Favorites Lately
This was supposed to be Friday’s post, Friday’s Favorites, but now it’s just Favorites Lately. I haven’t gotten as much time lately to sit and write with baseball, ballet, school, babies, and all the other stuff that comes with life, but I’ll take what little time I get these days. So here I am at 10pm with my cup of sleepytime tea. I think I might just add this moment to my list. Other than right now, here’s some of my favorites lately:
Baseball games. This is a double edged sword, an exciting and nail biting new venture that the boys are loving. But on the other side, its caused many a late night and every game is potential for me to make a fool of myself with my guttural sounds and fist biting. “Just let his coach tell him, Alicia.” says Jarrod out of the corner of his mouth.
Ya. Right.

The little uniforms and the “Let’s GO, Ja-ack, let’s GO!!” with clapping is too much fun. And I’m working on a balance of encouragement/cheering/gently correcting/and not falling off the bleachers with mad-crazy-mama cheering. This is a difficult balance, folks. But I did notice, that even with the older boys…every single time, those boys looked over at the bleachers to their mamas. “Did she see me?? Did she see?” Oh yes, baby. We saw. And we’re so freakin’ proud.

She wanted to make sure this was going to make the blog. She was so proud, she wanted everyone to see 🙂

Spring sewing. I got all the boys’ shorts out last week, but Sophie had not one pair that still fit her. I need to buy a few more pair, but I also had a major itch to start sewing again. Its been too long! I sewed up four pair for her and two for Vera and also a couple of skirts for Sophie. These all turned out so cute, I’ll have to post them in a fashion show format for y’all. Super simple sewing is my favorite. Little effort with a lot of payoff.
Oh goodness, what a cute little quilt…your sewing looks pretty great too 🙂
I LOVE your list hon!!
And Sophie- that mini sweet quilt was MORE than blog worthy!!
Seriously cute shorts…those buttons!!
AND there is NOTHING like Vera's baby clapping is there- sooo proud of themselves whilst clutching that plant and covered in dirt clapping wildly!!
Emailing you now!

Can't believe she's sewing. That right there is amazing! I can seriously see your face as you tried your coffee. I'm sure anger never occurred to you. You're such a good momma. And that farm… Sigh. Someday right?!?
Excellent sewing Sophia, that's a very cute doll quilt 🙂
Tell Sophie her quilt looks great! And those shorts are SO CUTE! You should totally sell those in your shop. I would buy some 🙂 Or sell the pattern 🙂
