Easter with Purple Moments
Today Hallie had another fun session with Purple Moments Photography! Sadly Hallie was more interested in destroying the set than smiling, but Larissa was still able to get some good ones!

Happy St. Patty’s Day
Happy St. Patty’s Day from Hallie Anne!
We made sure to wear green today and yesterday for our playgroup party. Actually I washed Hallie’s outfit last night so she could wear it again today! When I started to get her dressed this morning, girlfriend starting crying saying “No shirt! Wore already!” In case there was any doubt in my mind that she is a girly girl, that was all cleared up this morning! How dare she be caught wearing the same outfit 2 days in a row! Luckily I was able to convince her to wear it again if she got to wear her new Freshly Picked Moccs with them! ALL GIRL!
Also here is a side by side comparison St. Patrick’s day last year, and now this year! She is getting HUGE!
What are you doing to celebrate?!

M&M Blondies
These were some of the very best Blondies I have ever tasted, and I knew when I was done eating them that I would HAVE to share the recipe with my readers!
INGREDIENTS:
1/2 C Unsalted Butter
2 Cups of Light Brown Sugar
2 eggs
1 ts Salt
1 ts vanilla
2 ts baking powder
2 Cups of flour sifted
1 Package of M&M 11.4 oz bag
Steps:
1. Cream the butter and brown sugar together
2. Add eggs, Salt and Vanilla and mix until well blended
3. Slowly Add the baking powder and sifted flour until batter is smooth
4. Stir in 1/2 of the bag of M&M candies by hand so that you don’t break them
5. Pour batter into a greased 9×13 baking dish then add the rest of the bag placing them on top of the batter. (I didn’t use the entire rest of the bag…I had a small handful left over which I shared with Hallie) Also the batter will rise in the oven so don’t worry if it doesn’t look too full,
6. Bake at 350 for 24 minutes. It will look undone when you pull it out of the oven, but will set as it cools.

That Moment When
Hi friends! Have you entered our fun giveaway yet?! No?! Go do it now!
Today I am sharing with you the first edition of “That Moment When”. You know the moments I am talking about!
That Moment When….
– You can’t get to sleep because you have been humming the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse theme for about an hour
– The Hotdog Song means you need to hurry and finish whatever it is you are doing before your toddler comes running down the hall to find you
-You are so tired that you try to put the lid to the juice on your kid’s sippy cup instead of the juice…then you try to stick the sippy cup in the fridge instead of the juice
-A vase breaks in the same room as your barefoot toddler, so you scoop her up at lightning speed
– You kiss a “pretend” boo boo on your daughter’s belly
– When you find a paci that has been missing for about 6 months
-All of these moments happen in a 24 hour period, so you finish off the day with a glass of wine
…ah Motherhood, a’int it grand? Luckily this face makes it all worth it!

Precious Moments
I have to say Hallie being sick has taken a lot out of us all! She is up coughing at all hours of the night. She isn’t comfortable in her crib and has been sleeping with me propped up on a million pillows. For days all she wanted to do was lay on me on the couch and either sleep or watch TV, so there goes the house work. She hasn’t had energy or even an appetite. (which if you know my girl is odd) Needless to say, we are all exhausted around here and ready to be feeling better. She is finally on the mend so things are looking up! However, even with all the coughing and exhaustion, I have been soaking up a lot of sweet Hallie cuddles. When Hallie is sick or tired is about the only time I get cuddles, so we have shared a lot of precious moments I would never have traded for the world. Which I guess goes to show you, there’s a silver lining on every dark cloud.
