Happy 3rd birthday to our sweet Miss A.


I worked on this post last night instead of making your pink cupcakes because it dawned on me that I was starting to forget some of these things. And that is something I don’t ever want to do.

    That is just awesome. Capturing those moments with that type of timeline is so meaningful and can come in handy probably during the teen years as a grounding reminder. My kids love looking at old videos of when they were babies and seems to bring us closer together.

    I think of that often, how I’m forgetting things, and if I had time I’d write down every second because I love my kids that much! They say it goes by fast and they sure arent’ kidding!

    KILLED me. I’d better not get pregnant because of this – seriously, my ovaries are working overtime just lokoing at the newborn picture.

    Were You Ever So Small…

    Beautiful post about treasuring the newborn days of parenting….

  2. [...] Moving on to March, strep struck our home and I bastardized Vanilla Ice lyrics. I wrote about mommy martyrs and learning to say no. I posted the most awesome pictures of Miss A jamming and marveled at how much Spring Break has changed now that I’m married with children.
