Mom Problems and A Winner

Stopping in real quick like and sharing some photos of my kiddo trying to help me with the groceries. I won't be around these parts tomorrow. I'm having a yard sale. Gonna try my hardest to hustle some old junk.

I love the progression of these pictures. The proof that she's getting more and more independent as the days go by. She can carry a bag of oranges. What's next? Her telling me she doesn't need to sleep with her pink bankit? I'm clutching my imaginary pearls and weeping from the thought of that.

My little helper. I almost feel naked if I don't have her by my side. She is my partner in crime. She's my shadow. Where I go, she goes. I love that feeling. That feeling of a tiny sized human needing me. And I need her. More than she could ever imagine. I know one day that will change. She won't want to tag along with me on the reg. She will be too busy or too cool to go pick up some laundry detergent with her mom. I'll have to go by myself. And on that drive there, with no toddler in a car seat behind me, I'll want to rewind back to these moments. 

A big congrats to Kayla for winning the Tulle & Twig giveaway! I will be contacting you later in the day! Don't forget to enter to win some jewelry from Ball and Chain! Enter HERE!

Tulle & Twig Giveaway CLOSED

My child probably thought I had lost my mind yesterday afternoon. When she got up from her nap, I told her we were having a party. She asked if her friends were coming to her birthday party. I said no, it wasn't her birthday, and no, her friends weren't coming. Sad face. But, Mommy and you are having a party! All to ourselves! She thought that was just the best thing her little ears had ever heard.

I put her into a party slash princess dress, plopped a crown on the top of her head, and we got our sugar high on. We had this ice cream social because the lovely Tulle & Twig sent us some of their amazing party supplies. They specialize in wooden cutlery. It's the perfect touch to any sort of shindig. Why buy lame old plastic forks and spoons when you can go all natural with wood? And not just any plain wooden utensils. Polka dot. Striped. Animal print even. Oh. yes.

Disclaimer: Most of the treats were for show. Adrienne drank half a mini jug of strawberry milk and ate a few spoonfuls of her ice cream before she'd had enough of me and my party. She  moved on to better things. Like her dollhouse and an episode of Yo Gabba Gabba. Can't win them all.

So, here are the photos. Get ready for a sweetness overload. Be sure to check out the end of this post for your chance to win a mini gift set from Tulle & Twig! CLOSED
