a cup full of sunshine: Birthday Girls

http://acupfullofsunshine.blogspot.com/2015/05/birthday-girls.html

A cup full of sunshine. Last month was Margaret's first birthday and yesterday was Marianne's 4th! Both these girls are such joyous little ladies and bring smiles to us all daily. Yesterday when Marianne woke up she asked if she was really 4 years old now. She just couldn't believe it :). Maggie's birth was a breeze compared to Marianne's! If you're interested in reading a bit about their births, you can find them here. Labels: baby and children. May 14, 2015 at 10:23 AM. May 15, 2015 at 8:52 AM. Jun 201...

a cup full of sunshine: The Wild Three

http://acupfullofsunshine.blogspot.com/2015/04/the-wild-three.html

A cup full of sunshine. Last week I spent a couple afternoons finding new items for my shop with these three in tow. I often wonder what I look like to the casual observer. Do I look like the exhausted mother trying reign everyone in? Do I look like the calm and collected mom with obedient children nicely following along? I know I've been both but last week I felt like the former. Were the kids well behaved? Come check out some of the new listings here. Labels: baby and children. They are all so big now!

a cup full of sunshine: Play Time

http://acupfullofsunshine.blogspot.com/2015/04/play-time.html

A cup full of sunshine. He has never been interested in imaginative play and still isn't. It just goes to show that that's how he's hardwired and it appears that I can't do much to change it. Actually, I don't try to change him but I have searched for things to do indoors that will hold his attention. She also loves playing with Alex's old dollhouse. I'm curious about Maggie. Right now she reminds me of how Max was at her age.a little ball of destruction. What do your kids like playing with? Both prefer ...

a cup full of sunshine: New Macrame

http://acupfullofsunshine.blogspot.com/2015/04/new-macrame.html

A cup full of sunshine. Today I'm sharing some pieces I've recently made. The first one is a fiber art sculpture. I finished it last week and it is currently for sale in my shop. Next up is a plant hanger with handmade terra cotta beads. I'm really enjoying making my own beads, it adds an extra uniqueness to my pieces and that pleases me greatly! This next one already sold but I'm sharing it anyway. That's all for now! April 17, 2015 at 5:49 PM. April 20, 2015 at 11:00 AM. May 4, 2015 at 12:25 AM. We app...

a cup full of sunshine: baby Marianne

http://acupfullofsunshine.blogspot.com/2011/05/baby-marianne.html

A cup full of sunshine. There is power that comes to women when they give birth. They don't ask for it, it simply invades them. Accumulates like clouds on the horizon and passes through, carrying the child with it.". I wish every woman could experience a natural birth, pain and all. There's something about the whole event that, it seems to me, if you remove a component from it (like pain and discomfort) you're taking away an important piece to the puzzle. On Thursday, around 7 pm, my midwife Janna came o...

a cup full of sunshine: One

http://acupfullofsunshine.blogspot.com/2015/04/one.html

A cup full of sunshine. Our sweet pea is one! Maggie has been such a joy to all of us. She is walking now and more curious than ever. She is like a little tornado that moves through the house making messes wherever she goes. She is observant, likes to dance and loves bananas. I wanted to make a raw cheesecake for her but the kids quickly vetoed that idea. Instead I made a sugary, gluten filled cake that turned out to be very yummy. Happy Birthday Maggie Mae!

A cup full of sunshine. Wax Paper Pressed Flowers. Today I pressed/ironed some flowers between wax paper. I remember doing this as a kid and I was just as fascinated by the results as an adult as I remember being as a child. May 8, 2015 at 9:07 AM. Oooh, really cool 3. May 8, 2015 at 9:32 PM. I have pressed them in paper, but never thought to try waxed paper. 3. May 13, 2015 at 4:33 AM. How do we forget about these magical things? I cant wait to do this with my boys, thanks Anne!

a cup full of sunshine: Settling In

http://acupfullofsunshine.blogspot.com/2014/04/settling-in.html

A cup full of sunshine. The birth went really well! When my moment of desperately wanting relief came, he was there to encourage me on. I'm SO thankful for his help in moving forward from that place of mental anguish because once I did, things moved very quickly. The last 6 months have been really hard because I couldn't exercise at all. I got winded just walking up the stairs. Needless to say, I've never been more excited to exercise in my life!
