Gold Posts

A simple gold post; these were Olivia's earring of choice.  

After at least a year of wearing small stickers on her ears, she now has the real deal! She wanted to know how it would all play out, down to how the piercing gun worked.  Once all of her questions were answered, she was ready.  She was completely brave and shed no tears while getting them pierced.  

Here she is, in all her big-girl glory with her shiny new golden earrings! 

'g' Aren't These Cute

My two kids are well out of diapers but I have some friends who are still very much in the thick of it!  When Liv was a baby, I desperately wanted to put her in gdiapers (a completely earth-friendly hybrid diaper out of Australia) but they were not available anywhere in Canada at the time.  The thought of driving to the states was a bit too daunting so I continued on with disposables and felt bad the whole time.

I may have changed my tune if these little numbers had been available!  Can you stand how cute these are?  Every baby bum deserves a green, environmentally friendly, completely adorable daiper such as these.

Time to Slow Down

I think somebody, somewhere is telling me to slow down a bit!  Shortly after my Monday morning post was put up yesterday I took a certain little girl to the doctor's office.  She woke up with the brightest red cheeks you've ever seen!  We waited and waited and waited.  She was so patient and happy...

and red, and blotchy....

and in our 2-plus hours of waiting, we read and sang and caught up.  It was actually a really special time (well maybe not for all of the other people waiting!).  She's got fifth disease!  Have you ever experienced this?  Apparently, it's quite common and generally once the distinctive red rash appears, you aren't contagious.  We're not taking any chance for the next few days (just to be safe).   So, my plans have changed a little for this week and I'll be sticking close to home with Liv.  We'll get some gardening done and maybe some fun craft projects. 

 I'm sure I'll manage to get some work in here and there!

Weekend Snippets

I know, I know, I'm a day late on this post but we had an extra long 4 day weekend and I took advantage of it!  It couldn't have been more perfect and I am now ready to take on the rest of the week (maybe even the month but don't tell anyone!).
