It is my daughters job to take something from one room and put it into another room, then repeat 100 x’s throughout the day until the entire house is misplaced.
It is my hubby’s job (when asked to help) to put everything in one big pile and stuff it anywhere he can find.
This goes on day after day until everything is so misplaced that I can’t find anything.
It is my job to put everything back in it’s rightful place. That is what I did all day yesterday. I tried to put everything that had little parts back in its place so that it could STAY together and I could actually find things.
I can’t do it anymore though. This weekend I am going to this store and buying a ton of clear plastic storage containers in all different sizes. Then I am going to put all of DD’s toys in those containers. I am going to organize all the containers on the top of her closet and then get down ONE thing at a time for her to play with. That way I do not have an entire house with toys scattered everywhere.

Have you ever been to DLTK KIDS? I had been going to this site long before I became a mother. It was always so helpful when I needed craft ideas to do with the kids at work. Now that Eva is getting older I still love going here to print up alphabet coloring pages or different crafts I can do with her.
I added the link to my sidebar. If you have never been you need to check it out!

Daisies have always been my favorite flower. Just thinking about them makes me smile. I love their simple beauty. They are not extravagant or rich in color. They are not a rare flower, in fact they are a wild flower, abundantly available any where it is warm. I think it is their wild nature that I am most attracted to. Did you know they are actually considered a weed?
I wonder if my love of daisies says anything about me as a parent? Maybe our parenting styles are all linked to our flower preference? Then again, probably not. I mean, not unless daisies can be linked to impatience.

Sorry for the break in programing. But I have nothing, nothing, not a thing. If anyone has any suggestions for something I could blog about please leave your suggestions here. Maybe something about me that you would like to know. Something you would like me to STOP blogging about? Or a direction you would like to see my blog go into? Yes I am shamelessly asking you, the reader, to do the hard work for me. Because for some reason I just have NOTHING right now.

There is this picture above my desk of DH and little E I just love looking at. To me it shows what a special relationship they have.  Of course I already loved him before E came along but seeing the way he is with our daughter has made me fall in love with him in a way I had never known before.

They have this special relationship.  Can you just see it in this picture?

The way her little hand is wrapped around his thumb.  The look of peace and content on her face.

I know I am in big trouble as she gets older, or actually he is in big trouble!  Honestly though nothing brings me greater joy than seeing those two together.  Even when she prefers him over me or runs to him crying in her dramatic way when I have dared tell her no.  Still I just stop and smile at the love they have for each other.  He is completely taken with her and her with him.

I hope that she always knows the love of her father in this way.  And that she measures all other relatioships by if they treat her half as good as her father does.  If she does I can tell you any boy who wants to date her will have some big shoes to fill!
