Literally.
After three and a half years of infertility treatments, countless doctor visits and being told that having another baby was near impossible we have overcome the odds. God was faithful to the promise that he would add to our family. Albeit, in his timing and not mine. But, his timing and plans are perfect so coming this May….we will be adding a new little Moore.
I have wanted to make an apron knot dress from the very first time that I saw one. They are all over Etsy and I never saw one that just fit the princess. I knew the fabrics had to be bright and captivating so I was thrilled when I ran across this etsy store and it was just enough of a bunch of the fabulous Heather Bailey Pop Garden fabric for me to mix and match and find my perfect knot dress combo. I was honestly thrilled with how it turned out. It was exactly how I pictured it. Except the princess hates it. She didn’t like the knots and said she preferred buttons and she didn’t like the apron because she thinks it looks like a bib and I quote, “I am not a baby!”
Nonetheless, bribery was in order and I did get a lovely picture in the dress that will most likely never be worn again. You win some and you lose some….maybe she will change her mind.
Over the weekend we got to spend some time with my brother and sister in law and their kids and we got to go shopping to a mall that has one of my favorite stores Pottery Barn Kids. Labor day weekend means extra sales and when I saw these clearance sheets I knew they would be perfect for pj’s. So, tonight I whipped up matching pajama bottoms for us. I made them extra loose and lounge worthy. Perfect for fall nights and sleeping in and snuggling on the couch.
In case I haven’t eluded to it enough, I love that little girl. She just makes life so much sweeter. I am so thankful that God chose me to be her mama.
Have you ever seen something so sweet as two cousins who fell asleep holding hands?
You may want to start saving your pennies now because I am pretty sure this masterpiece will be worth big bucks some day. The princess titled it Smiles (yes, she named herself) and painted it as a birthday present for her Opa. He is a lucky man to be the owner of such fine artwork.
