Alphabitty Moments - W is for....

Words.

You know those words your kids mispronounce but you think it's so cute you don't correct them? Those words. And maybe, just maybe you perpetuate it by adopting their way of saying it? We have a few of those special words in our family.



Julia's says Heartbeep  instead of heartbeat. "I can feel your heart beeping Mama!" Too.Cute.













Sam said eCOOmeez instead of excuse me when he burped. He also called vitamins vinnies

What Alphabitty Moment do YOU want to remember this week? Remember in a few weeks we'll be starting over at the beginning of the alphabet so if you've been waiting for a fresh start - that time is almost here!

I'm not sure if I'll start posting Elsa's Alphabitty Moments this next go round or not, but I AM going to be making her a book! In fact, it's going to be her baby book. I'm focusing on moments from her first year and will include all of her weekly photos in it as well.

One thing I highly recommend is making a list so all your ideas are in one place. I keep my lists on my refrigerator and add to it whenever I think of a new word for one of the kids.  It makes a huge difference when Thursday rolls around - especially this week when I'm swamped with birthday party preparations.  We're throwing TWO parties this weekend which means TWO castle birthday cakes need to be baked/decorated, all the games prepped, the house clean, food bought/cooked, and while I'm not making birthday shirts this year, I did make four felt tunics for the knights to wear at Sam's party. They turned out really cute! I see a "how to throw a castle themed birthday party" post in my future!

  1. I LOVE that picture of Julia.

    We say "ooncaduntly" instead of accidentally. And "eye browns" instead of eyebrows.

"How can I help?"

So many have asked how they can help MckMama and her family during this difficult time and so I've set up a Care Calendar to help coordinate meals for the family. MckMama is coordinating childcare on her end, but you can contact me for the rest. Please leave me a comment in this message and I will contact you with more information on the Care Calendar as soon as I am able. Please be sure I can get in touch with you through your blog and/or an email address. Thank you for covering my dear friend and her family with prayers!

Elsa's Birth Story

The morning of July 1st started out like all the other mornings this summer. The kids let me sleep until 7:30 and then came in to wake me up. We ate breakfast and I started picking up around the house. We had spent the previous day at the town pool and because the heat index was going to be just as high again we made plans to go to our beach. The kids really wanted to practice their swimming skills but I didn't want to have to pay for the pool again. At 8:30 I lost my mucus plug and my brain started running a mile a minute. Could this mean we're getting close? Could I actually go early for a change?I turned to Google and learned that labor could be hours or days away. I feel I should warn you - if you decide to Google mucus plug be prepared to see photographic proof. Why people felt the need to post pictures to Google images is beyond me!  Moving on..... Just in case I ended up being one of the lucky ones who only had hours to wait until labor started I kept up with my clean

Shabby Apple Giveaway!

Spring is in the air and that means it's time to start thinking about changing over our closets from Winter to Spring. I don't know about you, but that also means it's time to look for a few new pieces to bring new life to what I wear year after year. Today I can make that job a little more fun for you because Shabby Apple is sponsoring a giveaway on my blog! Yeah!!!! I had so much fun looking through their collection of women's dresses and don't even get me started on their adorable line of little girl's dresses ! It's a whole new ballgame for me now that I'm going to have TWO girls to dress. In the end I decided to pick this beauty called Azure Coast to giveaway to one lucky reader because us mom's are always buying things for our kids before ourselves. I just might have to pick up one for myself in time to wear for BabyBear's baptism this summer. It's perfect for nursing moms! Want to win one for yourself? See below , but if you d
