Now it all makes sense. Finally!
If you’ve been here since the beginning,
you may remember the day when we got this tutu. And on that day, a day that is now so long ago, I never could have imagined that just over a year later, that tutu would cause my daughter to lay on the ground, kicking her legs, in a screaming, wailing, red-faced, breath-holding tantrum. Why? Because although she ...
Mommyhood, in a nutshell.
My daughter hasn't had a proper nap in 2 days. This afternoon, after two hours of trying to get her down, I gritted my teeth and hissed that she was driving me crazy. She popped the pacifier out of her mouth, smiled broadly and said "Hewo, mommy!" *** She went to bed early tonight. She rested her head on my ...
“Honey, I’m home.”
And suddenly, my Tuesday night got a whole heck of lot better.

And she humored me for a hot second, before looking up at ...
Yesterday, we did a lot of important things,
but the MOST important of things was this: a very special new accessory for Bitty Baby. Phew! My two tiniest girls are twins, again. (Full disclosure, when I bought these Bitty Baby glasses, I got choked up. I wasn't sad. I wasn't happy. I was just choked up. Just because it is a thing. Hey, what ...

You know you have a girlie girl when…
You know you have a girlie girl when... She goes to Rosh Hashana dinner with lipstick on her teeth; She says "gown" instead of down"; You lose sight of her in the mall and find her here: You can always spot her in her hiding spots because of her pink, sparkly shoes. (See above.); She loves to brush her dolly's ...
