florida decembers and some other stuff.

we live in a place where our winters usually consist of shorts and tank tops.

we do get a few weeks of cold weather (and by cold, i mean 50's)---and we definitely pull our winter coats out for that.

but here it is, the week before christmas, and the highs this week are in the 80's.

i do miss the snow that i experienced my whole life, growing up in kansas...but it's nice to be able to spend time outside...especially when your kids have been cooped up and you think you might go bald from pulling all your flippin' hair out if you stay inside for another minute.

so, anywho...we like to spend a lot of time outdoors during this nice weather (cause come summertime, we aren't setting foot outside).

 milo and his NASCAR hair-do.



even olive got in on the outdoor action.  just chillin' in her daddy's lap.

sister is so good...she sleeps all.the.time.

one might ask, "how can you sleep when there is SO MUCH CHAOS going on around you?"

who knows?  but she rocks it.

actually, she might have the right idea. 

 i'd love to sleep through some of the chaos.

we love the outside.

i wanted to introduce one of our new sponsors this month:

mavuno market.

i love what they are about, and i'm sure you will too...

Mavuno Market is combating poverty and changing lives by helping lift families out of poverty, one purchase at a time.

i was thrilled to receive a fun and funky bracelet from them.

i'm normally not a bracelet kind of person, because i have the worlds smallest wrists...but this one fits perfectly!

this bracelet was handmade by the apparent project artisans:

Apparent Project artisans hand roll paper beads out of cereal boxes, magazines and other paper products. These beads are combined with glass and ceramic beads to create unique pieces of jewelry.

The Apparent Project currently has over 150 Haitians making beads and designing their own jewelry. With their earnings, they have been able to move out of their tents into small houses. They have been able to provide food for their families, and schooling for their children.





fits perfectly!

and i love an accessory, especially for a good cause.

check mavuno market out!

olive turned 2 weeks old on monday...and she is gaining weight like a champ.

7lbs, 14oz at birth...and now she is weighing 9lbs, 4oz.

my little chunk.

mama must be making cream.

and it doesn't hurt that she loves to eat...she's a girl after my own heart.

okay, and one last thing...i need some suggestions on the name of my blog, now that i have 3 little ladies.

what do you think?

3 boys and 3 little ladies?

or should i change it completely?

give me your thoughts.
