Mothering

Who needs breakfast in bed? I have a blue-green eyed alarm clock that blows kisses when she wakes me each morning. Just now she interrupted her exploration of her toys, the tag in the back of her discarded pajamas and the headboard to squirm over and give me a hug. This is one sweet baby and [...]

I had to share this picture of Eva in gifts sent by two of my friends. The Baby Gap shirt is a little hard to read in the picture but it says “Best Gift Ever!” The rainbow hightop booties are handmade by my friend Sarah of Curious Workmanship. Sarah also makes cowboy boot booties that [...]
