CUTE HELP.

While I work today, I have a special little helper keeping me company. LOVE her!

PAINTING PUMPKINS.

Well, Vanessa painted pumpkins with Noah this week...& I just finished up a painted pumpkin project for Fall decor for my coffee shop, the Red Caboose!

I plan on taking photos of the adorable set up above the fireplace tomorrow, but for now....here's a behind the scenes from my iPhone!

LOOSING MY HAIR ... LITERALLY.

I am soooo excited to see Stella's hair growing ... it literally changes a little each day. After her bath last night, we noticed it starting to curl up ... eeeek, SO adorable!

Well you know what? Funny thing is ... MY hair doesn't seem to want to stick around. Clumps fall out every single day. And I'm not talking about a few hairs here & there, no, it's more like a sink so full can't believe your eyes kinda falling out. Lets put it this way, I'm surprised I still have hair on my head!!!! I have to apologize to my children for having hair on all their stuff ... so annoying & gross.

Surely they make pills to put an end to this. Desperate times ... !

BABY GAP

What would I buy with a $25 gift card to Baby Gap?

......Cute striped pants & fun jammie's, of course!

We don't have a Baby Gap here, which is probably a good thing. I just love that shop!!

What are your favorite Go To baby shops?

Overalls

I can't believe my baby boy fits into a pair of overalls!!

I'm not the type to dress my baby up like a bigger kid....I've always loved seeing babies dressed as babies. You know, onesies and little outfits with feet! So cute.

Well, I bought these overalls while Vanessa was here in Montana last winter....& when I spotted them in Ezras closet- I couldn't believe we were already wearing 3 month clothes! Yes, he's 3 months, but still.....I'm already having a hard time boxing up the newborn clothes!

Well, here's my baby....looking like a big boy...in overalls.

Who color blocks their pumpkins?

My son.

Not stripes, no dots, not even his name ... just blobs of solid color. I secretly think he just wanted to use as much of mom's paint as he possibly could. Oh well, he loved the finish look ... so I love them too. ;)

We're heading to the Dallas Arboretum this week, so more pumpkin photos on the blog are a sure thing!

Happy fall y'all! xo

Happy feet + toes ... !

My sweet baby girl is full of pure JOY every single morning ... it flows from her head to those tiny precious happy toes. xo

HELLO!!!!!!!!!!!

So, as Kelli mentioned in her latest post, we've been a little MIA due to these sweet little babies ... but it's been so great to embrace these tiny babes & spend as much time with them as possible. Stella & I are at a place where we've developed somewhat of a routine, so it's been nice to get back to work ... & blogging!

Last week, Stella & I had the pleasure of traveling to Nashville to be apart of a project my husband & several other friends are working on. I can't wait till it's out & available ... I'll be sure to share all about it soon enough. Nashville is a 2nd home to us because we still have such wonderful friends there that we miss so much. It was great to visit a few & I can't wait to go back & catch up with more of them! Stella was a traveling pro by the time the weekend was over. She is such a happy, sweet baby always ... SO incredibly blessed because Mr. Noah wasn't as easy. Or ... maybe it's that I didn't know what I was doing w/ Noah?! Yeah, probably so. Noah was actually amazing considering the fact, haha. He still loves me, though. ;)

Well, as Kelli mentioned, we are busy working out details on a new project ... it's a GREAT one & we look forward to sharing it soon. In the meantime, happy new school year ... & praying your week is a blessed one. Now ... here's some of my favorite faces from the week! x

p.s. HUGE thank you to thorn + sparrow for my NEW lovely Butterfly Sparks Creative logo. That was definitely a highlight for me this month! She's a true talent & I'm extremely thankful for her beautiful work on my logo + our beautiful Kelli + Vanessa logo! Yeah, she's the best. x

So much to love.

First of all...sorry for the lack of posts lately. Taking care of a newborn and adjusting to motherhood- no big deal, right?!?! However, the late nights have stirred new ideas and Vanessa and I have a GREAT ONE! More to come on our new project soon....

My little Ezra is 7 weeks old already....can't believe how fast this time has flown by....and I can't believe how much he has grown! All you moms are right....this newborn stage is so sweet, yet so very short. I'm really trying to soak this season in......limiting my time on the computer and more time holding my baby....looking into his eyes and telling him how much I love him. I don't think we can hear the words I LOVE YOU enough.

My heart explodes multiple times a week. I have learned so much about myself...and about life...as I have mothered this sweet boy over the last few weeks. It's amazing how the late nights are all made better by a sweet smile greeting me in the morning.

Speaking of ..... the mornings are my absolute favorite. Not only is it a NEW DAY....A FRESH START, but another opportunity to do things better than the day before. And boy do I need do-overs!! Sometimes I feel like I know what I am doing....I've got this....and then there are days where I wonder where to begin. We are getting to know each other each day and I love that Ezra starts his day off with a smile...and sometimes a laugh! I love it!

I am so thankful for Ezra's unconditional love. Regardless of how I mess up or misinterpret his cry...he loves me. He wants his momma. He feels safe. He greets me with a smile......oh the lessons he is teaching me.

Ezra, I love you so much sweet boy. You have my heart.....completely.
