Our neighbor has this perfect wooden fence...I never thought to stick Sadie in front of it for our photo shoots, but I love it! There were some people looking at the house for sale across the street, they probably thought I was a weirdo, posing my daughter in front of a fence. If they'd only known it was for a blog! Then they really would have … [Read more...]

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. The other day, I went to grab something from the other room, and came back to a guilty look. "What are you doing?" I asked, thinking she was … [Read more...]

I get asked this question sometimes, or some form of it...How do you do it?

Sadie's baby dolls "needed" some new dresses...aren't they cute? I used this tutorial/free pattern, and sewed them up during the girls nap time.

That's not … [Read more...]

Sadie has a banana every morning for breakfast-so this felt food was sure to be a hit with her. Sure enough, she tried to eat it right away.(cue me: Sadie...stop eating the felt, please.)

To all the vegetarians out there; look away...I couldn't help but make a hamburger for Sadie's kitchen. She only recently started liking hamburgers, but only at In 'n Out. (YUMM) Everyone has their opinion on their burgers. Rory is not a fan. (and yet I still married him...)For those of you who don't have one of those nearby, I am truly, … [Read more...]
