We're in the home stretch, people! The nursery is done, I've written out an "Arden Plan" for Gigi and Papa, and our hospital bags are packed...including a little something for the big sister. Because she needs love too :) Flora the Fawn Tote - How precious is this bag? I think Arden can use it as a dance bag after she carries all her goodies home from the hospital! Splash the Cat Mini Doll - Arden's never really gotten attached to a stuffed animal--but I'm secretly hoping ...
F-I-V-E
Linking up with some of my favorites today--Darci, Natasha, April & Christina! ONE. It's hard to believe, but it's been eight years since this precious little nugget made me an aunt. It was one of the best days of my life, and I remember it like it was yesterday... Maren is the sweetest, smartest and wittiest 8-year-old you'll ever meet. Just ask her fan club president :) We celebrated the birthday girl with burgers, karaoke & nail-painting. ...
Just You & Me + Maternity Pics
During one of Chris' work trips last month I told Arden, "it's just you and me, babe". It's since become one of her favorite phrases when we're alone. She'll randomly stop whatever she's doing and say: "it's just meeee and youuuu, momma!" For the last 25.5 months, we've been a pair. She's my sidekick, my constant companion, my joy...and I'd be lying if I said my heart didn't sink a little to think about that changing. I love this girl so much and so ...
Bundle Up – JJ Cole BundleMe Review
During our 4 years in Texas, I came to love almost everything about the place. Everything except for fire ants...and sweating through the fall. Needless to say, one of the things I've been looking forward to most now that we're back in Kansas is bundling up for chilly weather! Check back with in with me in January and I'm sure I'll be dreaming of being on a patio somewhere in Houston...but for now, I'm so excited about boots, scarves, and everything cozy. I was recently asked ...
A Very Autumn Weekend
Can I just say that I l-o-v-e-d this weekend? Loved it as in, when I close my eyes and dream about fall {come on, you know you do it too}...this weekend was it. The pumpkin patch, family, a fall festival...and more pumpkins. Yes please. Saturday morning started off the way that every Saturday morning should: cartoons in bed. It may have taken me 5 years to do it, but I finally convinced Chris that we needed a TV in our bedroom. I think he was always afraid that ...
Five on Friday: The “Arden Says” Edition
Not my typical Five on Friday randomness, but there have been so many hilarious things coming out of Arden's mouth lately...and I thought this would be the perfect way to record them :) Linking up with Darci & friends today! ONE. Out of nowhere, she grabs her tummy and says: "ugghh, my baby hurts!" Apparently bellies and babies are one in the same around here :) TWO. We were listening to Before These Walls Were Blue in the car the other day, ...
