KB's books...

I don't know why I didn't do this sooner.  I have seen this idea on Pinterest many times...  And LOVED it. And the color theme goes SO well in KB's room! I think this is my new favorite space!

"Look mommy...  Look! I drewd dis batman jus for Keetza!"

How'd I get a pre-schooler?

Someone asked me about KB's future schoolimg.... and after a fleeting though of "oh we still have plenty of time to think about that"..... it suddenly dawned on that, KB is almost four! Meaning in just a little over a year, my baby(!) will be starting Kindergarten.... EEK!! Its a very sobering thought!

Hair adventures...

Thanks to the inspiration from The Story Of A Princess And Her Hair as well as my magnificent Mom's of Girls... I have decided every day (that go out)... to try some new (ie something other than the standard two pig tails or single pony tail).styles on KB's hair.  I have only been at it two days... and so far, it's It has been challenging, but so much fun!

Funny Fridays :: And God said...

Tuesday night, as we were driving home from supper, KB was telling her daddy about Adam and Eve and how they weren't supposed to eat the fruit but they disobeyed. When B asked her what happened to them for disobeying she responded: "God created the heavens and earth, and said NO chocolate!!"

Hmm.. me thinks someone is mixing up the creation lesson (where Adam/Eve were disobedient)... with her own at home (her taking chocolate when she's not supposed to)...

 Passing on the tradition.... Three years of Chick-fil-A! ;)

A birthday we'll never forget!!

Exactly three years ago, this very moment -- August 11, 2007 @ 11:36pm -- my baby girl finally made her way into this world... just a mere 24mins before her daddy's 24th birthday. I am pretty sure he'd agree, that she was the best & most blessed birthday present a person could ever receive!! -- Happy birthday baby girl... and happy birthday, my love! ♥ ♥

Wordless Wednesday: KB is THREE!!!

Wordless Wednesday: When baby girl doesn't feel good...

Note from KB's Mommy and Daddy…

Note from Mom and Dad…
That time is approaching once again! - KB's birthday!!

We appreciate your time & thoughtfulness of choosing a gift... however, your friendship & love is present enough - so please don't feel obligated to give anything but a smile... and maybe a hug or two. :)

Nevertheless... if you do wish to give a little something...  we just ask that you help us to balance the wants with the needs and present them with what will help her to grow in the way we want her to go. Let's bring in toys that are responsible – even in this small way our monies will shape their future, both in where the money goes and what it brings home to them.

*THIS* is *American Ido.... Church?!?!

KB just informed us this afternoon (ever so enthusiastically)....
"Jesus won American Idol Church!!!"

I have NO clue where she got that one.(?!)  The only thing we can figure is American Idol and church are two places that have singing...???  ~ And anyone that knows her knows how much she LOVES singing!!  LOL

Silly, silly girl...

Exultations of Adoration...

There is no effect more disproportionate to its cause
than the happiness bestowed by a small compliment.  ~Robert Brault

 KB has always been a very empathetic, thoughtful little person.... but lately, she has become very complimentary, as well.  Everywhere we go.... every person we meet... she has something- at least one thing - that she "likes" about the person.  From their dress to their shoes... their earrings to their nails... their eyes to their hair.... . to  their skills - like [music] playing...  She always seems to know just how to bring a smile to a person's face!  And I smile, because after all, everyone needs a little adoration every once in a while... :)

Mark Twain once said: "I can live for two months on a good compliment." ~ And I like to think that people all over, are living even a smidgen happier lives... all because of one little girl's attentiveness to detail...  her big, sincere heart... and her kind, compassionate & loving words! ~  I am so proud of her!!

Beyond Myself: KB's homebirth

I am pleased to note that KB's birth story is now being shared one more place among the world wide web! This time on A Much Better Cafe - a collaborative, user created resource for all aspects of attachment parenting and natural family living.

eBay finds:: Robeez!!

When KB wears shoes (haha!), about 80% of the time, they are still soft-soled.... so, needless to say, when I won this auction  earlier today... I was  pretty stoked!  To find *three* pairs of lightly used Robeez  - all coming  from the same seller.... in the size we were needing (2-3 years) - that were priced low at the end of an auction --  and then. to win them all for a total of only $28.40 - shipped!! -  it was only by the Lord's provision!!
