Boys are vampires!

...or so said my child.
(edited from yesterday as I just put a piece in but then realized the whole story made more sense)

M:  Momma! Did you know boys are vampires?
Me: Really?
M: Hahaha! Not really, momma, just on the playground.  We play that the boys are vampires and they chase us girls.  Except for one boy and he saves the girls.  Today that was J. I like J.  He's nice and he saved me.
Me: *insert a little talk about how girls don't have to have boys to save them and how she is a strong and smart person all on her own*
M: Oh, I know that, Momma!  But he really wanted to save us and I didn't want to hurt his feelings so I let him.

So Delicious Ice Cream

Orange Show and Tell!

**********************************************

Mia and I finally found some ice cream in town that she can eat!!!  Our favorite grocery store carries coconut  milk yogurt but not the ice cream so we decided to check Wal-Mart and they had it!  

Definitely made for one happy little girl!!!

**********************************************

Ben is back from San Diego.  He sent us some lovely pics and brought Mia back some sea shells.  His trip went great up until he missed his flight out of Dallas.  That airport is a monster to get thru.  

**********************************************

I got a TON of sewing done for Mia while he was away.  The fall dress with the brown bodice is my absolute favorite.  She's also covered for all the color specific days at school for this month except for one.  

Can't get enough of new...

Ha!  Actually, I'm not gonna lie, I can definitely get enough of it.  But it's all good.  Ben is off to San Diego for work.  Business trips have always been stressful to me but especially this time.  New place, new town, new people, far from family.  You don't realize just how much comfort can be derived from something as simple as the normal creaks of your house until it's gone.  I'm a big girl tho.  Mia and I are going to have a blast.  I'm burying my anxiety in productivity.  Just today I've put up what feels like a thousand new listings in my etsy shop.  All in all I am super thankful for Ben's job and his opportunity to visit somewhere he's never been before.  And for the girl time with Mia which I guarantee you will be filled with coloring, girly movies (albeit disneys) and simple food (tonight we had fishsticks LOL).  Life is good.  I do my best to never forget that.

Orange Day

Mia was a bit camera shy this morning.  I can't really blame her tho - it was still rather dark and uber foggy - aka perfect weather to be asleep in.  

Ben went and had lunch with Mia today and her teacher told him that she couldn't wait to see what Mia would be wearing each day and loved that Mia bragged that her "mommy made it".  #heartmelting
