personalized plates

I've been looking at special day plates for a special someone who will be turning the big 0-4.
We could go to the local pottery store, but some of these on etsy are OH SO CUTE!

These are from limabeankids




This is a fun one for Easter.

A day in the life of a super hero


Sometimes even the occasional super hero stops to read the "eggs and meat" book.

They eat "chickens, ducks, and rabbits" for energy

They are not immune to bad hair days and sometimes forget to zip their pants.

Even super heroes need the occasional "poo poo powder" to keep them regular.

They entertain their peers.

And that sums up the adventures of yesterday! Who knows what lies ahead for today. A super hero will keep you on your toes!

At 15 weeks, this guy just takes it all in, waiting patiently for his moment to shine as a superhero. (he is quietly bragging that he NEVER has a bad hair day

Spring Break


It's that time of year for an annual spring break for some. The Aunt Fairy and her family are off skiing. So fun.
For me, this time of year means perking up the flower pots and I need your help. Every year I try really hard to make them look great and every year they end up looking everything, but that. Last year, Dodo brought me a magazine telling me exactly what to put in them. So I headed to Lowe's to get my flowers, but they didn't have the species that I was looking for so I tried to "make do". OH MY! Who knew there were so many versions of salvia. Now, I'm no master gardener like my Aunt Bettie so please help me spruce up my pots by telling me what you put in yours to make them look spectatular. How do you arrange them?
I can't wait to try your suggestions.

Sweet Feet and Toddler toes-14 weeks


Tell me, what is half so sweet
As a baby’s tiny feet,
Pink and dainty as can be,
Like a coral from the sea?
Talk of jewels strung in rows,
Gaze upon those little toes,
Fairer than a diadem,
With the mother kissing them!


Little feet, so rich with charm,
May you never come to harm.
As I bend and proudly blow
Laughter out of every toe,
This pray, that God above
Shall protect you with His love,
And shall guide those little feet
Safely down life’s broader street.
Edgar Guest

My praise:

A beautiful day



Usually one of the first things Riley will ask in the morning is "Is it a boo-t-ful day?" Well, Monday it was indeed! We took advantage of the weather by going on a walk and staying outside.
Look at the multitalented toddler riding his scooter. Please take note that his shoes are on backwards as were his socks. He is into dressing himself and expressing his independence.

This was Caden's first stroller ride. He enjoyed it.
