Layout: Miss Independent

Miss A has grown so much in the past few weeks. I love seeing her personality blossom.
This picture shows my girl exerting her will to self feed ( no matter how much food she wastes and wears ).

Thanks for stopping by!

Layout: Love Your Smile

I hated this layout when I began working on it. I didn't like the feel of it, then I journaled directly on the layout and disliked that as well. So. I left the page on my scrap table for a couple of days and sat down to figure out what I needed to do.
I covered up the journaling with more Gesso and a doily. Then added layers with the tag and chevron bag. When working with the title, an idea struck: have multiple perspectives of journaling from visiting family members (who were entertaining the girl so I could craft).
This was when from one of my least favorite pages to a favorite in minutes. I love having her grandparent's, a great grandma, and Ry's journaling in addition to mine in the bag.

Layout: Sweet Baby & Me

Happy 2013 (a couple weeks late) ! 

This layout is one of my favorite photos from the early weeks of motherhood. I love babywearing and being close to Millie as much as possible! I wish I were home more so that I could babywear more often, but I know she is in good hands while I am away at work! 

Dressing a New Body: Stitch Fix

Have you heard of Stitch Fix?

I will fully admit I am no fashionista. I haven’t worn matching socks since 5th grade and a messy bun means I have made effort with my hair. Now that I have a wee one, I feel like I have to be a bit more presentable because she is so darn cute. And I’m a mom, but that doesn’t mean I need to wear mom jeans and such. (I will wear my ugly Christmas sweaters and vests- I don’t care what you say!)
I need a new wardrobe, but I really don’t like shopping and I don’t have time between working and taking care of little bit to go and try on tons of clothing.
This is where Stitch Fix comes in. I paid $20.00 for someone else to pick out a box of clothing and get it sent to my house based on a style profile I completed. Each piece arrives with a tag that shows you a dressed up and dressed down way to wear the piece.

I totally would model these awesome pieces for you, but I am beyond self-concious right now and in no mood to be a model. Maybe my next box I will get all dolled up for! 

I can’t keep it all, but I think I might keep the earrings and one of the sweaters. I wish the dress had fit my post-baby body better. I would have worn it every.single.day it was so soft! 

If you decide to get an awesome Stitch Fix box, please use my referral link. I will love you forever! 

Project Millie's Life: Week Six

Week SIX! This means I am all caught up on blogging Millie’s ablum (until I’m behind again tomorrow)! Last week we celebrated Halloween and Millie’s great-Papaw’s birthday. 

It has been a long, emotional week, but we are hanging in there and hopefully will create some sort of pattern soon. 

Project Millie's Life: Week Five

During week five I had to call in backup. My incision had some issues healing and I needed some help with Millie. Mamaw Minick came to stay and Millie loved all of the snuggles she was given. I am so thankful that Millie has so many grandparents and great-grandparents. There is never a shortage of arms to hold her! (Well maybe at 3 a.m.- haha!)

I feel like today is my first day of school with all of the preparations and planning that went into getting ready last night. Hi Ho Hi Ho it’s back to work I go! 

Project Millie’s LIfe: Week Four

Week four of Millie’s life started off with a visit from Auntie Allison, who is spoiling Millie already with adorable clothes (skinny jeans and babies make me laugh!) and the best nightlight ever. (Note to self: The nightlight justifies it’s own post eventually!) Millie’s funny faces really picked up in week four and she started smiling as a response to my voice and being on the changing table in addition to right before a big diaper blowout. So sweet! 

Happy Friday!!!
