Crochet Crown.

Taking a little break and putting up a little post.  

You guys, my brain hurts.  I mean it.  It might explode.  Maybe I'm being a little dramatic.  But if you happen to see me in the next few weeks and I seem like I'm on another planet, I apologize.  Full brain syndrome?

And, segway.  Brain...head...crown...baby crown...cute for Eloise's first birthday (a long way away :)?  Is this not the sweetest?

How are you guys doing?  Can you tell me so I feel connected?  I'd love to hear.  :)

  1. Hi! You just posted this! As far as what's going on with us... Elias has decided he doesn't like sleep anymore. So that's sucked. He was up thrice last night and that was after he took an hour to go to sleep, then got up an hour later and was up for two more hours. :-/ But he's in his crib and out of his co-sleeper for the first time tonight. Such a big boy. (FYI: other items on his dislike list-- getting his diaper/shirt/anything changed, playing alone, riding in the car...did I mention sleep??)

  2. So glad to read your post and that you are getting a break from your school brain! And yes... that baby crown IS the sweetest. I want one for my next birthday too. As for the Reedys: ready for some down time after a couple crazy weeks. I hope you get a little down time with your hubby this weekend--especially Father's Day!

  3. I'm sending you extra brain cells, to help with the recent overload. ;) We're doing good, we actually had a big day today, Jonah rolled over for the first time! He's also VERY close to laughing. It's strange actually, he smiles ALL the time, and they're so big I think there must be a laugh in there trying to squeak it's way out. I keep asking him "Is your face on mute somehow? Is there a volume button I need to find? " But he just smiles back, sans laugh. Little stinker.... ;)
    Hope school is going well and I hope you're snuggling with your girl as much as you can! Much love, Katie

  4. Hi Colleeny!

    You can do it! You can do it! I'm sorry your brain hurts- I can only imagine. I took a too advanced physics class in college for a week that hurt badly before I dropped it- so that's how I imagine you to feel but all the time. You have my sympathy.

    As for me, it's been busy over here. We have Jess and Becky Blevins living out in the "cottage" and our friend Jason in the living room- so fullhouse. Dee and I have also been going to this SafePlace training every Tues and Thurs night so that we can volunteer there. SafePlace is a non-profit here that helps survivors of domestic and sexual violence in a bunch of different ways. It's been very emotional, but also positive.

    We're also getting ready to come to Carbondale the 24th!! So hopefully I'll get to run into you and give you a hug and brain massage :)

    Love you and sending you lots of brain growing energy!

  5. Hey Colleen!!!!

    I miss you and Eloise. I wish you had an extra weekend to have a play day with Trinidads and Osters.
    For Trinidads, it was a big week! Omar is done with his treatment. I am so thankful... God has been so faithful Omar was able to enjoy the wedding. I am hoping that next check up will go well! Leah started army crawl. She is fast whenever I put iPhone or watch in front of her. Toys dont work:) Hows Eloise? Please update her growth too:)

    Love you, and you are in my prayer!

  6. Hi Coll-o! :) You are so brave to be in school again! I think you are awesome!

    We are doing pretty good, and I am loving checking out your blog, and I am praying for his transition for your fam. I know it has got to be hard.

    In recent news Melody has decided to speak a few words and not just use baby sign language! The other day she started to say "mama, dada, yum and yeah, yeah" on command! Oh and this morning she fed herself rice cereal with a spoon without much of a mess! When did she get to be such a toddler? :)

    Love you!

Chewbeads Giveaway (Ends 5/20)!

* Giveaway closed!* Would you like to win some Chewbeads ? Well, here's a chance to win a necklace in your choice of style ( Hudson or Jane ) and color!!  Wahoo!!  Keep reading...  **Additional note:  If anyone has had any trouble commenting below, please feel free to e-mail me: colleen.staff@gmail.com, and I will either add the comment(s) for you or somehow make sure you are in the running!** You may already know that I love Chewbeads  (to be honest, I think I've worn them almost every day this week), so I'm really excited about this giveaway.  In case you haven't heard much about them... Chewbeads are baby-safe jewelry, especially great for teething (although I'm pretty sure you'll want to wear them way after the teething stops).  Here are a few of the specifics, straight from their site : - Beads are made with 100% silicone (similar to pacifiers & nipples) - Soft on babies gums and emerging teeth - Easily cleaned with dish soap & water,

Land of Nod Giveaway!!! (CLOSED)

Giveaway is CLOSED. Giveaway, it's a giveaway!!! $50 Land of Nod Gift Card! I'm obsessed with The Land of Nod .  I'm sure this is no surprise.  As you know, a whole lot of Eloise's room came from there.  And we continue to loooove, love, love their products.  SO, just recently, they came out with some amazing and adorable new products .  I can't get over how cute the new beddings are...these would have seriously been in the running for EA had they existed then.  And the blue Jenny Lind bed is the perfect shade of aqua, all funky and polished at the same time.  In love.  And, if you happen to like poufs, too, a faux leather (and somewhat cheaper) version of one for kids (or adults).  Oh, yes, and the rugs...seriously amazing...  I need to stop.   Anyways, these sweet people at the Land of Nod have offered to give one lucky reader a 50 dollar gift card .  Yep, that's right.  I'm pretty stinking excited.  I kind of wish I could enter!  For details,

Another Chewbeads Giveaway - Open until 6/11.

YAY!   Another Chewbeads Necklace Giveaway – the Turquoise Hudson !   Giveaway will close on Monday, 6/11 at 10pm – winner will be announced by Wednesday evening. So, this go around, the necklace is a gift from me as a thank you for reading or visiting this tiny little blog.  Also, because it’s really fun to give stuff away.   So, I’ll be giving away one specific necklace, the Turquoise Hudson , since it seemed to be the overall favorite last time!   Chewbeads have actually even improved since the last giveaway - they're now lighter weight and don't snag on long hair! You all know I’m a little obsessed with them , and I still wear them, even with E at 16 months.   Actually, she was just chewing on them the other day (same day as the pic above– I swear she chews on them, I just never catch it).   And – she cries for the Charles bangles when I wear them.   She’s convinced they are hers, I assume.   So...Who can enter? Anyone – Old readers, new
