My Life and How It's Going: little black dress tradition
http://melner.blogspot.com/2015/05/little-black-dress-tradition.html
My Life and How It's Going. Wednesday, May 20, 2015. Little black dress tradition. When I was pregnant with Hayden, I read an article in a magazine that depicted a family’s tradition with their daughter. Beginning with her first birthday, they dressed her in her grandmother’s vintage bathing suit and took a picture. They did this every year as they watched their baby daughter grow from a toddler, to a child, to a young woman. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Fayetteville, Arkansas, United States.

My Life and How It's Going. Monday, August 31, 2015. Slide the city - slip-and-slide on dickson street. Yesterday, we slid the city as we rode the 1,000-foot-long e down Dickson Street. Came to Fayetteville and set up the slide, and the community came out to play. It was a fun, unique day and from what I understand, they plan on returning next year. Assuming that's the case, we will definitely be sliding the city again! Part of the proceeds benefit Soldier On Service Dogs. Wednesday, August 26, 2015.

My Life and How It's Going. Monday, April 28, 2014. Harper and her home/cozy spot. Harper has been constructing homes - which she also refers to as cozy spots. She brings together many objects, pillows, and toys and creates these special areas that she finds comforting. As she builds these spaces, she tells me, "I'm working" and "I need to work.". If things get out of place, she gets very frustrated and has to fix them. She is quite particular about her homes and takes great pride and joy in them. Hayden...

My Life and How It's Going. Sunday, July 20, 2014. Belated wedding anniversary celebration - better late than never. Randy and I's 11th Wedding Anniversary was last month - June 13th. We were busy on that day so we didn't really celebrate the occasion. We are pretty much always busy. That being said, it was important to me that we go out to dinner at some point to acknowledge and commemorate our anniversary. Last night - over a month after our actual anniversary - we were finally able to do that. He adds...

My Life and How It's Going. Wednesday, August 27, 2014. Harper's first day of school. Harper went back to school today - entering the Younger 3s Classroom. She goes to First School. From 8am until noon on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Just enough time to give her some quality playtime with her friends and learning time with her teachers while also enabling me to get some MUCH needed alone time. Suffice it to say, Miss Harper Grace had a fantastic first day of school. Labels: first day of school.

My Life and How It's Going. Friday, May 29, 2015. Memorial day weekend at the lake. We spent this past weekend at the lake with my parents as well as my sister and her family. Despite the rainy conditions, we had a good time. When it wasn't raining, the kids enjoying "swimming" in the hot tub. Harper spent some time relaxing on the couch with Izzy (my parents' shih-tzu). Sephora (my parents' cat) played in and with Hayden's tent. She found it to be a very enjoyable cat toy! Wednesday, May 20, 2015. When ...

A family of five . . . minus one. Posted by Mandi Cofer. 8220;Grief doesn’t change you . . . it reveals you.”. The Fault in Our Stars. Since the loss of Knox, I truly believed grief changed people. When I began grieving, I didn’t feel like myself. And the longer I grieved, the more certain I was the old me was long gone, never to return. But when a dear friend sent me this John Green quote, I have to say that, surprisingly, I agreed: grief reveals you. First, my husband and I sold our house, the one that...
