Liar, Liar! Pants on Fire!
Well, my little Laeli-bug is growing…as they all do, right?! I love and miss each stage as it comes and goes. We have entered a new stage with this little lady. While she might look like just a sweet, messy faced little girl singing a song here, she has also begun doing something fairly regularly…lying.
The Evolution of the Ferguson Sleepers
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how sleep in our house has changed in the last couple years. Of course, with kids I don’t get much sleep, but that will change soon enough. Those babies grow so fast. It’s not just the amount of sleep that I’ve been thinking about. It’s the way we sleep…as a […]
Ribbons and Yarn
Today my little Chloe stunned me with her creativity. She is always very creative. She is an excellent artist and is very imaginative. But today she came up with two craft ideas all by herself that were very good ideas! We finger knitted during our play time today. To help them remember how to do it, […]
Beach Babes
I have found myself longing for the outdoors more and more these days and have been taking the girls outside as much as possible. Today was the perfect day. The temperature was 76 degrees. A light breeze was tickling our skin. The bright blue sky was feathered with beautiful cirrus clouds and on the horizon […]
Willow’s New Do
Would you believe I’ve never cut Willow’s hair? I’m that mom. I just couldn’t part with it for a while because it was her baby hair. I just love how wispy it is. However, the wispy started looking stringy, so it was time. Time for a nice little bob.
Digging for Vegetables
Although it always seems like I’m working on a dozen things at once, I have a new project. This one is particularly special because Chloe has found a deep love for it as well. She has actually chosen our project over the playground on several occasions…which is a super big deal. On one side of our […]
A Day in the Life of the Ferguson Family
Each morning begins the same. I awake to a child “whispering” in my ear or to the wakeful sounds of a hungry Laelia. There are usually four people in our queen sized bed, but sometimes a fifth person sneaks in there too. Although it’s cramped and sometimes there is a complaint or two about who […]
Weeds and Seeds
In the last few weeks I have tried and tried to weed the garden, but with such an ambitious little 16 month old, it’s a little tough to pull more than one weed before chasing after Laelia to keep her from running into the road. But this morning, thanks to Scott being on vacation, I was […]
{Potty Parties} Babies on potties?? What??
In our family, we begin our children on the potty at birth. “What??” is the reaction I usually get to that information, unless the person has already heard of this concept (also called “elimination communication” or ECing and “infant potty training”). Did you know that we are among the few countries in the world that do […]
2011 {A Fabulous Year in Review}
There are a few hours left of this year. And what a year it’s been! I’m so grateful to be able to share my family and the fun things we enjoy doing with everyone. Thank you so much for reading our stories! I have received so much joy from my children. I have watched them […]
