My friend Kami, our compassionate service leader, made these cute hats for Eliza.Are these not so cute? I love the earflap one with the braids. Reminds me of a little Swiss girl for some reason. Darlingness. In other news this week… Eliza has her first cold. She caught it from Truman. Luckily she didn’t catch […]
This idea has been stuck in my thoughts … almost daily … because it is really true for me. Last week I had a really hard mothering day. I wanted to do just about anything other than the tasks at hand… dealing with little ones and household chores. I wanted to sleep and just do […]
My sister Amy introduced this lipstuff to me. I decided it would be a need during this dry wintertime season. Well… I couldn’t find it anywhere, so I decided to do subscribe and save on Amazon. Now I have 12 … plus, they were cheap. My favorite use for the ointment is for all those […]
