Hallie’s Favorite Easter Reads

March 23, 2016

Every night Hallie and I curl up with a couple books before prayer and bed, and each holiday is another excuse for us to hit up the bookstore or library for some fun themed reading! Today I thought I would share with you all of the fun books we have been reading in preparation for Easter on Sunday:
1.Five Bouncing Bunnies/2.Ollie’s Easter Eggs/3. Where are Babies Easter Eggs?/
 4.The Tale of Peter Rabbit/ 5. Dance Bunny Dance/ 6. The Runaway Bunny
We have also been really into our Bible Stories for girls
It’s really the most peaceful time of day, when we curl up to read!
What books have you and your kiddos been reading?

Easter with Purple Moments

March 22, 2016

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! 

Dress- This and That For Kids
Moccasins- Freshly Picked

 Happy Easter!

A Girl and her Dog

March 21, 2016

With Stella’s 6th birthday quickly approaching next week it got me thinking of how wonderful she has been since we added Hallie into our family! From the beginning she has been so protective and gentle with her.  And of course Hallie just adores her! Stella is really like her first best friend! Christopher took Hallie and Stella to the dog park last week, and when they got home he asked her, “Which dog was your favorite?” Without skipping a beat, she squealed “Stella!” Of course Daddy! That love runs deep!

Nobody brings a smile to Hal’s face quicker than Stella.  And nobody could come between this girl and her dog! 
We sure love our Puppy Girl!

Happy St. Patty’s Day

March 17, 2016

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

March 10, 2016

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.

Once they are completely cool, cut them into bars of your desired size and share…or not!

<3 Kelly

That Moment When

March 9, 2016

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

March 1, 2016

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.
