It's been a long week with this little girl recovering from the family cold. All of the sudden she needs to be attached to me all day, can only nap for 30 minutes at a time, and seems to drool her weight in saliva before noon requiring the both of us to change clothes at least three times. She's still all smiles between it all but this girl is finally wearing me out! I'll take everything she gives me though, because being her Mama will always be my second favorite job. Second to loving her daddy, of course.
Look for me soon! And here's a sneak peek of what I've been SLOWLY working on this week.
xoxo,Rachel

such a cutie...can't wait to see what you've been up to!
Oh what a precious little cupcake..just adorable!
yes...they are hard work..especially when not well..but I wouldnt change my job as a mummy for the world.
I wouldnt worry too much about the drooling..it doesnt last too long..usually a sign of little teeth to come. How old is she?
Awwwww poor liitle girl and poor Mama!! Sounds like her litle teeth are coming up! My Huck Finn got his first two teeth at 15 weeks so be on the look out. LOVE her outfit!! FAB!
I hope everything ok for you soon. It's really bringing back some of my memories of taking care the little one.
It's hard but it's worth for everything.
Take care! Good luck.
she is such a cute baby and she has beautiful eyes.
How could she not smile in between, when you surround her in such wonderful happy colors :) Good luck recovering, and try to take some time off for yoursefl too
I love how wise she looks! She's beautiful :)
Adorable! (And I love that it's your 2nd favorite job - a lot of people forget the order!)
she is just beautiful and so are all the lovely colours in your beautiful photos!
i agree with in company with sparkles... i love that this is your second favorite job too! i pray she feels better soon, but as always she looks so happy you would never know that she was a bit under the weather. hang in there mama!!! xoxo
Gorgeous fabrics!!! Love the color combo. And also, Ruby is just adorable. :)

i love her little leg warmers....so cute! i hope you all feel better soon! sending hugs your way!
Indulge away....anytime! We love seeing that sweet little girl, hope she's all better soon :) Great vintage fabric!
love love love!!!
off topic but think you are one of the best to ask.. I am getting my first sewing machine this weekend & wonder, what do you recommend for a first project??
Your kids are so cute! I love her facial expressions! Thanks for posting pictures of your beautiful family!
Oh Rachel! Stop killing me with cute babies and vintage linen rainbows.
Do you thrift your sheets or buy them on etsy/ebay? I've found a few good ones in thrift stores, but you always have the loveliest sheets!
Oh my goodness, cute everything in those pics!!! But of course, mostly that sweet little girl!! :)
Aww.. Teeny foots pictures.. precious!
i love how much she looks like my neice did when she was a baby. She has the same giant brown eyes and similar skin tone. I hope she gets your curls...my poor daughter was stuck with my pin straight couldn't curl it if i tried hair...but you know the grass is always greener.
Hope she feels better soon!
<3
she is so precious! you could totally be a baby stylist. that probably doesn't exist but you should make it up :)
aw she's so precious!
i love all your fabrics, seriously!
Adorable photos, and I really appreciate that you consider being a mom your 2nd favorite job. I don't have kids, but if my husband and I ever decide to, I want to make sure that we work to keep our priorities in that order.
she is sooooooooo cute!!! i can´t say it often enough :) i´m badly in love with your girl <3
if i ever have kids and they won´t look as cute as this little one i´m afraid of beeing dissappinted ;)
Ooooh...lovely fabric!! :) Can't wait to see what you're working on - a quilt?
And Ruby is the sweetest. :) he he. What a cutie!!
if you send me that stack of fabrics i'll be the happiest ruffle-sewing girl everrrrrrrr!
Hope she feels better soon. Your jobs are priceless. <3
did I miss your story, of how you and brett met?
oh wow, she is seriously just the sweetest thing! and loving that rainbow of vintage sheets. can't wait to see what you're making.
Wow, she really looks like you. She's beautiful. Hang in there. Before you know it she'll be graduating from college (just like mine is).
it's the little froggy legs that get me every time!
Your daughter is a dream. Your blog is fantastic and your creative skills extremely apparent.
The only part of this post that made me raise a brow was prioritising your children and your husband. Maybe we have a different attitude in Europe. I love, adore, cherish my husband but my kids, well my kids are the centre of my world. It's an animal instinct...
Deedee,
I appreciate how you feel about your kids and that you were wondering how I could prioritize my family. I was taught at a young age that if I lost focus of my marriage because I was so wrapped up in my kids that they would eventually suffer more. It's more about nurturing the source of our family's strength (our marriage) so that the whole family can be strong, so they can feel secure, so I can feel balanced as a woman and not just a mother.
I think that kind of perspective on it may help you see where I'm coming from. It's because I love my children so much that I keep my marriage strong.
Totally see your perspective and your love of your family shines through.
I am wrapped up in my kids but am (I hope!) also an intelligent, working woman and wife so don't have the chance to lose site of anything-just juggle it all as best I can!
My parents also set me up with strong values. Their marriage is still going strong after 40 years, 4 children and 7 grand children so are always a source of inspiration for me.
Look forward to reading your next thought provoking and visually stunning blog.
Deedee,
Our families are lucky to have us! ;)
wow, these are adorable!! please show a peek of what you are making with these beautiful fabrics!
