Shoes, Art and Motherhood: June 2013
http://shoesartandmotherhood.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
P90: Weigh in, Measurements, and Day 1. I know I won't be able to get all 90 days in before we go to Disney since our trip is in 72 days, but I'm hoping to get as much as possible. So from here on out, it will be P72 instead. ;). Left Arm: 13 in. Right Arm: 13 in. Left Thigh: 24 in. Right Thigh: 25 in. Waist: 36.5 in. I'm going to try not to take measurements again until Day 36 (halfway), and then before we go to Disney (I'll probably end it here.) I'm excited to see what the next 71 days bring. We will ...

Shoes, Art and Motherhood: June 2012

Reasons to wait on having kids. Cecily left today going to London for a month for school, and Sarah will be in London, Paris, Scotland and who knows where else in July. Plus, she gets to go to Disneyland Paris! Baby Bookworms, Girl Scout meetings and camp, and dreading maternity leave being over because I won't get to cuddle Maddie all day anymore. Not that I don't love all those things, but it's just not quite the same as studying literature in London or visiting Disneyland Paris. Links to this post.

Shoes, Art and Motherhood: Disney Arts and Crafts
http://shoesartandmotherhood.blogspot.com/2013/07/disney-arts-and-crafts.html
Disney Arts and Crafts. We have been doing a lot of Disney related crafts recently, and I have to share them! This post is all clothes, but I'll do another with the autograph pillowcases and the bottles as soon as I have them finished. But for now, CLOTHES! The thing I've had the most fun with is tshirts. I used the same freezer paper tutorial I used on the Jeep shirt. But made sure to have matte paint this time. They are working out beautifully, and I've gotten carried away making them. A look at life f...

Shoes, Art and Motherhood: February 2013
http://shoesartandmotherhood.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Yeah, so I suck at this. It's amazing how little time I have now with three little ones around. We've mostly settled into a routine at night, but by the time they are all out, it's then time for me to clean up and get myself to bed, and usually one of the little ones is back awake again! Anyway, I'm here. For now, at least! It has been so helpful, and since I was nursing and wouldn't really need bottles except at the sitter, I could also use it for medicine droppers, pump parts, and sippy cup straws....

Shoes, Art and Motherhood: November 2012
http://shoesartandmotherhood.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Wow, three months. I knew it had been awhile, but didn't realize it had been this long. The past month or so has been super crazy getting ready for Birthdaypalooza 2012, and now we've started "A Very Pinterest Christmas." I'll post quick updates on the girls and us, and I promise to be back with the good and not so good Pinterest ideas we've tried! She's two. And definitely acts like a two year old! I hear a lot of "No, Mommy! You a mean mommy! And my favorites, "go bed, Mommy! And "EAT SOUP, MOMMY!

Shoes, Art and Motherhood: August 2012

Those pictures are all from Biloxi and Gulfport. And this was after all the awesome, amazing people down there had been working for 19 months. On cleaning and rebuilding. The days right after Katrina were horrific, and seven years later we are finally getting back to some sense of normal. And, of course, Isaac has to head our way and plans to hit almost exactly on the seven year anniversary of Katrina. Links to this post. Praying it passes soon. Links to this post. Middle of the night ramblings. There ar...

Shoes, Art and Motherhood: Summer is over
http://shoesartandmotherhood.blogspot.com/2013/08/summer-is-over.html
Tonight we got to meet Cadence's 3rd grade teacher, and she had her Girl Scout pinning ceremony as well. I love her teacher, and I know that this year will be wonderful. Cadence was in true form when we met her, but hopefully we didn't scare her away too bad. ;). The pinning ceremony was wonderful, and all the girls did so well. My favorite part was when they asked Cadence what her favorite thing about Girl Scouts this year was, and her response was "Making the world a better place! First Day of School.

Shoes, Art and Motherhood: My Disney Obsession
http://shoesartandmotherhood.blogspot.com/2013/07/my-disney-obsession.html
Ok, I admit it. I'm obsessed. I said it. I don't just like Disney. I ADORE Disney. I just like vacations there. I obsessively count down to the and plan out all the details. I don't just go visit the parks. I visit, have outfits for my kids, and know all the new attractions that are open. And I will admit that this trip is no different. So far our schedule is as follows:. Check in to Coronado Springs, and hopefully be in Magic Kingdom by 10am. Dinner that night at Chef Mickey's. Lunch at Mama Melrose.

Shoes, Art and Motherhood: Best. Momma. EVER!
http://shoesartandmotherhood.blogspot.com/2013/08/best-momma-ever.html
Best Momma. EVER! We are so incredibly blessed, and I'm so so thankful. Mike also took me shopping the other day (again, the whole "lost all the baby weight" thing), and I got two new pair of jeans, a pair of capris, crocs ballet flats, and some other "unmentionables" that I needed. I'm loving all my new stuff, and the best part was that all my jeans were the same size I bought before I was pregnant with Cadence! I also used the gift card tonight (yes, I had it a total of 3ish hours before it was spent!

Shoes, Art and Motherhood: April 2012
http://shoesartandmotherhood.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Me, at 33 weeks. Eating lunch with my favorite first grader. The Easter Bunny even brought me stuff at other people's houses! Day at the park and Museum with Girl Scouts:. Links to this post. Can I blame it on the baby? It was brought to my attention that it's been 2.5 months since I updated anything, and I am so sorry! There have been a ton of things going on, so I'll give a quick rundown on our lives since February. Still not much closer on the room, but hoping to get that settled this weekend. I'm...
