There’s a Mommy Moments Photo Contest at Simply Modern Mom right now that hit me just right – I actually don’t care if I win, finding my photo was enough. It reminded me that my favorite Momma Moments are the ones where I completely let go and live in the moment with Birdie. Aw, ain’t [...]

When I actually take the time to read through some of the other amazing blogs I’ve gathered in my blog reader (loving my new NetNewsWire iPhone app, by the way) I find the most incredible things!

“For just one day, I’d like to be a busy buzzing, bumble … bee.” Like any semi-smarty-pants parent, I’m so proud of the fact that Birdie loves books. Loves them.

Oh my heavens. I had a great morning yesterday when we stopped by a local baby boutique’s outlet location. It was going out of business and I scored me – I mean Wren – some amazing steals. I also grabbed a couple items that were extremely silly purchases but, when they’re only two dollars I [...]

It’s like she peeked in my window and interpreted my everyday life (well, the part when Birdie is napping in the other room). Luckily Irma Gruenholz also peeks into the woods, the imaginative minds of little girls, and many other areas to make some amazing imagery.

A very silly springtime book. Is it a duck or a rabbit? Which one do you see first? And what might that say about you?! Luckily this silly book, Duck!

The only good thing about having a very dear old friend (hi Rachel!) living and working in Doha, Qatar on a large multi-year project is that she gives good gifts. No, not good gifts, unforgettable gifts. Birdie has already been the unknowingly happy recipient of some amazing clothing, a peacock feather fan, and some beautiful [...]
