Girl Love!

You guys know about Abby's magic tutu, right?


She's getting to be known for this tutu, as she has worn it to every appointment since we went to CHOP (and we have had a LOT of appointments...12 since CHOP, to be exact!) and she proudly tells everyone that it is her magic tutu.  I've even written two stories about her magic tutu, which probably will never be heard by anyone outside of our family, but who knows?!  For now, the kids love them.

My sweet friend Danielle made Abby this tutu, and she has her own Etsy shop of cute little accessories for little girls.  She has 4 little girls of her own, so she knows a thing or two about what girls like!

Earlier this year, she made a beautiful mom's necklace for me, along with a little necklace for Abby and key chain for Caleb.  Abby also received an adorable full-piece Sophia-inspired tutu for Christmas from a family member, handmade by Danielle!



She has a new line of princess necklaces, and I bought Abby this cute little Tinkerbell necklace for Easter.  Isn't it fun?!  She will love it.

I also got Anna this Frozen-inspired necklace for her birthday (yes, her birthday isn't until August...I've got a lot going on between now and then...)  :)  "Let it Go" is often sung loudly in their house, so I figured this would be a hit.


Danielle has a lot of other cute stuff too, and her prices are very reasonable for handmade accessories!  You should definitely check her out at AAA Designs...and go "like" her on Facebook too!

Cerebrocostomandibular Syndrome

By
If you happen to pick up the latest Reader's Digest, there is an article in there about Piper Breinholt , a four year old with CCMS.  If you've been around here a while, you'll remember wayyyyyy back when we first received Abby's diagnosis that I was able to speak to Piper's mom, Reagan.  The article is more about their story and not as much about the ins and outs of CCMS, but I think it's probably enough to get some people googling it and I'm hoping a few will end up here. Every once in a while, I give a blog post the title of Cerebrocostomandibular Syndrome so that it would show up in Google.  My ever-present hope is that people will stumble across my blog and 1) be encouraged by the hope we have in Christ, 2) feel a connection with someone in a similar situation as them, or 3) get excited over the miracles that have been performed in Abby's life!!  (a combination of all 3 is great too!)  :)   Notice that it's not to get famous and it never wi

The Potty Man

By
Caleb LOVES to go potty! I have never heard a potty training story like this one....Caleb tells us when he needs to go, we take his diaper off, and he goes! Now, is it perfect? No, not at all! We aren't trying to potty train at at all, but we figure every time he goes is one less diaper we have to change! The only time we consistantly put him on the potty is when we give him a bath (he always pees in the tub, so we know he needs to go!) He almost always goes on the potty now instead of the tub though. When he's not "really" going potty, he's pretending to go potty! He's such a funny kid!

Lego Party: Favors

By
I'm a little slow in posting the Lego Party pictures, but I think I have a few excuses I could use.  At any rate, I wanted to share what I did for the party!  It will take a few posts, so stay with me.  I'll start with how I did the favors. These are the goody bags I made.  I just bought solid colored gift bags and matched scrapbook paper to each bag.  Then I punched circles and attached them with the 3D foam tape so that the circles were raised. I used the keychain (explained below) as a name tag on the outside. These are Duplo blocks.  I put a round magnet on the back and...voila!  A magnet!  (note:  hot glue doesn't work so well...I ended up reglueing them with my apoxy because the magnets fell off.) I made crayons using Lego man crayons.  Yes, I know this guy has lost half of his leg.  The others were already packaged and I didn't want to open one up just to get a picture.  I used a Lego mold  to make the crayons.  Caleb put small pieces of crayon in each m
