WatchI love this video. Caroline is all about Adele.
not sure if i've posted this on here:
but i am on twitter. @anitamyers. find me so i can find you back ;)
and the collards were bangin, by the way
i picked her right out of the cabbage patch
I made my first attempt at making collards on New Year’s Day and I was a little nervous how they would turn out, so I called my Grandma to get her recipe for fixing them because I could eat a truckload of her collards. She adds cabbage to her greens so I did, too.
Claire was none too pleased about the huge leaf on her head, but I could not resist this photo op.
Now when she asks me...
Claire, my little bear:
You’ve really done a number on me.
I can’t even begin to tell you how much I needed you. I can’t put into words the kind of joy you bring. I could never imagine a life without you in it. I look at you and I am speechless.
All I know is you made my heart open up so much bigger than I ever dreamed possible. You, along with your big sister have helped me become the mother I...

We started a tradition this year.....
Thanksgiving weekend, we traveled to Boone to pick out our tree. Caroline was super excited!
We found a tree farm waaaaay up the mountain and let me just tell you….the view was amazing!
After spending close to an hour there, we finally decided on this monster. It’s pushing 10 feet tall and it’s quite possibly the most beautifully shaped tree I have ever seen!
Of course, it...

This is what happens when momma has too much free...
I start making tutus for the girls. And we wear them around the house.
This is the part where I throw in a little self promotion and tell you that I am selling them, too. I’ve already made a few for friends and friends of friends, so I am opening a little etsy shop very soon called PinkChubbyCheeks. I’ll post the link for the shop once I have added some inventory, but in the...
On a lighter note:
Claire is watching the Lion King in her bouncy seat and if I didn’t know better, I would swear she was trying to have a conversation with Simba.

Saturday will mark my 36th trip around the sun.
I will be 40 in 4 years.
Am I the only one that feels a little anxious about being 40 with a small child??
same outfit. different babies.
this is my sweet Caroline. October 2008.
and this is my little Claire bear. Taken this morning.
Caroline was 3 months old and Claire is 6 months.
Either Caroline was a lot bigger than I remember or Claire is teeny tiny cause they look about the same age, right?

And then, she was 3.
Caroline is now a 3 year old. THREE.
Just last week, I got corrected by Chris when I referred to her as a toddler. “Anita, she’s a little girl now.” blegh. whatever.
For her third birthday, we decided to have a joint party with my nephew Cade at Mimi’s house at the lake. We had a pool party with a sock monkey theme. It turned out great and between the two of them, there...
a lazy susan ain't just for condiments.....
i get such a kick out of seeing Claire turn herself round and round on the dinner table.
Yeah, I’m easily amused.
the second time around is easier...
Well, I’m not sure it’s easier, but I can say I’m a little more ‘in the know.’
With Caroline, I was always wiping the drool from her neck during the start of the teething stage. I kept Aquaphor in her crevices to avoid her getting a rash and even then it seemed like she always had ‘milk cheese’ in the fat rolls of her neck.
This time around, Tommee...
i'd like to tell you about this picture.
These ladies are my family. I married into these family members, but they are just as close to my heart as my blood family.
This was taken on a very sad day. This was the day we buried CJM’s Nanny. She was 94 years young when she left us. Thankfully, she left us peacefully and suddenly, as this meant she didn’t suffer. Thankfully, I got to spend 11 and a half years with Nanny and...
the rundown.
Caroline is the best big sister. ever. period.
Claire is sitting up like a pro.
Chris is a goner. Completely crazy over his girls.
I’m equally as smitten.
It appears as though CJM’s genes are a lot more dominant than mine. Could my girls look any less like me?

this is why i've been away from you guys.....
My world is completely engulfed by these two blue eyed babies.
Well, Caroline is a not a baby anymore. She’s my little girl. She’s growing up a lot faster than I want her to and honestly, I am not dealing well. She will be three in less than two weeks. Three.Years.Old. Wrapping my head around that fact has been difficult. But it’s also such a rewarding feeling to be able to...
