I Walk the Line

Yesterday, the Little Man and I participated in the March of Dimes March for Babies. It's a cause near and dear to my heart. My Little Man was born early-at 34 weeks vs full term of 40-with respiratory issues and questionable sepsis (he wasn't!). I serve on the family advisory council at the hospital where he was born, as a way of gratitude for the awesome care he received.

It was a perfect spring day for the 5 mile walk. There were hundreds of participants, all walking for the same cause. To me, that makes my heart sing! Little Man said I was moving too slow, so he skipped off ahead of me. Guess he's growing up way too fast!

For the walk, I made a tutu to wear (this is a big trend with color runners!). Thanks to some great tutorials on Pinterest, I had one done lickety split.

You need
Tulle (I used purple & white-the March of Dimes colors)
Ribbon (use a thinner ribbon-makes it easier to tie)

Measure your waist and add 8 inches to tie.
Measure how long you want your skirt to be. Add 2 inches for knotting. Cut strips of tulle . Tie it to the ribbon.

That's it!
