Being 5.
She has got it down.
This week alone she started to ride her bike all by herself.

Skidamarink
I love you in the morning
& in the afternoon
I love you in the evening
and underneath the moon.
Skidamarink a dink a dink
Skidamarink a doo.
I love you.
Apologies for the preschool sing along,
but we do have a singing 4 year old in the house.
This tune so adequately describes my love for this little girl.
My Gigi.
I cannot believe she turns 8 tomorrow.
This girl made me a mom.
I know moms usually reserve this for the oldest of their children.
The child who they gave birth to first.
Well, obviously my situation is a little different in that my oldest three children
came into my life all on the same day.
This girl though.
This girl was placed in my lap 5 1/2 years ago.
She was the first of her siblings that I met, and lets say that smile melted my heart.
As a mother I have experienced love in a few different ways.
Some love is gradual, like how a book transforms into something you can't put down by chapter 3.
Gradual love is strong because it is something that blossoms and when you finally accept
each other you know it is forever.
Then there is the love that is instant.
Love at first sight.
Gigi had me at "hello."
Seriously, look at those cheeks.
You think her mouth would hurt from as much smiling as this girl does.
Gigi has always had her own sense of style.
She is all girl.
She prefers skirts over pants,
sparkle over anything "blah,
and she believes you can never have enough accessories.
Happy Birthday baby girl.
Keep smiling and being who you are.

2 Digit Birthday
She's 10 today.
I cannot believe it.
This little girl has matured into a beautiful young lady before my very eyes.
She is sweet and loving.
She is full of smiles or full of frowns... there is no in between.
The smile is infectious though.
She is a innocent girl who had to grow up really fast to take care of her brothers and sisters.
Her protection over them is fierce.
It took a long time for her to accept me as her mom.
We both had to learn how to be mom and daughter.
It was a tough road, but when the words "mommy" came out of her little mouth it was
not taken lightly. I cried tears of joy.
You are my Miss Independent, my "I can do it myself" child, but you can count on your mommy
always having your back and being there if you ever need me.
Sometimes I may scold you, some days I may get mad.
But no matter how I may act, I will NEVER stop loving you.
You are my princess.
Happy 10th Birthday Rosie Posie!!
I love you to the moon and back.
Love,
Mommy

Let's Go Glamping
Last weekend we celebrated Rosie's birthday with her friends.
This party was thrown together in 4 days because bad mommy, me, didn't look
at the calender and see we had no free weekend nights for a while.
Our daily calender is not for the faint of heart.
A free night with no place to be is something to be celebrated.
Our girl wanted a camping party.
I was happy to oblige. I love party planning.
With little time and wanting to keep this low budget we pulled our tent out, some
christmas lights, and a few glitter stars turning our living room into a camping dream.
I found another use for my gigantic chalk board.
I seriously love this thing.
We also put up a "No Boys Allowed" sign.
We hung the stars from the ceiling fan and waited for her friends to come.
Oh the excitement.
The squealing could be heard blocks away when the girls walked in the door.
The night was filled with games, crafts, and eating.
Instead of a cake, Rosie wanted smores.
They ended up making smores over sterno flame in the kitchen.
(supervised of course!)
There were a lot of burnt marshmallows because no one had the patience to
carefully cook their smore correctly, but they were shoved in their mouths with joy anyways.
To the end the night, they watched the best camping movie ever... Parent Trap.
There were lots of naps the next day.
But one little almost ten year old was full of smiles.
Friends, sugar, and laughter will do that.

Open for Business
I am spreading the cute dress love!
I started my very own Etsy store.
Literally there is no more room in my girls closets for any more dresses, so I am spreading the love.
The love of chevron, the love of everything Lalaloopsy, and love all things girly.
It's been a ton of fun creating the dresses for my store.
My store is called the Ruffled Orchid.
These girls are excited for mommy's latest adventure.
They have helped me pick out fabric, put away all my pins countless times, and smile big for photos.
Couldn't have done this without them.
{Coral and Teal Beach Dress}
{Going to the Circus Peasant Dress}
{Lalaloopsy Dress}
{Lalaloopsy Dress}
{Polka Dot Star Dress}
Cutest little flutter sleeves!!
I can't get enough of chevron!
{Chevron Pocket Dress}
Those are a few of the things you will find in my shop!
Take a peek and spread the word and if you have ideas on something else you would like to see in the store let me know. I love creating new things!!
