They grow up so Fast

Lucie and Taylor just wee little play mates...


So cute this year at the Pumpkin Patch...



Precious...


Maybe if I stop feeding her she'll stop growing so fast:)



I try to remind myself enjoy it now...
Because it goes so fast...
I'm glad I get to be here to enjoy her journey with her...

Remember This?

Well I moved the girls bed together and they have so much more room...







They love dancing around in it now and they have enough room
For fort building which has become the " it" thing in our house.

They came out good I think

Remember the Jess Brown dolls that were out of my budget...
Well I made them for the girls...
My mom made the jewelry...
And my mother-in-law knitted the shawls..
Team work:)

Why does it feel so good to have a clean house?

Nothing makes me happier that showering in a spotless bathroom
With clean fluffy bath mats ...
Then getting into a freshly made bed...
True heaven on earth...

But it makes me think...

And count my blessings ...
Dear God
I'm thankful we have a home to clean...
And a warm bed to sleep in...
And warm water to bath with...
Simple I know .... But true

Laura Mercier

I've been using her makeup for years...

I LOVE makeup products....
The smells ....
the pretty colors....
the packaging...
Swoon!!!

but alas I only own the basics that I love...

I am not one of those girls with a drawer full of cosmetics....

Laura is it for me....

And this new lotion is super yummy too.


Also a great idea for a sister or a bestie...

No room for a Christmas Tree?

No Problem!

I love this

I might move the girls beds like this for the holidays ....
I feel a winter cleaning coming on anyway....

Christmas Ideas

You can find these over at Jess Brown

I love these but ....
If I ordered two of these beauties it would set me back $360.00
Mmmhumm that is a lot....

They are indeed hand made and fabulous but out of my Christmas budget.

But the girls love them...

So I just might get crafty and see what happens...
