Beautiful Calling

Dear Sweet Chloe, How proud mama is of you and the person you are becoming. You are happy, helpful and full of giggles. Six is a big number you tell me. But then again, you told me three was a big number, and four, and five…oh, how you make me laugh. And how my heart [...]

{mama/daughter manicures and pedicures for our birthdays – thanks to GiGi} 31 Things About Me was from my 31st birthday. I’m not sure where my 32nd birthday went but I added two more things about me to get me to 33 Things About Me on my 33rd birthday. Today I am struggling to come up [...]

Chloe and John love craft time. I was delighted to discover  Crock A Doodle – pottery painting fun for all ages. Isaac’s KinderMusik class met there for one class last month and we made a handprint tile. It’s so cute! We went back the following week and the tots had a great time as they [...]

It seems like just the other day that Chloe excitedly donned her slippers and headed off to her first day of ballet. Well, on Wednesday my little girl just finished her first year, doing a fine job on the finale performance. I’m thankful for the fantastic local homeschool group we belong to. Through the homeschool [...]

This year Baby Gap has been a favorite shopping spot, especially since they offer free shipping over $50 and free, easy returns. We picked up this beauty with a coupon coupled with a sale. Dress {Baby Gap} and pout {all Chloe}. With three tots in tow, I find myself shopping online more and more. How [...]

Saturday was the annual Storybook Breakfast fundraiser and the tots had a wonderful time. This year the books we received at the breakfast were Olivia Saves the Circus, [...]

“I think I got the heck of it!” ~ John, on buttoning his pants. “Because all those people are bad and going to Helloween.” ~ John, on trick-or-treating. {we had a little discussion about this one! LOL} “My little Coochie” ~ Chloe, who always says this to Isaac. “Oma doesn’t need the outside of her [...]

Chloe just turned 5 this month. She’s always had her own style and it almost always makes me smile {and at times outright laugh}! Sweater dress with attached black tutu {Baby Gap}, matching sweater leggings {Baby Gap}, white socks {TCP}, silver ballet flats {Pediped}, crazy hair curlies {Gymboree}, funny smile {all Chloe!}. This post links [...]

  You love wearing Oma’s vintage jewels Happy birthday, Chloe! Today you turn 5. You have been so excited, looking forward to this day. “Five is a big number”, you tell me proudly. Five years have passed slowly and quickly. I look at you, no longer a baby or toddler but a big girl; it [...]

I can still recall that crisp fall day that my little 18 month Chloe, who couldn’t talk yet, picked out her first pair of shoes: brown polka dot Giseles by Pediped. Since then we’ve purchased many, many pair of Pediped. Why? I’m glad you asked! It’s not because of the price to be sure. But [...]
