Speech, Shopping and A Note card Give away


Harper had speech today in Fayetteville so we got ready for that this morning.  We broke out some of their baby headbands and decided to wear them for a different look today.  They were loving it! 


Harper is getting so grown up and I am HATING it.  First of all - she will argue to death with me that she is five. ha! She is SO independent.  She dresses herself. She makes her own bed. She gets her own snacks and drinks.  She gets in and out of her car seat without help. I know these are all things she should be doing but the control freak in me is having a hard time letting go.  Plus I think it just signals she is not a baby or even a toddler anymore. 

Plus she insists on putting her hand on her hip and posing like a teenager. UGH. 

She didn't get that from me - I'm one of the few non hand on the hip posers left. 



And it's hard being two when you want to do what your big sister is doing.  I feel like she's growing up faster because she watches her sister.  

I could eat this girl up with a spoon! She's getting so big too.  We are turning so many corners. 

I have a love/hate relationship with this growing up business. 


After speech - we headed to our favorite store Riffraff.  Remember I told you about the documentary on blogging I'm going to be in? Well - Chris is coming on Thursday morning to film me.  He is going to 50 bloggers in the next few weeks. He has a crazy filming and travel schedule.  I stressed on what to wear so Kirsten who owns Riffraff told me to come over and they would help me! 
{And this old woman could use all the help I can get}


I have always had this VERY WEIRD thing that I don't like to shop with anyone. Laurie and Scott can tell you.  I have never liked shopping with anyone. I like to shop alone. So I was nervous as a cat to go to Riffraff today because I wasn't sure if they would want to come in the dressing room with me or see me try everything on or what? But Ashley was the stylist and she could not have been more sweet or helpful! She gave me several options and I loved them all.  I picked out this polka dot shirt that I'm going to wear with colored jeans! I love it! You can follow Riffraff on instagram, twitter and facebook and see all the new stuff they have and you can order on-line!
I will show you more of my outfit after I film on thursday!!! {EEK!!!!!!!!!!!}
{Just pray that I can be a light for Him through this film. That's my hope and goal!}

OH PS - HOW CRAZY IS THIS BUT I JUST REALIZED CHRIS THE FILM MAKER'S WIFE - CASEY - IS GIVING AWAY A $150 GIFT CARD TO RIFFRAFF ON HER BLOG TODAY!!! SO YOU NEED TO GO TRY TO WIN!!!!
