I am pretty much obsessed with clips of any kind. They are just about the only thing I can put in Ainsley's hair. I think around 18 months is when it started getting difficult to put headbands in her hair. Jerod would also tell me "Don't put headbands on her, I want people to see her red hair!" He is VERY proud of her red hair.... since she gets it from him of course! Clips can really add a ton to an outfit. I really love when clips are made with alligator clips. They are super ...

Gift ideas for an almost 2 year old
I cant believe that in 26 days I won't have a 1 year old anymore! Her precious life has flown by so quickly! She speaks in sentences and knows what she wants and doesn't want.

I pray that she would continue to grow up in a Godly home, that she would know Jesus at an early age ( she will tell you " I like church" and sing praise and ...
Butterflybabyorganics || review!
One of my current obsessions would have to be oils! I also am loving anything organic and all natural! Growing up I didn't use organic products or really know much about them. Once I had babies I researched them even more. After Oakland I started buying more organic food products and I even made his organic baby food in the blender! Oils started getting really popular in the past few years. I think I heard about them only last year. I recently saw someone post about ...
Being needed.
"Mom, look!" "Mom, come here!" "Mom, I need you!" I hear those phrases a million times a day. Do you?? If you're a mom then chances are you do. Sometimes though I don't want to hear those words.

There are times when my son says those words and I just cringe inside because I want to be left alone for 1 minute. Of course after I ...
