A Ponytail!

Can you believe it? I was SHOCKED! I was messing around with Giuliana this morning and thought for sure her hair would not go up into a pony. I am glad to say I was WRONG!!




I took her to go get her hair cut this morning, and I got mine cut as well. I am glad we had some McDonalds to keep her busy while It was my turn to get my hair cut.




We didn't do much else today, kind of a lazy day. But it was a nice one. We did some playing and some singing.



We also went through 2 outfits today, and 2 pairs of PJs lol.

Denise was kind enough to feature Giuliana's picture on it last night. The picture of her that she posted is down below and one of my all time fave art fair pieces!

Have a great Friday everyone!

Smiles @ 6:30 am

This little girl is just as happy as she can be at 6:30am when I wake her up and get her ready for school. I love that! I am not a morning person by nature but over the past few years I have learned that it starts the day off better if you are smiling and being kind to people in the morning. So, I have adopted that. Here are 2 of Giuliana this morning. Nothing fancy, but look at her excitement. I love it!




Shes so cute. I am one proud Momma that's for sure!!

It was a GOOD mail day :)

Know why? Because my 1st box came from the show I did on the 1st. Matilda Jane, of course. As if I would buy anything else?!?! I know, I know, I should really branch out, but I just really love the stuff and Giuliana seems to as well. I love all of the stuff we got, but then again, I knew I would. I don't think I'll be exchanging anything except the 1 pair of ruffles, if I can get a pair of 18s that is. The 2s seem to be running a tad long. There were more clothes, but we'll have to save them for another day because she was done. Ah well, without further delay, here are the pictures her highness was kind enough to let me snap..



Doesn't she look cute here? I love this outfit and it was totally on accident. I would have never thought to put these 2 together, but it works!


Can we all please take a moment to notice the PHONES on this dress :D I wonder why I got her this dress hahah!

Sunday Afternoon Ice Cream

Before Giuliana laid down for her nap this afternoon she was requesting that we go for Ice Cream- really she was requesting I TAKE her for ice cream, but whatever. I told her we would go after she took her nap. She promptly said "No, no nite nite me" but with in 5 minutes she was asleep in the backseat of the car. So we came home and I laid her down, and she slept for 4 hrs. But remember, she wasn't tired. HAH! Yeah right. When she got up, I stayed true to my promise, even though she had forgotten it all together. I got her dressed in one of my fave play dresses I picked up from target and I added the perfect accessory.. a bow from Aunt Carol!! I love that she makes bows for Giuliana, and they are always so well made.



At this point she decided it was to much work to use the spoon so she decided she would just bite into it.. but then she hurt her teeth with the cold..so she went back to the spoon.. thank goodness!!




Needless to say, it looks like she enjoyed her cotton candy flavored ice cream :)

Peace & Quiet

It's what I have had a lot of the past week. With Clara passing Chuck and Darlene were away with the rest of the family in Ohio getting all of her arrangements together and burying her next to her husband, John, who passed before her. I was able to stay at their house, and tend to Mr. Khat while they were gone. Yesterday morning before the neighborhood awoke I took Giuliana outside to take some pictures. I need more practice with my camera, and I don't like a lot of people watching me all the time :D

Anyhow, these were the best ones I got.

I really like this peasant top and it looks cute with these pants- but I liked the peasant more underneath the knot dress, so I think that's prob how she will wear it most of the time.


She wanted to smell the flowers, and then she turned around and next thing I knew she had ..


picked me a flower !! She was so cute she told me " I pick flowers Momma, I love you much" It was cute. I almost fell over laughing.


I taught her how to say "Spin Spin Sugar" while she twirls and that's what she was doing here.


And last but not least, even though shes not looking, it's my fave. The lighting and everything.. I don't know, she looks like an Angel to me.

A Little Matilda Jane Love!

I got a small box in the mail today, and Giuliana let me try on a few little goodies, but not much. I was also running out of light, and these are unedited because I'm on my lap top... But anyway, just something to post...




The pants I already had, but I hadn't been able to find the right color "white" to go with them, so they have sat in the closet for a few months. I am glad to say we have a shirt to match that is the right color off white :D





These are both new, and I hadn't planned on having her wear them together, but It was the easiest way to check the fit and so I put them on together haha :)

By the way, if you are wondering what she is looking at, and freaking out about , it's the squirrels up in the trees behind me!
