Yesterday was one of those moments as a parent that I will never forget… I had to take Holden to LA and sat in traffic on a Friday afternoon for nearly 3 hours. Meanwhile Elliott had an on stage dress rehearsal…fortunately Jay had the day off and my mother-in-law is here so the two of [...]
Look out HGTV ~ we have a way of covering walls with good old-fashioned school/office supplies. Just get yourself some ruled notebook paper and some tape leftover from Christmas wrapping and you can customize any room to your liking. Peace signs & hearts if you’re a first grader. Elliott recently semi took over our guest [...]
We officially have a first grader… She confidently stood in line, marched into class, found her seat and welcomed her first day of the 2011-2012 school year. Thanks to Lolo & Lola for the new school duds ~ she looked adorable! ***** One down, one to go…Holden starts tomorrow.
This little one is starting FIRST grade tomorrow… These pics were taken almost exactly SIX years ago. It was an impromptu photo shoot at Pottery Barn Kids that we were pressured into unable to say no to and ended up costing me a huge chunk of my last disability check….but in hind sight was worth every [...]
It’s been an emotional week. Coming off a {party high} with family visiting last weekend and then {celebrating the life} of a dear, dear family friend on Wednesday. I’ve looked forward to this long Memorial Day weekend with absolutely NO plans. Usually we celebrate Elliott’s birthday, but decided to do it a week early this [...]
Tadpole Catching ~ Hula Hooping ~ Creek Wading ~ Dust Flying ….and SO much more! Stay tuned for more of Elliott’s {woodsy} Birthday Party.
Packing up the car with lots of fun stuff this morning. Off to celebrate {a week early} this girly girl….. How can she be {almost} SIX? We just celebrated her turning ONE with a jungle-themed party what seems like a year ago! Caution: This girl goes from ONE to SIX in 60 seconds. {Sad face.} [...]
My little one is back to being wrapped up in the soft, red blanket. With a Rascal on the side. She went to school yesterday, but came down with another fever last night. Plus, she is still complaining of her neck hurting for the 5th day in a row now. We need to get to [...]
Man it’s been windy up in these parts last night and today… branches litter the ground and the power went out in the middle of the night. I awoke at 5:37am to find the Bose blinking 12:01 and the printer restarting so I immediately knew we’d lost power sometime during the night. I woke little [...]
Elliott received her kindergarten award yesterday… Looks like she inherited the love for writing & drawing. Her award was for {Journal Writing}. Possibly a future high school newspaper staffer like her mama? Or, if it’s not already passé, maybe even a blogger! We’re so proud and thrilled that her {creative gene} is sprouting. {Write} on, [...]
