Favorite books lately

This book was Beautiful!!!

Katarina read this book, she said she likes it because it's about the little princess. It was happy story, the little girl lived with grandma.

Julia has always loved this book. And I read it with her sometimes just to remind myself to be patient, let Julia do things in her own time.

I used to love this book when I was younger, and now my girls do too!

We thought this book was funny, Jules and me could really relate with this book. We both love to sleep in!

muffin tin monday swap

we participated in muffin tin monday swap.It was so much FUN! we had an awesome partner her name is deirdre or you might know her as "JDaniel4's Mom"

here is her wonderful blog about her adventures with her 2 year old son. in our swap package we got some silicone flower muffin cups, some teddy bear muffin cups. Julia thinks it is very funny to eat out of these which is awesome because she actually eats. We also got some really cute animal chopsticks which they have been having so much fun with. and also results in more eating from Julia which I am grateful for.

So thank you so much JDaniel4"s Mom!
