One Year. One Month. One Day.

Posted in: Friends, Life

Today Eleanora is one year, one month, and one day old.

I am thinking of and praying for Olivia Anne Hellwig and her family more than ever today. Last September, Olivia was killed in a tragic accident as a careless, hurried driver sped through a crosswalk in reverse.

Olivia was one year, one month, and one day old.

Olivia is the niece of our dear friends Jen and Adrian, and you can read more about her in a beautifully and thoughtfully written post on Adrian’s blog, Dad or Alive.

Please say a prayer for Olivia and her family. Please hug your babies tight to you. And please, please, please exercise hyper-diligence at all times while driving. Look around. Slow down. No hurry is worth a sweet baby’s life.

Love,
June1st

Wanted: Dad or Alive

Posted in: Friends

My friend Adrian is a stay-at-home dad who has a truly awesome blog called Dad or Alive.

Dad or Alive is, first and foremost, HILARIOUS. But it’s also refreshing, unique, and very very sweet. I’ve mentioned it before, so if you haven’t checked it out yet, check it out.

Dad or Alive has been nominated as one of the top 25 Dad blogs by Circle of Moms, and the titular Dad needs our help leaving those other dads in the dust. I want to help make Dad or Alive the #1 Dad blog. CLICK HERE TO VOTE FOR DAD OR ALIVE. You can vote every day… the competition ends April 5.

I told Adrian that my readers are super smart and funny (much like Dad or Alive) and that we will totally help him win this thing. 🙂

Thanks, friends!

Katie Is A Better Mom Than I Am

Posted in: Friends

My friend Katie is an intrepid soul. She has two amazing, lovely, adorable babies who are a whopping 18 months apart from each other. After reading my last post, Katie decided to show off by posting THIS photo on Facebook:

You can clearly see little Sean perched in the “big kid” part of the shopping cart. Look closely to spot baby Lucy camouflaging herself like Where’s Waldo amongst the yogurt and bananas.

Katie, I don’t know whether to call this courageous or crazy. You probably call it necessary. Regardless, I salute you.

How do the rest of you mamas do it? Send me photos!

xoxo,
