silly girl

When I get Sadie up from her nap, I usually lay Charlotte down on her toddler bed while changing her Majesty's pooeyness.After THAT fun tradition is over, Sadie loves sitting next to her and chatting it up.

Only with a dark teal fabric for the waist. (Joanna, do you … [Read more...]

How do I do it?

I get asked this question sometimes, or some form of it...How do you do it? Sew....blog....blow your nose....(well, not that last one)PLEASE don't assume I, in any way, shape, or form, have it "all together". It's all smoke and mirrors folks!

outtakes

sometimes our little photo shoots don't go as planned...and I get gems like these:"zombie Sadie""the licker""the pouter""the cry baby" Don't worry, she was crying because she wanted to get off the chair...not because I was forcing her to pose. Well, I guess putting her on the chair and pointing a camera at her is the same thing...oh well. The point … [Read more...]

Charlotte hates baths.......looks cute in headbands...(look for a tutorial soon!)...and she has this girl totally confused.Poor thing. The Sadester just doesn't understand why mommy can't dote on her anymore! I can only partially dote on her these days. But really. We've been doing pretty good lately...it helps that Charlotte sleeps. A LOT. just … [Read more...]

Just had to gush for a little bit....getting used to our new normal....feeling pretty good about our new normal. (right now at least!)...loving on this cute face. … [Read more...]

Well, it's not exactly HERE yet, but will be soon. Hopefully I have some time to … [Read more...]

glimpse

here's a glimpse into our life lately...Diaper bag and hospital bag packed and waiting...I think I'm ready physically. Mentally? maybe not.Freshly painted toesies...there must be some kind of DNA girls have that tells you how to walk after a pedicure, you know, with your toes curled up? Cause Sadie was totally doing that. Hilarious!Can't let over … [Read more...]
