Sugar and Spice and everything nice, that's what little girls are made of.............and TEA PARTY'S!! If you know me you know how much I love that Myleigh is a girly girl, babies and barbies and dressing up along with the drama and meltdowns that unfortunately comes along with it, but hey I'll take it! Madyson is a bit of a girly girl now when it comes to dresses, glitter, and rainbows but not with dolls and dress up. When Madyson was little she loved Disneys Cars and Dinosaurs, she wouldn't even touch a baby doll...believe me, I tried! I as a little girl played with barbies until I was in Junior high and playing house was a favorite. I think I loved it so much because I loved pretending I was a mommy, maybe because I had such a wonderful mom that I wanted to be just like her or maybe because I knew in my heart it was all I ever really wanted to be. But now watching Myleigh gather her dolls and play tea party with them and talk to them, and kiss them and serve them cookies well I was a little emotional. Because she is just to darn cute you get 2 for today!

Starting tomorrow night and for the whole month of February I am going to show you things and people and places that I love! I figured it is a great time to do it with it being the month for LOVE. So if you want to have some ideas of things to get me for my birthday, keep watching! :)

Day 31

UGH! I meant to post earlier but I was drug into lay down with Myleigh until she fell asleep! She has been glued to my side since I got back from my weekend in Florida. I don't think she liked me being gone very much and is now punishing me with NO privacy or time to do anything but hold her and play with her. She sat on my lap all day while I edited and answered emails. So my image today was going to be her and I glued together in the mirror....but then Madyson really wanted me to take her picture at dance class, so that won. Madyson loves dance and has been taking it up at All Ohio Shine for 3 years now. This year she is in Rock Pom and loves that she gets to dance with pom poms. I had a picture of her with her coach, Nikki but I don't think Nikki was a fan of being on my blog tonight so Mady chose this one.

Day 30

Home Sweet Home! So I was told I really disappointed last night with my picture, so I tried my best to do better today.....and what better way than a picture of me back home with my family. Long day of traveling back to COLD Ohio today, but am glad to be safe on the ground! My plane ride from Baltimore to Columbus was SCARY, way too much turbulence for me. I am glad the plane didn't just start rolling in the air and crash to the ground because with all the wind that's what it felt like it was going to do. It was headed to Vegas after it dropped me off in Columbus and I am thinking that all of those passengers should bet big because it is their lucky day!

Am so happy to be back home with the kids, although they have their grandma here right now so they aren't really caring that I am home. They are more concerned about how much longer she can stay....guess that will give me plenty of time to play with my new pictures and Lightroom (which I just installed).

My picture for day 29 (can you believe I have kept it up? I can't!)

I am running out of time, did you all think I forgot??? It's been a busy weekend down in Jacksonville for me, I just finished up with a wedding workshop with the amazing Julie Paisley. I had a blast and learned a lot about weddings, now I am ready to meet some brides......who wants to go first???!!!! I am now back at the hotel and for the first time I think ever, staying all by myself away from home! This is kinda weird, but I might just enjoy the quiet peacefulness of the night. I am reading The Hunger Games and enjoying a cold Diet Coke......need the caffeine to stay awake and finish this book. I am addicted...to both Diet Coke and this book ;) If anyone is looking for a great book I highly recommend The Hunger Games, it is fabulous! Well I must get back to my reading, but keep an eye on my page the next couple of days for some awesome images of some beautiful Brides! Thank you Julie Paisley Photography for such an amazing weekend and thanks to all of the Talented and Wonderful new friends I have made for being so sweet and nice. Love you all and I can't wait to meet up again.

This is my night tonight!

Day 28

Happy Birthday Myleigh!!!! My baby girl turned 2 today, and I am in Florida at a workshop :( I can't believe that she is already two years old, the time has gone by so fast! I love being a mommy and am so blessed to have 3 wonderful children!

Since I am gone I did some "facetime" with the girls on the ipad, I LOVE technology that lets me see them while I am away. And Myleigh was so happy to talk to me and sing happy birthday with me.

Short post tonight since I have so much to do......sorry!

Day 27

Frinkles anyone?? With my parents and grandma on vacation in Florida, I got the pleasure of keeping my nephew Cooper today. Now sometimes Cooper LOVES coming and playing at my house and sometimes he HATES it! I wanted him to feel special and be excited about it....you know be the cool fun Aunt, so I told him last night that he could help me make a cake for Myleigh today. He was so excited about it, he talked about it all night last night and all day today! So when Myleigh took her nap this afternoon Cooper and I made a cake. I had all kinds of stuff for him to decorate the cake and make it as crazy and fun looking as he wanted........I thought I would regret this as he is 3 and he could've said lets just put it all on. But all he wanted was Finkles! Lots and lots of Orange Frinkles, that's sprinkles for those of you who don't talk "Cooper". So I gave him all the sprinkles I had and he spent the next 45 minutes decorating the cake, and in that 45 min he barely put any on but was very careful about where he placed each one. It was so cute watching him and listening to his excitement over making Myleigh's birthday cake, he is so cute. I am so glad that I am an Aunt!

Day 26

I love that my kids play so well together! Don't get me wrong they fight and bicker too, but for the most part they really enjoy being together and play really well together. I don't know if it's a twin thing or just good parenting :).....probably a twin thing. When they were little they had a little twin language and would communicate with each other through a babble that only they understood, I loved that babble! Sometimes I wish I could just stop time and keep them this age for a little longer, they are growing up so fast......the babble is long gone, the first teeth have been lost, and the drama has begun. Before I know it they will be driving off in their first car, packing to go to college and getting married........I can't wait to see where life takes them but I would be happy if every once in a while I could just push a pause button and enjoy them a little longer at each stage of their lives. I am now going to go upstairs and give my two oldest a great big hug and then go snuggle with Myleigh for awhile.
