Tara Mosier is the artist and designer behind Mosie Posies, an etsy shop dedicated to personalized prints for new arrivals or birthdays. I love her combination of colors and the way she uses type. I mean the elephant duo on the top left?? My fave of course.
There are alphabet, numbers, initial prints, and name sake prints as well.
She is giving a reader a custom 8 x 10 print! Enter easily through rafflectopter below.
Anyone have tips for that lovely growing out the bangs phase? A perpetual side braid is all I got!
I am entering into the third trimester (already?!) – what I like to compare to feeling as if you are carrying a kangaroo in your pouch and the awkward waddle starts to replace your once confident stride. The puffy face alludes to the fact that you did just eat a whole can of pringles by yourself, and you don’t really care if your toddler just dumped a bag of rice on the floor. Let her play in that mess because you don’t have the energy to move you and your kangaroo pouch off the chair to clean it up.
Goodbye energetic and mobile second trimester.
But its okay because I get lots of kicks and hellos from the little one inside reminding me its all worth it.
In other news…
We were blessed with the most gorgeous weekend Georgia has seen in a while, and even better, I had my sisters in town to share it with. I am now okay with the rainy monday since I soaked the sun out of the weekend. How was yours friends?
After what seemed to be a month of rain and gloom, spring has arrived in all its glory and it has brought a FEVAAA with it! Sunnies and 70’s all weekend long (you guys gotta move to the ATL) and these lovelies above are on the top of my favorites list.
I have a fun round up of links for ya:

Happy St. Patrick’s Day weekend friends! I am not irish but my children are so that means we are celebrating the good saint loudly! (I have plenty of freckles to boot.)
When is the baby gonna come out? Wil I get to hold the baby? Will she be happy?
He doesn’t know that just yesterday, I was waiting for him anxiously, feeling him kicking and moving constantly in my womb, and wondering who he was going to be.
My first born.
I ache for those days where he fit into my arms perfectly, but accept that it was a gift to have those days at all. I have shed tears thinking of how fast he went from being my newborn to my little man in what seems to have been only a year in time.
When I saw him react to feeling this baby move, I was reminded that he was meant to be my first born. God knew exactly what He was doing. Gabriel will be the big brother they will learn from.
And boy, has he challenged Gabe and I these past few years. Stretched us to our limits and re-molded our hearts. Through the ugly moments and the sweet ones, I know he was made to be my first.
Little lovebug in the womb, you are a lucky one. You have a big brother her already loves you so much. He thinks you are a girl. We will see:)
I saw these fun straws at Target, and before I knew what I was going to do with them I took them home. (Currently in the Target easter section for $3 per canister.) These were going to be put to use, no matter what…. I obviously had to grab some jelly bellies while I was there as well so when I dumped the contents of my Target bag on my table when I got home, it occurred to me that they were made for each other;)
Use straws that are wide enough to slide down your favorite small Easter sweets (3/8 in.).
(Jelly Beans, Tic-Tacs, Nerds, etc.)
Use bright washi tape to cover and seal the ends. Make sure it is sticky enough to stay put.
These are fun to stick in easter straw for a party display or just hide them in deserving Easter Baskets.
Can’t wait to surprise my little ones with these in a few weeks!
You could also use just the green ones filled with green treats for a St. Patrick’s Day DIY.

Everything is an adventure through little sets of eyes…even if its to your local greenhouse. #WAALove – Things I want to remember:
How enthralled V gets with anything in the sky….birds, planes, and balloons top her list.
The way Gabriel tries to hold her hand whenever we are in public. Except half the time, Veronica would rather pull away and do things independently.
How happy my husband gets when he has time in his yard getting his hands in soil. Its a language I want to know more about. He helped me pick out a few succulents for my kitchen windowsill because.. we both know I can’t kill those.Things I wouldn’t mind forgetting:
How Veronica screams at the top of her lungs anytime we leave….anywhere.
And boy does she have a set of lungs. Might even be a future opera singer. Which is usually why I don’t brave the public on my own…Gabe is better at tackling the flailing sprout. Happy Monday friends!
