Insta-Friday

Here's a little glimpse of our week documented with my phone...

____________________________________________________________

This week....

Poor teething Cade was either fussing while sitting on my hip...


 
or sleeping peacefully like a little toad :)
I adore him!


I spent a few naptimes this week catching up on orders and giveaway prizes...
all while guzzling Dr. Peppers for the caffeine :)

 
And...turns out I drink alot while I work.
You know what I mean.
Below I was guzzling coffee for my caffeine fix while working on the 2 week menu plan.

Sweet Emma modeling a new fall dress that I made last week...
I have a habit of calling my children "sweet" before their name...
anyone else do this? :)

 
I spent one evening updating all three baby books.
I had read on someone's blog (can not remember who? if it was you tell me!)
that mother's are the "memory keepers" for the family.
I love that they worded it like that!
And it's so true!
My kids baby books are a tad different than the traditional baby book.
I write each month as a letter to each child.
Writing down what they were up to that month... how they're growing...
funny things they would say to me throughout the day.
I didn't start out doing the books this way...it just kind of evolved into that.
 
I also keep a notebook on my counter to write down any little moments I don't want to forget.
Funny things they say or do. Or just sweet moments.
When they're older and out of the house I'll just make a copy for each of them.
