Sometimes...



Sometimes, when I pick up my baby from her nap and she wraps her tiny little arms around my neck and burrows her head into my body...I am taken aback.


Swept away by love.

Amazed that this little creature trusts and loves me with everything she's got.

That she trusts and loves me more than anyone else on the entire planet (except for, maybe, her dad).

She depends on me. She needs me.

And in those moments, I realize just how blessed I am. Just how lucky I am to be a mother. Just how incredibly fortunate I am to have been trusted with these five lives.

It completely takes my breath away.

    Nothing tops being a mom...except maybe being a grandma is a close second! (:>)

    You are blessed indeed!

    This made me tear up...This is why I am so eager to begin IVF...because I know all of the money, pain, and emotions will be worth it when I hold my sweet baby in my arms..

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!

Oh, hold it...wait just a sec (again)...actually, I got this recipe from Melissa...yes, the Melissa of this story !

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...
