Morning, friends!
How about a little potpourri for this holiday weekend?
–>We should probably begin with a picture of Hazel.
She had some dental work done this week that required anesthesia and had Mommy and Daddy a little anxious. (She was just born only 2 1/2 years ago, you know?) But, her teefers are just fine now and so is she.
Possibly a little bossier. And she did throw a few wild punches in her first hours of recovery.
But all in all, she’s fine now! :)
–> Have you read “the talk” this mom gives her son every year when he goes “back to school”?
–> Are any of y’all going to the Influence Conference in October? If so, tell me! I want to be able to look for you there! (Also, there’s going to be a cool link-up/blog-hop here on Tuesday, so look for that next week.)
I’m planning to attend as a community leader with some ridiculously amazing ladies. But I’m seriously nervous and I know I’ll get more nervous as the date approaches. And excited. Definitely excited. I want you to come!!
–> Have I mentioned that Beatrice started Kindergarten this year, too? And furthermore, that I would like to have the style of my 5-year-old niece?
What’s that? You need an accompanying animated .gif for a visual?
No problem. Animated .gifs just happen to be a specialty of mine!
Should we do animation tutorial sometime? Would y’all like that?
–> Do any of y’all have a thing for Matilda Jane like I do? I’m having a trunk show at my house next week for my Franklin/Nashville girlfriends and their daughters. The Trunk Keeper said I could open it up to my bloggy mamas if any of you are interested!
–> I’m working on a couple of really fun little projects (and one kinda awesome project) with The Land of Nod right now, including finishing Hazel’s closet with their canvas storage collection. (Seriously, it feels so good to bust out the ol’ drafting tools and really think through over-think a fun project.) I’m also sharing my Taco Soup recipe on their blog today!
–> My friend Kacia made Oliver these killer tags for his backpack and lunchbox. That’s his handwritten name. In leather. And in wood. She has magic, y’all.
I think that’s all! Is your head spinning?
Let me know if you need help with the Matilda Jane stuff or if you have any questions about the Influence Conference.
And have a great long weekend! (what are y’all doing?)
Ahhhh! I Love everything about this post!! :) and guess what??? There is a trunk keeper who lives about 10 minutes from me!!! WOO HOO!!!
xoxox you’re my favorite.
this post is awesome! lots of good stuff all-in-one! awesomest name tag for the backpack ever! and praise God all went well with the surgery! God is good! her room is going to be very cool if it isn’t already!
Ohhhh, I love Hazel!! How perfect does her sweet little smile look?? Also I’m glad you’re nervous about Influence, bc I’m way nervous, and the fact that my plane ticket is non refundable might be the only thing keeping me signed up at this point! Also, you should bring those peanut butter bars in your suitcase, because nothing eases nerves more than calories. Unless that’s just me….
Love Hazel and her new teefers! So glad it went well… I would have been a mess. So sad about not being able to go to Influence, but let’s not talk about that. Wish I could come to the Matilda Jane trunk show! I think my girl needs one of those pretties, and I’m sure she would agree :)
Ahh…both of my kids had to have dental work done when they were 5 and I was a WRECK! The anesthesia part was THE WORST!:/ Mine got jabbed in the behind and I sobbed…*sigh* It makes me want to cry again just tinking about it!:( Didn’t Oliver have something done around this same age too? So happy she’s all good now! Bea is beautiful…not surprising!;) Have a great weekend!
i’m so glad your wee one is doing well, and that the dental procedure went off without a hitch. i hope y’all have the bestest longish weekend.
Recipe!! for those awesome brownies. PLEASE!!!!!
Perfect closet design! I had to visit your blog after seeing this on Land Of Nod website. Can you tell how you did the shelving? I need this kind of organization for my daughter’s closet!
Hi Jennifer! Welcome to my little corner of the internet :)
The shelving is just standard, hardware store shelving that was actually in there when we moved in. I’m pretty sure you could find it in the closet organization section of any Home Depot or Lowe’s!
