Mama Made shorts and a sneak peek

Some new mama made shorts for Audra with some vintage fabric.

And a 350 pound one piece something that I ordered...that of course needs to go upstairs. Gulp. (I love love love love it though...it will totally be worth it right!?) All kids are wearing mama mades in this pic. <3

Care for some tea?

We were surprised by an adorable handmade dress from a thrifter extraordinaire. (Thank you Paula!). Fits Anna-Kate perfectly and she looks incredibly adorable in it.

It inspired a tea party!

Hosted by Audra, in her mama made dress.

Adrian was told he could join if he dressed up. He actually did! Thank you, Paula for the wonderful day you inspired!

Garage

I love when he gets inspired.

Green onions and chives

My daily supply delivered everyday is much, much more than our family can consume, but I will never refuse delivery of garden produce.

This girl consumes so much that she regular smells like a sub.

Old fashioned

The old fashioned games are strong here....often wearing mama mades!

(Note the freight train in the background)

I also have been crowned the queen. Although I was the queen, I have definitely been bossed around my my the photographer. "BE A SURPRISED QUEEN."

"BE AN EVIL QUEEN"

"BE A SERIOUS QUEEN"

"BE A HAPPY QUEEN"

This went on for about 100 photos. I just need to remember this day because for a change, I got to be the queen instead of their servant!

Our Girl Holly.

I've been less regular with blogging lately. Truth be told, this phase of life has brought parenting struggles that have me struggling with all areas of my life. Blogging always helps me see the forest from the trees, for that I'm thankful. Today I'm appreciating our Holly girl.In the midst of chaos, our Holly has been at the ready as a steady comfort for each kid whenever they need snuggles, a reprieve, a celebration, anything. She spends lots of time in the rock garden area. She watches everything, always accepting of whatever affection comes her way. These pictures span over the course of the last month. They are only the moments I had my camera at the ready. There are several more that I missed each week. We sure do love our Holly girl.

Meanwhile, in other areas of our life, we also have Copper. Copper brings an entirely different vibe, lol! He'll turn out to be a great dog, once he gets all this puppy out of him!
