Fall Fun
We’ve been having so much fun this fall. It’s easy to do that with a precocious almost-two-year-old. There’s been a lot of sugar involved. And costumes. Costumes should be allowed all year. Mothers love costumes.
30 Days of Gratitude
Craft Night with the girls included this great project called 30 Days of Gratitude. We got together and cut and pasted these beautiful envelopes with matching cards. You list 5 things that you’re thankful for everyday. Day #1: A fun family, Trick or Treating, lazy rainy weekends in our jammies, big kid friends and sleeping… Continue reading 30 Days of Gratitude

Quiet-Time Basket
I’m not disciplined at it, but I’m striving to be, more and more everyday. Some mornings life gets away from me. Breakfast preparations, the dishes. The 2-year-molars waking the older one early. The 4 night wakings by the 7 week-old causing a sleepy Mama who can’t pull herself from the covers before 6:30 AM. But… Continue reading Quiet-Time Basket

Once a week or so Tripp and I love to get all messy in the kitchen. Tripp calls it, simply, “Cook.” He stands on a kitchen chair. I tie a vintage apron around his neck and he eats chocolate chips while I bake something fun. Occasionally he will stick his finger into the bowl or… Continue reading Fun Foods
What I Know To be True
As I chased my almost two-year old at the park yesterday I thought about how pure and good he was. His little heart bursts at the seams when he sees his dad at the end of the day. He doesn’t care that he wears shoes without a brand name or that his Mommy dressed him… Continue reading What I Know To be True

Welcome to the World Hudson Riaao Taylor
We welcomed our second little boy, Hudson Riaao Taylor last week. August 30th, 2010 at 9:02 AM. He weighed 7 lbs. 4 oz. and measured 20 inches long. He is perfect in every way and looks just like his big brother. I have always loved the name Hudson and wanted to use an ‘H’ after… Continue reading Welcome to the World Hudson Riaao Taylor

I try to stop periodically throughout the day to stare at you and commit to memory the things you… Continue reading 20 Months
