Happy 2nd Birthday Vintage! June 30th 2012

     My little pixie has turned 2. She has quite the little personality and keeps up with her big sister. She is like a little parrot and mimics everything she does. She is learning her abcs and how to count and now the potty! We had a Farmer's Market theme and brought our friends down to our local Farmer's Market. There was a drummer teaching the kids how to drum. We enjoyed a hot summer day with watermelon, bubbles and some amazing cupcakes and cake made by a friend of mine. Happy 2nd trip around the sun sweet Vintage. Mama loves you!

This Moment (Inspired by Soulemama) Wonder

{this moment} - A Friday ritual. A single photo - no words - capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember.

Simplicity Celebration Tuesday

     Every Tuesday I will be joining my friend Kathy from Bliss Beyond Naptime. She is such an inspiration for me. Not only can she make the perfect cup of coffee, but reading her blog reminds me to keep our daily activities and celebrations simple. This morning I found Violet in the Foyer sitting on a chair with her guitar singing. We have a basketful of instruments that we have used daily since Violet was a babe. What a simple activity to have on hand. I was not very musical growing up, but I have tried to expose my children to as much music possible, maybe they will play me a song someday. For now it is such a fun, free activity to do with your children. Feel free to share your Simplicity Celebration here or over on Kathy's blog.

Not only can she make the perfect cup of coffee, but reading her blog reminds me to keep our daily activities and celebrations simple. This morning Vintage loved helping me with such a simple chore using the coffee grinder. It kept her happy and occupied for quite awhile. "This is the way we grind our coffee on a Tuesday morning" Feel free to share your Simplicity Celebration here or over on Kathy's blog.
