Seems in the rush around and shuffle of creativity and Spring projects, I forgot to post a Fiona’s First Birthday party post. Which is to say, you still haven’t seen the pictures of her cupcake face yet. I did show you the party decorations. My paper feathers are still hanging around. See the whole post…
Fiona turned one today. She is truly One-derful. She’s been busy making sure she could walk and talk like a legitimate toddler. As she moves across the room, she puts her hands in the air and her hips slowly pivot like she’s wading through a lagoon. And she’s such a talky girl. She’s already got…
Having a baby inspires empowering choices we might never have made prior. Suddenly self-respect and self-love are ours to model, our parting gift to them. So I ask, how do we tell the truth about who we used to be and maintain our self-respecting Mommy-ness? Separate who we were from who we are and be…
She’s gone from pro-crawler to standing with sureness within a month. She grabs and shoves me off in the same minute. The next “step”? She’ll be screaming “I’ve got a date Mom see you later”, as she’s running out the door. She’ll be walking right after Christmas people. Know it. Fiona has her own purpose…
With the event this weekend successfully completed, I was able to refocus on the homestead. The porch benefited from the leftover cornstalks and pumpkins. Stunt leaves and all. But wait, there’s a baby who woke up and since it was such a beautiful day, what the hay. She crawls now you know. She loves to…
This past Saturday, I was hands free and finally painted the Wee Fi’s room. Not all the woodwork yet, but the ceiling and the walls with the Toasted Oat as I said I would. I finished priming the bay windows’ woodwork. But alas, no more time to paint the woodwork. The curtain solution is still…
Originally published in May, I thought this post pretty enough and relevant to how my pictorial story is unfolding to republish. Enjoy We celebrated Fiona’s arrival last weekend with a few close friends.An opportunity to share her and entertain. I’d forgotten how much we enjoy throwing a party. And I wanted to prove that I…
I have a little song that I made up for Fiona. And every time I sing it, she stops and smiles because she recognizes it. Sometimes I use it to calm her down when she’s headed for a fussy jag and I need another minute or two to finish what I am, soon to be…
I needed to go visit my dear friend Pama last week and let her hold my Fiona. I was never more impressed than when she held Eamon as a baby and lolled him and rocked him like the pro that she is. She is an Easton shop owner. And the newest Moonvine that I walked…
So many people ask, “Is she a good baby?” I look at them questioningly. They clarify, ”Does she sleep through the night or cry all the time, that sort of thing.” And this is what I say. She is easy-going. Sometimes she has issues but she is always good. I don’t believe there can be…
