I know I've bragged on my talented friends before, but seriously. I have some TALENTED ones. My lovely friend Lisa is selling these gorgeous mocs that she handmade. everything. cut out the leather, stitched and all. I have a pair in grey, since I've had those she's started making the beautiful navajo print. Looks like i'm going to need another pair! If you're interested in a pair leave your email address and I'll pass it on to Lisa! She doesn't have an etsy yet- but I betcha it's coming soon. ;)


$65 with Navajo print | $60 without. What a brilliant thing to spend your Christmas money on.

Peas suck

(4 months)

At 4 months, we started Fern off with rice cereal and oatmeal.. She looooved it. She ate it every day for two months, and the Suddenly at 6 months, she did everything she could to make it stop. She would literally GAG herself when we fed it to her! WHAT! My only guess is that it's a texture thing. I don't know.
Luckily it was just in time to move on to baby foods. So far she loves carrots, sweet potatoes, and all kinds of fruit. .... Peas however... we have an issue with peas. A real life issue.

(6 months)

I don't know what's better, that face, or those rolls.  yowza this girl is a cutie.


Does anyone have any experience with BLW?? (Baby led weening) I've only heard it in brief conversation, but if anybody has hands on experience, I'd like to know what you think.

Learning to count with Mr. Darcy and the like...

I've been collecting these sweet BabyLit color and counting primers by Jennifer Adams for about a month now, and I think it's safe to say I'm obsessed. I hope Fern loves them as much as I do. What better way to learn your colors and how to count than with some of the literary classics? (not to mention the art throughout is adorable.) I hope Fern realizes what a cool mom I am. ;)

Fit throwing

Let's talk about how hilarious baby fits are... Fern's fits are so ridiculous we can't help but laugh at her when she starts. She usually ends up laughing with us. Despite her looney fits she loves making people smile. I love seeing her personality develop. This little girl loves to make people happy, and we are her number one audience.
