instafriday #11

a little peek into our week :)

on our way out the door to my doctor's appointment, i locked the keys in the house. luckily i had my phone. luckily my hubby's job is pretty flexible (though 35 minutes away). he drove all the way home and unlocked the door :/ but while we waited, we made the most of it. played in the car, recorded videos on the phone, walked over to the park. just a nice morning we wouldn't have otherwise enjoyed.

practicing on her own "baby Tessa" (every doll in our house is named Tessa which i think is sweet) we have 12 days until we all get to meet the real Tessa. i'm hoping Reese loves her as much as she's anticipated her.

last friday night i got to go to Target all by myself. of course i grabbed some starbucks and of course i spent way too much time in there. not too much money though, so that's a plus.

how cute are these cupcake liners? 75 for $1.50 at michaels. they had lots of other darling designs too. you should go get some.

if yo'll just let me brag for a second... these little letters were at my mom's house. I handed them to Reese in no particular order and this is how she set them out. she's my genius child.

these things are dangerous. pretty sure i ate the entire (huge) box in 3 days. by myself.

one of the things i bought at target were two step stools for Reese. she is obsessed with being able to see herself in the mirror :) here she was chatting and singing to herself. i love it. and i LOVE this photo.

PS. i'm having a little sale in the shop. everything is 25% off, using code BABY25 
[in anticipation of my new baby who's coming in exactly 12 days!?!]
everything except the hoop art is ready to ship! hoop art ships in 3 business days.

to wipe away your yelling

one of my favorite things to do in december is to drive around to see the lights. our neighborhood is huge, and we have some seriously awesome houses. one of them is our next-door neighbor, so we don't have to look very far it we don't want to. but at least five or six times in december i would stick the girls in the car and drive around our neighborhood to spot the best-decorated houses. one particular evening, as we were driving, i asked my three-year old if she remembered what was so special about Christmas. "it's when Jesus came to see all my presents!" that's when you know you're doing a good job, right? yeah, so i gently reminded her that Jesus came, in fact, to wipe away our sins. after a thirty second pause, she wondered out loud: "He came to wipe away your yelling?" straight.to.the.heart. "Because when you yell, that's your sin. and when i don't listen to you, that's my sin." yes, right again. i found
