Part of what I love about the girls' names is that they were both popular 100 years ago and many people with those names are now great-grandmas. Both names evoke a vision for me of sweet old ladies rocking away together on a porch. I pray Ella and Sadie will live meaningful lives full of love and will be enjoying each other on a front porch somewhere many years from now.

Potato Stamping!

I am a craft lover. So, on my first Tuesday to not have to work in about 18 months, I was excited to do a fun craft with Ella. And it was successful!


First start with a couple of potatoes


Wash them, cut them in half and dry them off


Draw a shape you want to stamp with


Let Mommy cut it out!



Start Stamping!


We found that painting on the paint worked better than dipping into paint


Plus then you can get a little creative :-)





We will definitely do this again! Super fun and easy!

    These are REALLY good pictures! Great exposure and composition. I know it's not a photo assignment but I thought you would like to know :-)

    From the mom-half of me: I LOVE this craft! We're totally doing it sometime soon!
