nakie baby.


a sweet friend of mine from CBS
was getting her credentials in massage for kiddos.
and she was kind enough to bless us with her five week class. 

(i absolutely adore this shot)


you could say that now i am an expert.
well, L thinks so, at least.


he has been sleeping so much better with a bath 
followed by a massage.
i just think he is trying to be
as high maintenance and time consuming as possible. 
congratulations, L. 
you are succeeding.


so, we (i.e. i) are now starting our 
night-time routine promptly at 4:15pm.
yes, that is in 4:15 in the afternoon.
it’s wild.
but it works.
and we all know us moms will do anything that works. 


as you can see, 
my delicious baby just adores to be in his diap (or nakie)
and have some mommy and L time.

picture me {im}perfectly.the want

do you ever get sucked into
the mindset that if you just had
this or that
that life would be so much better?


whether it be for L to develop more quickly 
or for my life to become more efficient, 
i feel like i am always looking for the next thing.
the next system.
the next product.
the next solution.
the next answer.


when all i need to look at is Jesus. 
Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, 
the author and perfecter of our faith, 
who for the joy set before him 
endured the cross, scorning its shame, 
and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
Hebrews 12:2

p.s. you’re right, 
these photos had absolutely nothing to do with this post. 
they were from a disco party the bigs and i had.

and a special shout out to Ann 
[IMG_2011.jpg]
who linked up last week.
and boy, can i relate to her post. 

picture me {im}perfectly
is a weekly project to reveal that we don’t have it all together.

i will post a 
picture me {im}perfectly
blog post every wednesday 
where you will be able to link up to your blog
revealing that:

you are not picture perfect,
your kids are not picture perfect,
your house is not picture perfect,
your crafts are not always picture perfect,

let’s 
encourage, 
inspire and 
remind 
other women 
that none of us have it all together.  

add my button to your blog post
and link up to your direct posting
and feel encouraged.

beat the clock.

back in the good old days,
B and i used to watch letterman.
and “beat the clock” was my favorite game.

well nowadays,
i am really lucky
because i get to play beat the clock
each and every day!

why am i moving at
this breakneck pace
all the live long day?

to beat the clock.
that’s why.



but then i’d miss out on little moments like these.

946. not beating the clock
947. the patience of others while i 
scheduled and rescheduled
948. the truth told in this book
949. stories read to the kids 
in the middle of the day by B
950. drying something on our line out back

tea time.

K and i got to go to a girls-only tea party this past weekend.
on the way there i told K that this was her very first real tea party.
she let me know that she doesn’t like tea.



it was hosted by lovely Mrs. H and her sweet little girl.
(K has recently named this doll-house-mommy,
Mrs. H because of her resemblance to the real one.)




we got all dolled up with our matching dresses.
(you know that i would not miss out on an opportunity to wear matching dresses.)




although, i hadn’t worn this dress since last Easter when i was still nursing L.
it didn’t quite fit as well as it did when some of my parts were bigger.
(dad, i’m sorry that was tmi.)



a sweet story was read,


and delicious tea, lemonade and goodies were eaten.


the tea party concluded with what always concludes tea time…
princess dress-up time.

a sweet little someone.

we had yet another playdate with our


L was absolutely enthralled by the cutest little girl in purple glasses.
but she wasn’t so certain that she liked being touched by him.
she even shared a stern “no!” with him a few times.
which of course i completely gobbled up
because her speech is incredible.
and, the kiddos share the same speech therapist,
who is so unbelievably awesome.
so, it makes me excited.
thrilled, to be honest.

936. sweet, sweet friends
937. our speech therapist
938. uber great parking spots
939. laundry that is folded and waiting to be put away
940. cookies galore
