oh the madness and a half birthday!


how incredibly fast the days seem to pass. 
it feels like just yesterday sweet Finn entered into the world, 
although my tired body says otherwise
and yet in the the blink of eye we've already celebrated his half birthday!

each addition to the family somehow speeds up the clock, 
we reach milestones so much faster. 
gone are the days of waiting around for them to do "something"
the "somethings" are happening fast and furious from all three kiddos. 
and I'm trying to keep up. 
some days it feels impossible to meet all of their demands, their needs and wants 
and other days we manage a perfect rhythm. 

life is very busy with three littles, some sleeping but mostly not
it's like musical beds most every night
but I know it my heart that these are perhaps the simplest of times of head
their needs still mostly primal, a hug and kiss still mend boo boos
they need a snuggle and for you to watch their "cool" trick 
I know in later years we will be longing for them to want us or need us like they do now. 
or at least I will. 

so I'll take the sleep deprivation, not going to the bathroom alone (in four years)
and sleeping wedged between Georgie and Finn every night as some of the best times of our life 
because all those wistful faces of sweet grandmas at the grocery store can't be wrong.

a boy and his mama


this mothers day is a little extra special for me this year
because it also happens to be Oliver's fourth birthday!
My goodness, four years since I became a mom, 
and my whole life changed. 

Oliver has become such a little boy, 
no baby or toddler attributes left in his features
he loves transformers and rescue bots 
and turns everything into robots while making these hilarious sound effects. 


he's still quite sensitive and emotional 
and hasn't come to terms with "if you dish it out you better be able to take it" 
when it comes to instigating things with his feisty sister. 

he's caring, smart and oh so 
 proud of his role as big brother. 

gosh four years went fast.

two


she's funny and fierce
she's sweet (every now and then) and saucy (a lot)
and today she's TWO!



Georgie is one of a kind, magnetic and fiery.
We love her beyond measure and are buckling up for a wild ride!

You can read her birth story here and here

esty love


I bought these ultra adorable felt masks for party favours 
for Oliver and Georgie's joint woodland themed party last May.
and they were a huge hit with the kids (and parents too!)

I thought I would share as they make a great gift for the littles if you are starting to think about xmas gifting... and even if you weren't.

woodland masks from Mahalo, cost about $10 each


 I also bought this adorable set from magicalattic for about $30

quotes


like a wise, wise owl, Oliver told me on Saturday that...
"When I'm done being 3- I'll be 4. When I'm done being 4- I'll be 5
When I'm done being 5- I'll be 20"

That's just about it kid.
In three short years you have changed my entire world 
and taught me more than I could imagine.
