My baby girl is 9 months old today. We weighed her on the bathroom scale the other day and she’s only 14.5 pounds. Little girl! But she is growing so much in other ways. She signs “milk,” “more,” “potty,” “finished,” waving hello and goodbye, and most recently “diaper” and “want.” At first she was using…
One of my favorite names in Children’s Clothing contacted me recently about doing a review for them. I was SO excited to oblige. I loooove Tea Collection and have drooled over their catalogues since before I was even pregnant. Their Girl’s Clothing is wayyyyy too cute, especially the dresses. They have really cute collections you…
For a long time (since she has been sitting up), I’ve been meaning to create a treasure basket for Anneliese. Full of things that are beautiful to look at and touch, that feel different from each other (unlike her plastic toys, which all feel the same), things that are interesting for her to explore.

We met up at Hidden Valley park, which has rolling hills of grass, a duck pond, and playgrounds. Anneliese got to wear her new sun hat, and I got to break in my awesome waterproof-backed…
I just haven’t been on the computer much. Solo parenting + trying to make sure I see REAL PEOPLE in REAL LIFE = tired/busy/not home much. But awesome. Because that’s what happens when you have great friends. Lots of starbucks baby dates happened. Here’s Anneliese and Kaitlynn. Having a little baby squabble. Soooo cute. Like…
My mother-in-law is visiting this week, to visit with the baby and help out and keep me company while my husband is away again. Very sweet! And it’s been a nice week so far. The other day, we went to JoAnn fabrics, where I didn’t really need anything, but came out with about $60 worth…
