My baby was bursting with smiles this morning……and I snagged this gorgeous little dress and crochet waistcoat. I’m sure there’s a specific name for that gorgeous bluey-lavender and that type of crochet. Forgive me but I don’t care. They are both so pretty and make me happy and that’s all that counts. I’m on a high this week!
The first child who stole my heart, my beautiful and fascinating godson turns five this week. We threw him a pirate-themed birthday party last night- or should i say, my sister threw him one because she literally did everything. From the face painting to the flags and even the treasure chest cake, she pulled off a really great party. Makes me so excited about all the birthdays I will get to celebrate with my little dude. Happy Birthday Angelo. Love nouna.x
The fact that June Carter found the courage to divorce in 1956 speaks volumes to me. Can you imagine what that must’ve been like? This is 2012 and where I come from, divorce is still a taboo! I had heard of June Carter before watching Walk The Line but it was during that first viewing of one of my now all-time favorite movies that it hit me. What a talent, yes …but what a personality! What a character! I fell in love with her strength and the way she stood by her man through gut-wrenching times. Times you hope you never have to encounter. It is safe to say that a lot of Johnny Cash would not be had June not taken on the role of his guardian angel. In my eyes, she was a pioneer, a person who spoke the truth and did what felt right for her and her children. She never lost focus. I admire that in a person very much.
These links caught my eye. I thought they would make for a great upcoming holiday online gorge session i have planned for when I’m lounging on the beach or by the pool.
I loved this. Best book closing lines.
Things aren’t well on Planet Earth. We know that. Doesn’t hurt to be reminded though.
I wasn’t too keen on the idea of taking Georgie to a waterpark- a wild toddler amongst swimming pools is what I call NERVE-WRACKING!-but I am so glad we did. It’s a new family ‘tradition’ we have had every summer for the past six years-maybe even more and this was our first time as parents -last year at only five months old, Georgie stayed home. It was also the first time Georgie felt the flutter of jumping into a swimming pool. He kicked his legs and stretched his little arms. These moments…
