Indigo came into the living room a couple of days ago from the direction of my bathroom. I don’t usually pay much attention to that as she is now potty trained and uses my bathroom all the time. However, I did notice something particularly peculiar about her, so I told her to come closer to […]
So, what I want to know is, since my children love to clean the floor, why does it always look so horrid?
I was feeling kinda blue the other day and was sitting on my bed, alone, taking a break. Indigo silently walked into my room and climbed up on the bed with me. She looked at me in the face, then snuggled up next to me and started stroking my leg. She kept that up for […]
The children play outside a lot. For the most part they play really well together. The other day I went outside to check on them and discovered this: Yes, that’s Indigo inside a rabbit cage (no there’s no rabbit in there). Now, I must clarify. When I went outside, what I initially found was Hewitt, […]
When we cut our soap into bars, there are small pieces left over that we cut into samples. We place the individual bars of soap on the curing racks, and the samples on a separate rack. Indigo has decided that it is her job to carry all the samples to their shelf. She calls herself […]
I just had to share this photo of Indigo hugging her baby doll. She’s at that stage where she’s really sweet with them. She’ll love on them one moment and throw them across the room the next moment. It’s a good thing she still has lots of time to practice before she’s a mom! […]
Two nights ago, I had a very bad headache. I was lying on my stomach and I asked Cole to rub my shoulders. Emery came over to help as well. I told him to pound on my neck as it was very tense. They were hard at work and it felt wonderful! A few minutes […]
There is no question that the whole house treats Indigo like a little princess. After 5 boys in a row, her arrival was welcomed by all. I’m trying very hard to make sure that she doesn’t end up like a spoiled, rotten princess. So far, so good. The children decided today that Princess Bean (her […]
Grandma came for a visit in July. Here she is with the girls. Grandma slept in the “big, big bed” with Indigo. When Grandma went home, Indigo cried because she wanted to sleep with Grandma. Brett told Indigo that Grandma needed to sleep with Poppy. Indigo decided that Poppy needed to sleep by himself, Grandma […]
I’ve been very fortunate in my life to have had very few addictions. I don’t like coffee, I’ve never smoked, and I’m not a drinker. My biggest life-long addiction has always been books. I just can’t seem to start a book and not finish it in one sitting. This usually causes me to stay up to […]
My children have very active imaginations. This is a photo of the royal family wearing their capes and sitting on their throne – King Greyden and Queen Bean flanked by Prince Hewitt and Prince Fletcher. They entertained themselves for hours.
Brett is in charge of Indigo‘s potty training. She decided that it would be easier to just have Indigo sit on her potty ALL day. So she got her set up…
Emery and Indigo came in the other day from collecting eggs. Indigo was cradling something in her arms. When I asked her what it was, she carefully showed me her “little, baby egg.” It was very difficult getting her to surrender her “little, baby egg.” But I finally did by promising her I would […]
Brett waited 9 long years to finally get the sister she wanted so much. Let’s just say – she’s really enjoying it.
Remember when I said that the children liked to treat Indigo as their own dress-up doll? Well, here she is dressed up as a pink porcupine. Too cute!
