song of the week

While You Wait For The Others by Grizzly Bear

from the album Veckatimest

I can't seem to get enough of this band lately and this song... 

too good! enjoy!

these two

Some days it seems nothing goes right while others seem like nothing could go wrong.
I am blessed beyond measure that I get to be the mama to these two but...
while some days I'm brimming with awe and swooning over them
there's other days I'm close to tears in frustration. And some days have a bit of both.
This parenting gig is a real trip I tell ya.

Tent o'balls // eating lemons? // hunting for treasure //
bath time // happy girl //
solo swim // special special treats from trandad // big yawns (try sleeping!)

kiss your kids

Today was Georgie's first full, all day at daycare.
I missed her. a lot.
I missed her growls and her squeals.
I missed her pawing at my shirt
(which she made up for the second we got home!)
I know she had a great time with her brother and her pals.
But I know she missed me too.
We played and cuddled and loved on each other until it was time for bed.
Soon we will settle into our new routine but today was bittersweet.
Life of the working mom.

And sometimes twice for good measure.

Almost Eleven

This week I was feeling nostalgic about big buddha bellies and march heat waves 

(especially after another dose of cold temperatures and snow). Ahhh this picture. 35 weeks and waiting to meet our babe.  Little did we know we were about to meet our adorable, little ball of fire. Georgina. She has oodles of personality packed into her tiny body. She's wild. While Oliver is so particular and meticulous, Georgie is demanding and spontaneous. These two are going to have the best of times together and the worst I'm sure. Both headstrong but one emotional and the other brute force. 

As we near closer to the eleven month mark only to be followed up by the ONE year old mark, 

I'm in disbelief.  Our baby girl is heading towards Toddlerhood. 

Eeeeks. We need to buckle up this is surely going to be a bumpy ride!

This is what almost eleven months looks like. 

1/. 14 days  2/. one month  3/. two months  4/. three months  5/. almost eleven months  6/. 35 weeks

7/. four months  8/. ten months  9/. five months  10/. nine months 11/. eight months

12/. seven months   13/. six months 

song of the week

I have been discovering and re-discovering so many songs on my ipod lately. 

And this little gem has been playing on shuffle a lot. 

Loud Love from the album Come Back As Rain

by Good Old War

ghill life lately

I held my first open house for my new Arbonne venture 

and with the support of my family and friends met my Strong Start goals! 

I have been having a blast with it thus far 

and look forward to this month with new challenges and lots of learning to do.

The products really are amazing and I know how well they have worked for me

but I absolutely love hearing how they have improved someone else's life!

And so here it is, some snap shots of our ghill life lately!
