I mentioned the other day that my girls are kinda-sorta into being princesses. “Kinda-sorta” meaning they eat, sleep and breathe it. Thanks to some Tar-jay gift cards from a beloved Aunt and Uncle, they are now doing all of the above. While looking like Princesses. Meet Rapunzel and Cinderella. Who – for the last 3 days – have refused to… Read More
our littlest valentines
Really have no idea what Valentine’s Day is all about yet. Because they’re not interested in boys. Or cards. Or chocolates. Okay, maybe definitely, they dig the chocolates. But – even without the trappings of Valentine’s Day – they are still learning what love is all about. From a daddy that loves them dearly. So much, in fact, that he… Read More
no, david.
No, David is a huge favorite with the littlest girls around here. Maybe it’s because it makes them feel so splendidly obedient in comparison to David. Or maybe they just really dig a boy that can be so incredibly naughty. I sure hope the latter isn’t the case. Anyway, the girls ask to read these books all the time. When… Read More
fit for a princess
On Wednesday mornings, Chris goes to a men’s Bible study. Where they eat donuts. Evidently, all the guys there think we need the donuts more than anyone. Because Chris always has a box full in hand when he comes home. Doggoneit. This morning, I surprised the girls when they woke up with donuts. On their new pink dishes – some… Read More
her little hand
This picture, at first glance, looks like a child’s scribble. And it is. But it is so. much. more. Y’all probably know this, but for those of you who might not, Poppy’s special need is missing fingers on her left hand, also known as symbrachydactyly. It’s pretty much a non-issue in our day-to-day existence. In fact, I’ve found myself completely… Read More
Sunday Snapshot: {ellie’s caramels}
We make these every year. Okay. More like we make these every year I have the inclination to make them. I made them last year for my neighbors and it was such a success – seriously, my neighbors were stopping me after Christmas to ask me about them – I decided to expand my efforts to include teacher gifts this… Read More
oh christmas tree
This year we decided to venture beyond our local Christmas tree lot. And we found a small tree farm just outside of town. I’m not sure if the kids had more fun picking a tree, or playing among them. Eventually we found it. Our tree. And we brought it home. I have a feeling it’s going to be a wonderful… Read More
Sunday Snapshot: {the littlest}
My babies. This mini photo shoot was spur-of-the-moment. The weather was perfect and all the girls wanted to do was run around outside. And all I had to do was follow them. Oh, and promise them candy. First is Miss Poppy. Just turned 3. Thinks she’s 23. She loves to get her nails painted. And has been known to call… Read More
on my heart
November is National Adoption Month. And yesterday was Orphan Sunday. So the subject of adoption has been occupying a lot of my brain matter lately. As a momma to seven beloved children that were once considered orphans, adoption is often on my mind. But I’ve been reminded that I want my passion for adoption to be more than something that… Read More
a (cute) little reminder
Just wanted to remind y’all that we are still receiving donations for Fill Their Stockings with Hope this Christmas. And we could really use your help. Donations so far this year are down significantly… and this is where we hope you’ll come in. Pretty please? If you’re considering donating but don’t have a lot to spare, consider partnering up with… Read More
