Motherhood. Momma. Mommy. Me. A sacrifice, sometimes I feel like I'm losing myself, but it's the best thing I've ever done. There's nothing quite like looking into those big blue or brown eyes and seeing nothing but love. I have two little girls who love me completely on good days and bad. Slowly, I'm becoming a better person. Because I am a Momma.

The responsibility is huge and sometimes it rests heavy on my shoulders. How do I help Holly to be reasonable (especially since we're emotional twins)? Does Greta get enough love and attention from me? Am I playing with my girls enough? What will the future bring? This photo is so motherhood to me. Trying to guide my child as she plunders on without looking back. I don't want her to fall.

I made Holly a couple of pairs of Oliver+S puppet show shorts. I think they're so cute! For the chambray pair, I cut up a tunic I never really wear and I felt so clever doing it. Holly is extremely picky about her clothing, so it took lots of tries to get her into these. I made them out because they looked comfortable and they have pockets. What more could a toddler want? We still have a bit of drama when we want her to wear these shorts but at least she doesn't strip them off at mid-day! 

I do Greta's hair in pigtails nearly every day. If I don't it can get a little wild...

Holly sewed something when my back was turned. She was really impressed with herself and I wasn't as much. But then I realized it's cute and funny. She used the hand wheel to sew through a yogurt top. I desperately hope that my girls want to sew with me one day. Or at least will always wear the things I make for them.

My dear friend Julie and her daughter Leila were in California and we were able to spend two days with them (one of the days we went to them in Hollister but I didn't take any photos of the kiddos)! We loved having them over and Holly and Leila played so well together. Greta loved trying to keep up with the big girls. Come back soon Julie!
