 top: Motherhood PostPartum, Jeans: F21, sandals: Target, necklace: c/o Choies  A few weeks back -on a day that wasn’t my best, Hazel and I were walking the mall because it was all I could do to keep her to stop fussing. We were walking the mall and minding our own business, seeing the dogs, watching all the people -you know, normal people watching mall walker stuff. When an elderly gentleman stopped me… “Can you do me a favor?” He asked excitedly. “Sure!” I somewhat hesitantly responded. “Use this money to buy your baby something nice.”… Read More

today at church she was practically perfect

Some Sundays I feel like I’m just going through the motions. I know I should go to church, and I hope to be able to gain just a bit of something from each lesson, but sometimes it’s a hopeless cause. Sweet Hazel is really good at distracting me. And I’m not blaming her because she’s a baby and has no idea what she is doing, really, she doesn’t. But it’s hard to pay attention. Also, is it just me or does everyone else get anxious when it’s quiet during the lesson? I go into I’ll-do-anything-to-keep-you-quiet… Read More
