No CommentsOh, Brother
Chris and I spent the weekend in Huntsville, Alabama, with his family. It amazes me how quickly Ria is growing every time I see her! She started kindergarten a week and a half ago, and her English is coming along really well. Next big challenge: out-smarting those big brothers of...

3 CommentsCloth Diapering
The rest of our cloth diapers for Mackenzie should arrive from Cotton Babies later today. This order has small BumGenius AIOs, newborn Bummis Super Whisper Wraps, and pre-folds.

No CommentsBlue Velvet Shoes
I had hoped to be learning to take much more professional photos with Chris’ Nikon by now, but it has to go back to the manufacturer for repair. In the meantime, my iPhone + CameraBag app do just fine. I used the Lolo filter for this one. Today I am hitting the ground running, and...

No CommentsThe Pen Story [Video]
Gabrielle over at DesignMom shared this video on her blog the other day, and I had to share it hear, just in case your world doesn’t intersect with hers. According to Gabrielle, “Apparently, when making it, they shot 60,000 pictures and developed 9,600 prints.” This is exactly the kind of video Chris would love to...

4 CommentsPanic + Epiphany
The other day as I was researching mother’s day out options in Nashville, I had a moment of panic as I realized that the earliest age any of the programs I found accepted children was six months. Most of them started at the age of two. I’m not sure why this surprised me, but suddenly...

1 CommentA Pretty Pink Room
We’ve been busy this week making some major headway setting up Mackenzie’s nursery. I love how it is turning out so far! On Tuesday night, I put together the dresser we bought for her at IKEA. We’re going to build a guard to fit around the top to hold the changing pad. On Wednesday night...
