Happy Birthday to my Princess!

This weekend we celebrated Chloe's 4th Birthday - can you believe it?! I know I can't. She is getting so big and independent but I am grateful that she is still mommy's girl and loves her cuddles! ---I really don't know what will become of my life when Cuddles end.

Organizing Mother Goose Time

It has taken me a couple of boxes to figure out the best way to sort my self out for a new month and theme of Mother Goose Time. I think I finally figured out the best way!

When you first receive your shipment and open the box it can be a bit overwhelming because there is just SO MUCH in there and it's all packaged in little bags. The bags are extremely helpful because they come labeled with the date of the month you will be using it and all the materials you need for that day.

A new chef in the kitchen

I love cooking and baking and ever since Chloe was born I could not wait to have her help me in the kitchen.

I know that growing up to help in the kitchen all that was needed was a dining room chair, but I have very nice hard to clean dining room chairs and they are also not the best to stand on..anyway...this is where the Guidecraft Step-up Kitchen helper comes in with all it's glory.

Seriously, the best money I have spent in a long time. Trust me, I have a problem with spending so this is a big bold statement and I stand by it. In the picture Above you can see Chloe (3 years old) This picture is fantastic to give you an idea of the size and how much room there is on the platform. I have no fears of her accidentally stepping off the side!

Since we got the kitchen helper, Chloe is obsessed with helping in the kitchen (can be a bad thing, especially when I just want to whip up a quick meal but I've had worse problems in my life.)

We will share on of Chloe's favorite recipes and it's so easy that she can pretty much do it herself! 

When are you having another?

My whole life I always wanted 3 kids. Not 2, not 4 but 3. It just felt right. My husband was on board with 3 and when we decided to have our first and I was only 25, I knew we would have plenty of time for the other two.

Being pregnant was magical, I had morning sickness and even got kidney stones during my pregnancy but all I remember when I think back was feeling my daughter move, or listening to heart beat for the first time. I remember it fondly.

When Chloe was born, my heart grew about 4 times it's original size. I know this has been said a gazillion times but I really found out what love really really was when I held that little girl in my arms. 7 lbs, 7 oz of nothing but perfection. I loved being a mom and it felt natural. I was so in love with this little person, my life was from that moment forward - hers.

To this day she is the light of my life, for everyone else though - It felt like the minute she was born she became old news and the question "When are you having another?" kept coming up. Can you let my C Section heal before you ask me about another?
