thank you soph {from babes & sages}

i got the most beautiful package last week which included the most well-wrote letter and handmade necklace from my good friend, sophie who runs the blog & shop babes & sages. i just had to share with everyone how beautiful creation she put time and effort into making for me in memory of our little baby angel and the symbolism of no 2. it's the people you surround yourself with that is so important and i couldn't be any more grateful that i walked into that art history class 4 years ago and met this remarkable woman. thank you soph.

{christmas decor: part 1} madison's tree

thanks to sister for the idea & bff michelle for giving us a tree to use. we put a tree up in mad's room and she loves it. it's been a great addition to the holidays and i think we may make it a tradition from now on. we bought a bunch of wooden ornaments from joann's and painted them together <3 mommy made one for the baby who is no longer with us. madison made a princess, snowman, bird, raindeer, etc. it was a really fun memory that i hope to do every year--or at least until she is a teenager and would rather be with her friends. i am not looking forward to that. more of our christmas decor coming--enjoy madison's very own tree in her room. 

am i crazy?

am i crazy? for wanting to do this all over again. i love being this little girl's mommy so much that i cannot wait to do it again. the 2 am feedings, the burping, the diaper changing, and even the lack of sleep. yes, i am crazy-- i can't wait! 2 weeks from now we would have known if baby was a boy or girl, which is pretty insane. we will do it again, someday <3 i love you peanut!
