I Had the Best Day With You Today

If only I could have written this song that is playing.
To my parents.
If only I was as talented as Taylor Swift.

But the words, even though they are from a child’s perspective, are truly what I feel on a daily basis.

I Had the Best Day With You Today……

There’s nothing better than a celebratory photo shoot while chomping on potty treats.

I am soaking in every minute with you little Gracie, before you, my baby, start your journey into school, next year.
And, by the way, I had the best day with you, today.

We {heart} Our Earth

Today is Earth Day.
We love us some Earth around here so I whipped

up these cute Earth cookies.

Yea right.

I did not make these.

I wish I did.

But, unfortunately, my spare time is sparse around here.

I am trying to get motivated to pack up the whole family

for another WEEKEND TRIP to watch my sister

Maggie hit a few more BOMBS against Purdue!

(Good thing my bag is still packed from our family trip

two weeks ago..... time saver. I am always thinking ahead.)

What we have decided to do today, however, is

go the extra step to REDUCE our waste.

(We already RECYCLE & REUSE

like it's our job on a daily basis!!)

As a result, it's a DIAPER FREE day for Gracie.
She is rocking it Nudie today.
(Except at nap time, of course, as the amount of laundry I would have to do
would waste too much water and totally defeat the purpose of reducing our diaper waste!!)

Today Gracie is "one with the Earth."
There may be a few accidents to wipe up.
But that's ok.
It's making me focus, yet again, on that special time in a Mommy's life....

Potty Training Time!
Gotta love it.

Gracie is only 22 months old
(but had her first potty success at age 16 months & loves it so far)
so my plan is for her to have a good grasp of the big girl
potty by the time she turns two. And then of course the Potty Fairy.....

but that's for another post!
Until then....

Happy Earth Day to all!
