Modest Mom/Deborah and Co. Giveaway

Yesterday when I was researching more modest maternity skirts, I was starting to wonder if I would ever find a modest and fashionable skirt.  I own some maternity clothes, but I feel like the skirts are cheaply made, and they never seem to be long enough.  Is it asking too much for a skirt to cover my knees!!  I have always worn skirts and dresses, but I have been exclusively wearing them for almost four years now.  I love how feminine I feel, and I look up to Mother Mary has an example of modesty and purity in my life.  

I was so excited to found this website called The Modest Mom.  I fell in love with their jean skirt, and it's a maternity one too!  How exciting!   Even better, they have a giveaway starting today.  I hope God blesses me with winning the giveway.  I plan on sharing this website with more of my modest mom friends.  

By the way, today is our special day.  Three years being married to the man who I just admire more and more each day.  

The Morning After Magdalene's Birthday

Magdalene's 2nd birthday was a special day in our household.  The morning afterwards was just as special.  Here is a sneak peek with Magdalene.

Happy 4th!

Magdalene (21 months old) and Tobias (nearly 8 months old) are spending their first fourth of July together.  Look at my sun-tanned babies!  

We had a great fourth today.  It's brutally hot and even Magdalene doesn't want to spend much time outside.  This is the little girl who would spend all day outdoors.  Jordan planted some bushes and perennials for me.  Our fence is up and looks great!  Summer is awesome so far, and I am so looking forward to our vacay to California within the next month.  We can't wait!  

By the way, I'm started a new book called Rosary Workout.   It sounds interesting.  I will post more info as time goes on, but I just thought it was about time to update this blog.  Love you all!

Thank You Tias!!!!

Thank you so much for your package!!!  We loved all the items!!!

Magdalene's Sixth Month Pictures Have Arrived!!!

Our little pumpkin looks so nice in her sixth month pictures.   We will send out pictures soon, but if you have a preference in a certain pictures and size, let us know!  We hope your Lent is going well.  Remember no meat on Fridays (hint hint to my father...let's see how long it will take him to respond to this post). 

Magdalene, the Prettiest Easter Bunny!

Magdalene is ready to go for Easter this year!  I know we're a bit early, but I found a great deal on a cute bumble bee Easter basket.  Isn't it so cute!  Her Grandma Robin got her those cute bunny eyes.  She's ready to go egg hunting!  It's exciting because my mom and sister (who has never met Magdalene yet) are coming around Easter.  We will have so much fun!  My mom has never dyed Easter eggs so this should be a real treat for her.  Hmm...so my mom and sister are coming which means.....I will get some sleep!  haha.  Actually probably not because I will want to talk and catch up with them.  My mom is also bringing Magdalene her first Portguese sweet bread.  It's a tradition in the Portuguese household to receive a little Portuguse sweet bread with an egg in the middle (a cook, hard-boiled egg).  The egg represents Jesus' resurrection on Easter.  Now Magdalene will not be able to eat the sweet bread, but I know of two parents who love that stuff.  Jordan totally destroys it for me though.  He toasts the sweet bread and puts jelly on it!  What!!!  It's sweet bread.  You eat it with butter and Portuguese cheese...that's it.  Almost everyone in my immediate family has met Magdalene.  I hope one day soon my extended family will be able to meet her.  But until then, I hope this blog and the pictures I send help you get to know my daughter.
