* Sweet Lia, who is 2 months old, today!

 

* Moonlight Time

I pinch myself every time I remember that someone gave us this incredible clock to celebrate Lia’s birth.

I checked out the Moonlight and Roses website and fell in absolute love. If you’ll be receiving a shower, baby, or birthday present from me in the near future, prepare yourself to receive one of these clocks (probably even instead of Olivia).

 

*Skin-Care Products to go “goo-goo” over

Baby acne got ya down?

There’s nothing quite like the vanity that rises up in a mother when she takes her baby out at one-month of age and the poor baby is oozing momma’s hormones, trying desperately to get some of her own. (The vanity’s not a bad thing, ya know. It’s purely a proud momma wanting the world to notice her beautiful flawless baby just as she sees her.) When I began applying a dab of Aveeno Baby to her face a couple times a day, her skin cleared up within two days. Spread the good word!

 

*How I feel about our babies

i carry your heart with me

i carry your heart with me(i carry it in
my heart)i am never without it(anywhere
i go you go,my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing,my darling)
i fear
no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want
no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)
and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that’s keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)
