What Willow Wore

Simple and sweet.  Yes, babies all decked out in tutus are really cute, but my little one is now on the move.  She's now six months old and crawling!!!  My son skipped the crawling phase because we had all tile floors and he rarely got the chance too.  I was one of those super paranoid FTMs and just knew he would bust his head open if I let him try to crawl on the tile, so he just went straight to walking.  Now that I have Willow (and carpet), this is a new adventure for me.  That being said, who wants to be all fancy when they are in constant motion?  Not Willow.  We are all about comfort these days, so this kind of outfit is usually the norm around here.  Cute and comfortable.  The slouchy grey long sleeve too is Burts Bees Organic $15 and the grey polka dot pants with mint bows are from Little Me $10.  Oh yeah, and the pants came with the cute little hair thingy to match.

My Amazing Home Water Birth

This post will not be too long.  If you are interested in reading my awesome, beautiful, and sometimes gross birth story, please check it out above under the birth story tab.  Anyway, no, I did not just have another baby this week, but I did just finish posting my story so I wanted to share a post about it.  It has been five months ago but it seems like yesterday when I was holding my new baby girl in my arms.  Better yet…we were in the comfort of my home.  My son got to experience the gift of life and was able to cuddle with his new sister all night long in our own bed.  For the record, I am not some super crunchy granola chick, but I am a firm believer in trusting your body and living as naturally as possible.  Im not saying everyone should run out and have a home birth, but every woman should have the choice  to have the experience she wants.  This was my choice and I thank God everyday that it was a good one.  I would not take back one second of it.

I love this baby turban!!!  I ordered it from Shelby Jane & Co.'s Etsy  shop and couldn't be happier with it.  Willow gets so many compliments very time she has it on and it really makes her blue eyes pop.  I would have ordered more but I wanted to make sure the fit was right, but I will be ordering more soon in every color.  I shopped around and her prices were really good.  I think this was like $8…not too shabby.  Here's the link to her shop https://www.etsy.com/shop/ShelbyJaneandCo?ref=l2-shopheader-name

This Sums Up How Cool We Are

This is what my husband does to my baby when he is babysitting - takes awesome photos of her.  I ordered the onesie on Etsy, and got a lot of use out of it.  I may even order another one, and a shirt for my son.  "Wu Tang is For the Children".

Too early for crafting?

Is it too early to start making craft decor for my daughter's birthday at the end of summer?  Nah.  I keep envisioning this awesome pink and orange blowout and our backyard actually being landscaped, so we shall see.  In the meantime, Ive been picking up scrapbook paper and what not from Micahels or Hobby Lobby when they are 1/2 off so I can begin her bday banner.  Pretty huh?  Im NOT crafty.  Let me repeat, Not crafty…artsy, yes.  And there is a difference.  Maybe this little projects will help me.

My son is nine and will not let me near his closet, and hates shopping…boo, so God has blessed me with a baby girl, who cannot fight me yet.  When I dress her cute, I shall blog about it.  I do try not to spend too much money on her clothes, and only buy something really cool if I know I will not be able to find it later.  These butterfly pants I just bought (I think before she was even born) at Babies R US (Koala Baby).  The shirt is Petit Ami, and couldn't be softer or lighter!

Next on the list…this cute romper from H & M ($17.95)…Im still deciding on what size to order.

My First Blog Post

So this is my first official post…yea!  Im thinking, "Oh my God, what am I going to post first?  It has to be really awesome, then I decided it should just be REAL.  This is my life, and in my life, I rarely get good pictures of two bodies at the same time.  I was really trying to pull off this cute pic of me and my Willow like the one from Pintrest (below).  We both happened to have on blue today, and we both have eyes to match, so it was going to be beautiful. Instead, I got this…and I love it.  Maybe Ill try again when she is like four.  Welcome to my blog.  I am still messing with stuff but please stay tuned.  My life is RAD…even when its not.
