Madilyn Rose (six months)
Here we are, another month older. As I’m writing this, Madilyn is inch-worming between my legs, trying to get to an orange link (her current favorite toy) on the other side of my feet. I plop her down...

First Friendships and the Gift of a Teddy Bear

Madilyn Rose (Seven Months)
SO much happened this month with our little girl that it’s a little hard to even wrap my mind around it all. “They grow up so fast” took on an entirely different meaning over the last few weeks; I...

Madilyn Rose (9 months)
Well, isn’t this funny…I ended up skipping Julia’s 8-month update, because we were incredibly busy that month, and it looks like the same holds true for Maddie-Roo. Life is just moving right along,...

Want, Need, Wear, Read for a 1-Year-Old Girl
Writing that title, “For a 1-year-old girl,” made me do a double take. Right now she’s almost 10 months old, and it’s blowing my mind. Since I shared her big sister’s list earlier this week, it’s time...

Surviving a Long Week (And Other Monday Stuff)
Last week was the longest. week. ever. Did anyone else feel that way? I mean, it really felt like it was never going to end. We celebrated the end of that ridiculous week with pizza delivery, because I...

Madilyn Rose One Year Old!
My little girl turned one this weekend. O-N-E. If this little fact shocks you, since her last post was when she was merely 9 months old, well…you’re not alone. Her birthday came out of nowhere. I know...

What’s Up, Friday?!
I had a completely different post almost ready for today, but instead of working on it last night I relaxed. I took a bath, watched an episode of Jane the Virgin on the computer, and then caught up on...

Living on Breast Milk and String Cheese
We’re in a strange transition over here; the awkward point where my baby’s finally realizing that she doesn’t have to scarf down everything we put in front of her. In other words, she’s growing up and...

Tips to Help a Teething Baby
It’s funny how parents blame just about anything on teething. Fussy baby? Teething. Kid refusing to eat? Must be teething. Sleepless nights? Clearly, the baby is getting all of her teeth at once. It’s...

Family Photos in Savannah, Georgia
A few weekends ago we road-tripped down to Savannah, GA, for a couple of days. Savannah is easily my favorite spot in Georgia, and I wanted to visit one last time before we moved. There was also an...

Taking Pictures with my Girls
During our family photo session I was adamant about taking pictures with my kids. Except for random selfies here and there, I don’t make it a point too often to make sure I’m in the frame with them. I...

How to Make Brushing Teeth Fun for Toddlers
Come in close, because I’m going to give you some real talk for just a minute: we haven’t made a big deal about Julia’s teeth brushing habits, and I’ve felt totally guilty about it. She brushes her...

Creating Yearly Photo Books
I’m notorious for taking hundreds of pictures, and then just keeping them on my phone until I absolutely have to move them to my computer. I try to intentionally print some out here and there, and I’ve...

Pretty Little Things for Girls
One of the perks of having a girl is getting to dress her up in pretty little things. Headbands and bows on their bald little heads (or on top of a full head of hair if you’re lucky), ruffles on the...
