Adeline's Farm Adventure - Part 1 of 2

Over the weekend Adeline and I went to my parents house and farm to visit and see all the calves! Uncle Scott was very excited for Adeline to see one of the calves being bottle fed. The calves momma has Mastitis and thus unable to provide enough milk for the calf. In cows, once they get Mastitis it's over. Maybe if they had caught it early it would have been treatable, but the vet says she has probably had it for a couple YEARS! Ouch. Right now my dad has two cows with Mastitis, thankfully the other one is still producing enough milk for its calf. So off to the market for those two as soon as the calves are old enough.

Adeline was in awe of the cows, she barely said a word the whole time we were on the farm. She's met one of our horses before, Cash, but she was still very quiet. By the end she was finally saying "Moo" (see below video!).

Last week was The Great Cloth Diaper Change and I decided to make Adeline and I special shirts for the occassion! For myself I bought a plain Pink Tee and for Adeline I had some plain Onesies just waiting for some designs!

If you are interested in any custom shirts, send me an email!

I also found these really cool bins and thought they would be perfect to try out some new vinyl I got!

Interested in a customized bin? I have 1 more pink, 1 green, and two small metal bins - green and silver metal. Email me for a quote.

Hope everyone is having a great spring/summer/winter/summer/spring....

Mommy MD Guide Review

Recently I won a giveaway for my choice of a Mommy MD Guide. I chose the Toddler Years, since Adeline is past being a baby! She will always be my baby though!

I’m excited to get into this book. This book has over 900 tips from 62 doctors who are also mothers. The topics range from Growth & Development to Learning & Fun and everything in between! This is not your typical HELP!! Book, each chapter begins with a few words and suggestions then several doctors offer their advise and what worked for them and their children. It gives you a broad range of ideas and suggestions to choose from – not just 1 doctor telling you 1 thing to try (which isn’t always what they even do with their own kids).

 

Right now The Mommy MD Guides have 3 books.

                The Mommy MD Guide to Pregnancy and Birth

                The Mommy MD Guide to Your Baby’s First Year

                The Mommy MD Guide to the Toddler Years

 

Coming soon they will have:

The Mommy MD Guide to Feeding Your Baby Right

The Mommy MD Guide to Losing Weight and Feeling Great

PLUS more focused titles such as breastfeeding, diaper rash, potty training, and sleep.

 

While reading through the book I came across a doctor that is local to me in Roanoke, VA. Lennox McNeary, MD works at Carilion Clinic and is also the co-founder for the Mommy Doctors Bakery who makes the awesome Milkin’ Cookies!

Happy Easter!

We typically have Adeline's pictures taken at Portrait Innovations, but for Easter I wanted something different. Some photographers offer mini-sessions for Holidays so I put it out on Facebook to see who was still offering Easter sessions. My friend Amelia sent me the link to Stephanie Crawford's Facebook page - she was offering Easter Sessions! I loved her pictures on her page and a couple other friends also recommended her, so I made an appointment. I am glad I did. Her Spring/Easter pictures turned out wonderfully. I can't wait to get some printed and hung up in the house.

Here are a few of my favorites!

I highly recommend Stephanie for any photos! I hope to use her this summer for some family portraits outside!
