3 Years Time...

"Yours is the first face that I saw

I think I was blind before I met you

Now I don’t know where I am 

I don’t know where I’ve been

But I know where I want to go"

In some ways, I believe every cliche Momism you've ever heard. That my life was completely changed the moment I looked at that hot mess of a human whom I'd forever call my child. Every label I've ever had is now playing second fiddle to "Mom". This is so true. True in a way you don't fully understand until you also are a parent. But I'm glad to still be me. A crazy mom version of me, but me none the less.

And you know what me loves? PARTIES! 

I find that having a small child is like, the BEST excuse to get overly crafty and pinobessed. This year, Lucy turned 3, and we talked for a long time about what she wanted to do for her party. She decided she wanted to have a pool party at Grandpa Kreider's house. (I may have pushed the mermaid/sea theme on her a little bit...) So I started collecting, planning, and crafting.

At every birthday party I like to display pictures or something to share with people about Lucy in the past year. This year, I decided I'd put up some of my favorite Lucy quotes:

My favorite part of parties is getting a bunch of people I really like in the same area. 

I loved it. I felt blessed, and happy, and relaxed that it wasn't my house I had to clean before and after the party. :) 

I think Lucy also maybe loved it...

Lucy and I made this piñata. I plan on devoting a whole blog post about this ridiculous craft project.

Birthday success. I just really like this kid. Seriously guys. She's pretty freaking cute.
