Elsa Louise at 37 Weeks


Elsa's first winter can hardly be called Winter considering how mild it's been. Many years we still have lots of snow in the middle of March but this year it's been in the 70's already!Now that it's warmer we have stopped using the infant car seat. Elsa's first day in her Evenflo Triumph was Monday the 12th. She loves her baby Lazy Boy as I like to refer to the Triumph. On Wednesday the 14th I was able to put a bow in her hair that actually stayed put. I promptly took 20 pictures (none of which are uploaded to my computer yet).  I love how this photo captures her constant chatter and that she's always always grabbing her feet.

After a short break from taking basket photos outdoors we were able to return to our porch for our Friday Photo Shoot. I found this green hat on clearance and decided to make it work in honor of St. Patrick's Day. 


That was until I came across this hat via Etsy. 
 
Caren Watson of Always Autumn was kind enough to give Elsa a hat for St. Patrick's Day. It is so soft and beautifully made. The detail of shimmer in the hat is perfect for St. Patrick's Day and the ruffle of the brim is what made me fall in love with this particular hat over all the other options on Etsy.  
Watch Caren's shop for more photos of Elsa in her new hat in the weeks to come!

*Cloth Diaper Details: In the first photos Elsa is wearing the Bum Genius AIO that I've used in other basket photos. The bottom photo is a Kissaluvs Fitted (size 2). Julia wore these diapers as did Sam for a little while. This diaper needs a cover but it works for quick photo shoots. It's my go to diaper for overnights. The elastic wore out a while ago but that doesn't really matter because the cover keeps everything contained. If I had air dried them the first time around I'm sure the elastic would have held up better.

"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!

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...

My Birthday Wish

Today is my 33rd birthday. So far I've celebrated by cleaning the kitchen, vacuuming, and washing clothes. My birthday happened to fall on a Monday - the day we set a few hours aside for me to do some of the cleaning that I just don't have time for during the work week. I love it. I get that immediate sense of accomplishment. I see results. I finished a task. Oh how that makes my heart happy!!!!! In my line of work it can be months before I can check a project off my list. All the while it nags at me and weighing me down like a ton of bricks that projects are waiting for me. Don't get me wrong, I love love love my job, but I also love that instant gratification that comes with checking something off my list. So when Mondays roll around I am happy to pick up my dust cloth or a basket of laundry....even on my birthday. I don't have any great birthday reflections for today....maybe another day. Instead I want to share my birthday wish with you dear readers. What I wan...
