Birthday Girls (part 1)

E. Belle and Ivy had their birthday yesterday, and it was a success! There were LOTS of family and friends here to take part in the “royal celebration”. My camera battery died (of course) about halfway through, so here are the highlights of the first half, as […]

Birthday Pictures!

So, about a week and a half ago, we took the kids to Gage Park in Topeka to get their pictures taken by a local gal, April at aprilthoughts photography. I mainly wanted the girls to get their birthday pictures, but as always, Henry got in there, too. Ivy, especially, […]

Rally!

Oh, my goodness. My last post was two weeks ago? So much has happened since then!First of all, I have started my jewelry family!! I’m so excited, because my new jewelry “baby” is a really good friend, and I know she’s going to be such a great jeweler! Her training […]

Eureka Springs

My mom, my grandma, two of my sisters-in-law, one of my nieces, my kids and myself went to Eureka Springs, AR this week to see the Opera In The Ozarks. It’s a really cool training program for opera stars-to-be, and allows them to learn and perform. This is the second […]

Free Jewelry!

Okay, first, I need to share a link with you. Megan takes amazing pictures, and I can’t wait for our family pictures in the fall (and if they’re free, even better!)Now on to jewelry news. A lot of you know that our VERY generous company was giving away a TON […]

My Girls

These two are about as different as different can be. Essie is loud, and Ivy reminds us of that every time we put them to bed in their room. Essie could possibly be on her high school’s football team, and Ivy loves nothing more than to twirl in her dresses. […]

Adventures in Potty Training

I had decided, several weeks ago, that our soon-to-be three-year-old would be thrust into potty training boot camp as soon as we moved and we no longer had wall-to-wall carpet. She had acted like she was going to potty train herself several months ago, and she did well for a […]

Ivyism

I sprayed some ant spray in our bathroom a few minutes ago.Ivy walks by the bathroom and runs over to me, saying “bafroom is smelly, follow me.”We both walk back to the bathroom, and she says “taste it.””Taste it?”She sniffs the air. “Do dat.”I sniff the air. “It IS smelly.”

Moving Day? No…Week.

In my last post (which seems like forever ago), I mentioned the “impending move”. Well, as you may have guessed, the reason it has been forever since I’ve written is that the move is HAPPENING. I can’t say it’s happened, because between my dad and my husband last weekend, and […]

Peace….and quiet?

It’s almost 11:00am, the middle of the week, and I just got out of bed an hour ago. How is this possible, you ask? Well, it’s possible because it’s just me and the baby for the rest of the week! She woke up, like, four hours ago, but she enetertained […]
