"Remember Last Day?"


This girl is the sunshine in my heart. Well, all of my kids are...but lately? Her sun is shimmering.


I think 4 is one of my favorite ages. Somewhat independent, still a little needy, able to understand humor, and talkative.

Oh my. The talking.

Late night conversations about nothing. When she asks for a drink from my water bottle and I say it the way she used to say it when she was a baby, "bottow bottow" and she looks at me, mouths "bottow bottow" and says, "That sounds like water bottle."...I melt.


And then, when she is trying to talk about something that happened in the past and she says things like, "Remember, last day? When we went for a walk to the park?" and "last day" could be anywhere from yesterday to a year ago to before she was born.

Oh, and then there is the extra "ed" on past tense "verbbing"..."he yelleded in my ear!" or "I bited my tongue!" or "I jumpeded off the couch!"...she makes my heart sing.


I have decided that a conversation with a 4 year old is the most enjoyable thing on the planet. Or at least, last day it was.

  1. I love when Jordan says "can we go to the park, after later?" or "can i have a cookie after later?"

    This is a beautiful age, M. Fo sho.

  2. I love it! One of my favorites was when my youngest used to use his imagination to pretend he was a guy from a video game. As early as age 2 he'd follow me through the store doing karate chopping, kicking and lots of "pow-powing!" He referred to it as "imaginating". Yes, it was a bit violent, but oh so cute!

  4. I LOVE talking to my 4 year old son. He says 'remember last day' too - so adorable. And then listening to him and his 2 year old brother have 'conversations' when they don't realize I'm listening - OH MY HEART. I melt into a puddle.

  5. She is adorable! My niece is now 14, and she loves it when my sister and I tell her stories about when she was little. Your little ones are so lucky that you're recording all of this.

  7. In our house, it was "Lastergo" - some convolution of last week, yesterday and a while ago.
    I miss those words. Those sweet conversations. Precious!

Come here looking for the tutorial? It can be found here:  Halo Braid Tutorial!  Let me know how it goes! I had something in mind to try on Baby Girl's hair the other day...my best bud, Dr. J, did something similar to it on Belle once, and I was trying to replicate it. Instead, I got this: Isn't it pretty?! It didn't take nearly as long as it looks and isn't nearly as intricate as it looks! Vlog tutorial coming soon...(for those of you waiting, I'm sorry it's taking me so long!)

Halo Braid Tutorial!

How appropriate, "halo braid", no?! ;) Finally, I have this ready for you...I apologize for the delay! This braid looks intricate, but is really quite easy and quick to pull off...the original video (prior to the warp speed braiding...watch the video to see what I mean) was just a bit over 8 minutes long...not too shabby! So, here you go...right in time for you to try it out on your little girl for Easter!

Oh, hold it...wait just a sec (again)...actually, I got this recipe from Melissa...yes, the Melissa of this story ! And this story ...which, well...is the same story, just told two different ways! ;) So, you can thank her...I guess. Well, in any event...prepare your tastebuds to be tantalized! You'll need this: And, this: You'll also need chicken breasts or steak, but since photographing your "main ingredient" is, like, soooo passe, I've left it out.

And...try your best to not slice up the little fingers that are sneaking away pepper strips... (Lemme just inte
