Making Home-made Baby Food

I won't pretend, my child does not eat homemade baby food everyday but I do my best to make as much as I can. I read lots of reviews on different kitchen gadgets and I finally took the plunge and splurged on the BabyCook and I freaking love it ! Today I got brave and played with some new fruit/veggies combo and Strider had two favorites.

I love these spoons! My best friend told me about them and they are shaped just perfect and priced even better. Check them out

I love these as well, great for when the baby is learning/wanting to self feed. Check them out.

 

My Modest Closet Party

Tuesday August 19th at 7-8:30 PM I am hosting a Lula Roe Clothing Party. This means you can shop through over 1,000 items of clothing. It is open house style so come and get your maxi dress/skirt, pencil shirt, tunic loving self on. This is seriously just a taste of what will be there. There are even little girls clothes! Everyone is invited, even if we have never met! So let's be friends, and come twirl with me in these pretty dresses. Oh, bring your mama, gra-mama, sister and your baby too!

My best friend was kind enough to let me play with her hair, makeup and then make her model. Isn't she lovely? I think I'll keep her. 

  

The Last Hurrah

So we have not been super public about this but my husband and Father-in-Law are opening up another business. To be exact, the family business is vacuum and sewing machines. The new location is in Hurricane, Utah and is opening next week (eeeeeeeh!). Which probably means I will live there one day. (I don't know how I feel about it yet) anyways, we are very excited for this new business. But new business means long hours and few vacations so today was our last minute, final Hurrah before everything changes. 

We last minute decided to take off to Vegas and swim, sleep, eat and go to a concert. For the next couple years we will be busy running my business, his business and our little family. (Heaven help us haha) So here is to a bright future, taking risk, long hours of work that will pay off and family!!

Things I want to remember from today 8.6.14
1. His funny faces
2. Today he found his tongue (a little over due)
3. How he never tires of the pool
4. His laugh
5. Four new teeth coming in (maybe I want to forget that haha)
6. Quality family time
7. That I love spending time with my husband

Little Lucy turns One

    

Little Lucy turned one today. Lucy is the daughter of one of my closest friends. We are lucky enough to have married men who nerded out together in high school and now we spend more time together then they do. We also have babies only four months apart, so basically it's awesome! Today Mckayla and I threw a little birthday bash for this pretty babe. 

        

*The "Happy Birthday" banner was made by using Cricut.
*The "Lucy" letters were (thrown together last minute) but I just cut out the letters from old boxes and used the Cricut to cut circles in many sizes. Then hot glued and cut off the unwanted edges.
*The stationary is from the Poppytalk line at Target that is completely to die for!
*Everything else was homemade and handmade by Lucy's Mommy.

Lucy was such a lady, her smash cake consisted of her picking the blueberries off and eating them. Love this tiny little one. 

8 Months Old

Eight months old today and I seriously love this age. Some days I think to myself, I need to write that down so I will remember that moment. This is my attempt of "remembering the little moments". 

*little hands slapping the tile floor in an attempt to follow Mama into the other room

*Strider in a white Hanes T-shirt so big it comes to his knees

*the way he stands in-between my legs and looks up at me while I eat, begging like a puppy

*how happy he gets when it's bath time

* the way he tickles my face when I rock him to sleep

*how excited he is to see his Teddy Bear 

*his little chubby legs 

*the first time he crawled and I was changing his diaper and he flipped around and crawled away naked

*his little raspy voice 

*the way he looks at his Daddy

*how much he loves balloons

I love you Strider John. Try to stay little.

 A little Sunday message, Happy Sunday! 

Motherhood is near to divinity. It is the highest, holiest service to be assumed by mankind. It places her who honors its holy calling and service next to the angels.
