Pumpkin Patch Pretties

October 3, 2012 by Aliesha

We took our girls to the pumpkin patch over the weekend. The patch had the prettiest pumpkins!

Vera had such a great time running around and touching all the pumpkins.

The weather was lovely, so we enjoyed being outside!

Cordelia was happy as well and tasted a bit of grass (hehe).

I think she fit in quite well with the round pumpkins!

Vera ended up choosing a small pumpkin to take home.

I had a terrible time deciding what pumpkin I wanted! I ended up with two squatty ones (white and soft green).

I love making special memories like this!

They really do love each other!

Have you visited the pumpkin patch yet this year?

MiMi’s Soda Shoppe

October 1, 2012 by Aliesha

Those of you who have been reading my blog for a while “know” my mom already, but for those of you who aren’t acquainted with her, allow me to introduce “MiMi” (as she is known to my girls).

MiMi is a wonderfully talented, godly woman who is insanely creative and is the best gift-giver I know.

She has been using these talents for years to make customized name calligraphy plaques as gifts for new babies, weddings, and other special occasions.

Just last week, she finally opened her shoppe for business, and now is selling lovely customized name calligraphies (calligraphys?) to the public.

Here are a few of my favorite items in her shoppe:

All of the items are created especially for you, using the names you provide and the colors you select. MiMi is also willing to chat with you if you need further customization in addition to what she already offers.

Several of her items are currently on sale as she celebrates the grand opening of MiMi’s Soda Shoppe.

Please stop by her shoppe for a visit and add it to your favorites!

What’s your favorite item in her shoppe?

Gratitude Jar

September 13, 2012 by Aliesha

We recently started a family gratitude jar. Every day (or sometimes a couple of times throughout the day), Tad and I will write down on a piece of paper something that we are thankful for and place it in the jar.
