Happy Birthday Beautiful Girl.


Dear Belle:

People are always telling me how beautiful you are, but what they don't know...is that you are the most beautiful on the inside.


You have a heart of gold...and your inner beauty radiates throughout you.


You are kind, caring, and sensitive, yet silly, funny, and a complete joy to be around.


9 years ago...at this very minute...you entered this world. While we had never yet met you, we already loved you more than you can ever imagine. You brought a joy to our world in a very sad time for our nation.


As I look back on the last 9 years, I wonder where the time went...and I realize how quickly the next 9 years are going to go. In 9 years, you will be an adult...and that thought, is just a little too much for me to bear right now.


I want to keep you young...keep you close. I want you to be my little girl forever...but grow up you must, and so I promise to do my very best to raise you up right!


We are so incredibly blessed to have you...I hope and pray that we do you proud. 'Cuz you deserve nothing but the very best.


I pray that you always stay true to yourself...that you never lose your warm heart, your tender ways, and your caring attitude.


We love you Belle, you are so special, amazing, and wonderful!!

Don't ever forget that...

Love,
Your Mama

Coming soon...

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!

You should probably finish reading this post first...you know...so you know how to make it... But then...STOP! STOP everything, make this, and thank me later! 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. ( Ahem... ) Just keepin ' up with the times, friend. So...slice up those peppers and onions into cute little strips... And...try your best to not slice up the little fingers that are sneaking away pepper strips... (Lemme just inte...
