Tell me about your picture, Lula. “Sun right here.” Pointing to, obviously, the sun. “And this ladybug. And this one. And this one.” “And this one and this one.” Evidently she drew more lady bugs than we can see here. “And this one you, mama.” Why did you draw mama with the ladybugs, Lula? “‘Cause the ladybugs go outside.” Hmmmm….

this is lula
She called for me today. Loudly, as usual. “Moooooooooooooooommyyyyyyyy!” And this is what I found. Bare butted. Her only covering – a self-selected, black and white knit flowered hat. On sideways. This is Lula. She knows what she likes. She makes no apologies. And lives life out loud. Sweet Lula. I do hope you won’t always need to call me… Read More
the stuff of childhood.
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
irresistible.
Dang, y’all. I am so excited. Because today, I get to introduce you guys – my orphan-loving, big-hearted friends – to something else that is close to my heart. The Cupcake Kids. If you’ve already heard about the Cupcake Kids, you know why I’m so smitten with what they do – and why they do it. If you’ve never heard… 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
Sunday Snapshot: {fishy face}
Tallula loves to imitate. Anyone. Anything. Anytime. Recently, she’s taken to making – or trying to make – a fishy face that she saw somewhere. We’re not quite sure where she picked it up, but one thing is for certain. This girl is determined to get her fishy face on. Allow her to demonstrate. Well done, my little fishy. Well… Read More
happy
One of Tallula’s best qualities is her exuberant spirit. She’s just a happy kid. Lately, though, she’s also been a sick kid. Our sweet baby has a fever, cough and is just generally miserable. In fact, we’ve been pretty much standing on our heads trying to find ways to help her feel better. And, thankfully, given the opportunity and the… Read More
Happy New Year
I posted this last night on Facebook. But I decided to share it here, too. Because, honestly, what better way to start the New Year than your oldest feeding your youngest Reddi-Whip straight from the can? It can only go up from here.
