was super-duper yummy fresh baked bread. I am still experimenting with other changes but I've listed the two recipes that have so far turned into the best baked loaves.

Light & Fluffy Bread

  • 1 cup warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 3 tablespoons white sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons, or 1 packet, active dry yeast
Using the order listed above, place all ingredients into the bread machine.
Set to dough cycle.
Once mixing is complete you can remove your dough from the machine.
Knead into a ball, then stretch to resemble a thick rectangle, approximately the same size as your loaf pan.
Punch dough into greased loaf pan
Set on counter and allow to rise again
Once dough is over the top of your pan place in oven
Bake 375' for 25 minutes
