“Mama! Did you know that I am a Princess?” “Why yes, baby, I did know that!” “See my pretty skirt?! Look, I can twirl!” “I see that! So lovely!” “I love being a Princess, Mama!” “I know you do baby. And you’re such a pretty one at that…” This is a typical conversation between me…
Talkin’ ’bout my girl
I haven’t written specifically about K in a while. I think sometimes I am still amazed that she is mine. That I have a daughter. A spunky, bossy, girly-girl that doesn’t take “No” for an answer, princess-loving GIRL. On any given day her hair is a tangled mess, she has food on her face and…
It’s Raining, It’s Pouring…
When it rains here, it POURS. And a couple of weeks ago we got a TON of rain in within a day or so and ended up with a little “lake” in our backyard. Of course K thought it was perfect for playing in… … and double “of course”, without her rain boots on her…
The “H” Word
You know how you have this idea to record your adorable kid(s) because they are just so “DANG CUTE” lately and so you run and get your phone to keep their latest milestone and super cuteness for posterity? And to post it on your blog for all of your twenty-ish readers to see?? Yeah, that…
On Bike Helmets and Growing Up
Since K is my last “baby” I seem to be a little more um… sensitive to her firsts and her milestones (read: I’m freaking out a little about the fact that she is my last baby and OHMYGAWD what a mess I will be in a couple of years when she goes to Kindergarten!!) {Except the no-more-diapers…
Just the Two of Us
Blue sky, blue eyes, coral vest and green grass (and weeds). Purple shoes, pink blooms and her favorite scarf with hearts. Blonde hair and yogurt-trimmed lips. A sweet, little girl who hardly stops talking and asking questions. Swinging together and bouquets from the backyard. Sun shining and birds chirping with Spring in the air, it’s almost here….
Nap Talk (and a cutie-patootie video)
So, one of the last things my last baby has yet to outgrow is the NAP. K is quickly approaching 3 and half years old (shiz, how did THAT, happen!?!) and her brothers both stopped napping a little after 3 years old so this is kinda foreign to me. She’s still going pretty strong and…

“Her is Big Now”
We gathered on the “L”-shaped sofa, the five of us. Earlier that day we declared it family movie night and just minutes before we all settled down, we scrambled around our cozy, lived-in house, grabbing the right sized jammies for everyone, from the little to the big, and clothed ourselves in our comfiest of things. Flannel and…
My Kids Are SO Stinkin’ Cute, Don’t You Even Try to Deny It!
The little kids tag along to B’s soccer practice every week and we have to try to find stuff to do while he’s practicing. I decided this time that we would not pass the time with them fighting over who got to play on my phone. 
The park and fields are quite big and…
