MAMA MOMENTS- this photo sums up most of my days. 
Holding one baby..the other crawling on top of me. :) 

SIENNA...is ready to rock and roll. 
she is trying to crawl and grab everything she can see.
 i can’t believe it! sometimes i pick her up because i don’t want her to be mobile yet…hahaha.. does that make me a bad mama? ok i did it like twice…my excuse was “ben isn’t here she can’t crawl without ben here to watch!! ;) crawling=game over.



FAVORITE PARTY THEME – Darling Bow-Tie Baby Shower
via hostess with the mostess
 
 
SOPHIA…..is my little girly girl. rockin the crown fairy wings 
and at this moment was hiding from me in her tent. :) LOVE that curl in the front. i’m too scared to give her a hair cut because I want to see how it turns out!


LETS GET COOKIN’ – so i was on the hunt for a fabulous chocolate chip cookie recipe. and tried out the Betty Crocker Cook Book’s recipe of the classic and it was a HIT.
 And….it’s way more budget/’use what you have’ friendly! It only takes 1 egg instead of 2!  
You also don’t bake it as long..and every minute counts when you have your hands full!
 i think making it with butter rather than margarine made a huge difference too. 
Growing up i always used margarine but now i see why they always say to bake with unsalted butter. TRY THIS RECIPE! i’m still on the hunt though for awesome recipes to bake..so i’ll share those as they come. I’ve been in the mood to try out new things in the kitchen! 
here’s a yummy camera phone pic to tease you….
THE ONE THING I HIDE & SHE ALWAYS FINDS – Stickers. 
haha. ok..i don’t always hide them. she is usually pretty good about where she puts them. only once did she cover my phone and the sofa. usually it’s her shirt or my shirt or daddy’s shirt…..or her nose. ????
ps. sophia dressed herself that day…i guess polka dots was the running theme throughout her look? hehe.
clothes-target.

    Your girls are ABSOLUTELY adorable!! I love the stickers on the nose. And I love that attic. Our upstairs is actually unfinished and we want to make it a big playroom. And THAT just gave me lots of ideas! :)

    I always love looking at your pictures! Your creative mind comes up with the best designs, I only wish mine did too:)

    Ohh and those girls…I mean they can’t get any cuter. Really. And you are the beautiful momma who made them (and pops too)
