{chuck norris}

need i say more. this is maddie's birthday present from her uncle jamie.

{she is one}

maddie turned one on november 9th. she had her first magnolia cupcake which she was indifferent about. the color of the day was pink and her dress was the same dress i wore on my first birthday, april 3rd, 1975.

the most exciting gift was a pair of skis. look for photos of maddie skiing the fresh powder soon!

to see a slide show from the party click HERE.


this dress is 33 years old.

the coasters were letter pressed by alli at bird dog press.

trying to blow out the candle and trying not to catch my bangs on fire.

Less is More

Your children do not need more.

Each day adds more facts,

more gadgets, more activities, more desires, and more confusion to their lives.

Your task is to subtract.

Each day seek to remove, to clarify, to simplify.

Society’s wisdom adds, and confusion grows.

If each day one minute less was spent doing something. And one minute more was spend being present,

in simple pleasures with your children.

In two months you would transform your life and theirs.

One minute less.
