~ Capturing the context of contentment in everyday life ~ Every Thursday, at Like Mother, Like Daughter! {pretty} I posted yesterday about the dress I bought from eShakti. Here are pictures of it, pardon the wrinkles, I have not had a chance to iron it yet. Here is an up close of the embroidery. And the tag "custom"!...
I have been wanting to post about my new dress. I have been stalking eShakti.com for a few close to a year now, but did not make a purchase. First it was because I was pregnant with Benedict, then the sale of our house fell through, then we sold the house, but I was dealing with post-pregnancy body issues and...

It only lasted a few seconds, but it happened. I have also been watching him attempt to take steps on his own too. He is cruising the furniture like...

I posted about our 43 pound watermelon yesterday and was asked two questions. 1. Did it taste good?! 2. Where do you store 43 pounds of watermelon after it’s cut into?!!

No, really, I stepped on the scale with it and gained 43 pounds. Karol with the watermelon. It weighs just a little less than...
I have been trying to write a post for a few days, but really, my brain cells are shot from all the organizing I am doing, okay trying to do. So, here are some topics I have wanted to blog about but do not have the brain power to do a whole post on them. *Today I went to Valdosta to meet Joshua and take Karol to get...
