Amelia is dressing herself these days.
Shirt is backwards, both legs through one leg of her skort. She's a crack up. Her most common words are "I do too" or "Me do, me do" as in, Back off mom.
Fels-Naptha.
This stuff is for real. I read about it on my friend Landen's blog, and I was skeptical because the stains I deal with are blowouts, chocolate, spaghetti, kid stuff. And I haven't found luck with anything. Until now. Fels-Naptha, it works every time! Disclaimer: it did not work on old stains that had already gone through the washer and dryer, bummer.
Maya's rolling.
Amelia and I were playing 3 little pigs and we heard Maya's babbles getting further and further away. So we went looking for her and we found her in the bedroom under our bed! She had to turn 3 corners to get there! She thinks she is so sneaky.
The perfect chocolate chip cookies.
This recipe is my favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe right now. I love to try new recipes, and this one is chewy and delicious. I add a bit more salt, not quite 2 tsp of vanilla, and I always use Milk chocolate chips. This cooking blog is also my favorite right now, especially for desserts.
Amelia wanting to show off her cuteness.
I get Amelia dressed and she says, "Daddy show" and runs to show daddy. I put her hair in this ponytail bun today and she had to show daddy, which meant we took a picture and sent it to him at work.
Maya driving the shopping cart.
I love this picture. Maya taking charge with the wheel, Amelia being a big sister and making sure she doesn't fall. Maya is sitting up great in the cart now and is obsessed with the wheel. She was so tiny hanging onto the wheel with her little bum right at the edge of the seat.
The Olympics
Loving the Olympics this year. This is the first year I am really into it since I was a kid watching with my family. Who knew there was so much drama in watching sports! I love the emotional highs and lows.

such a fun post! I think YOU are the best ever and your chocolate chip cookies!
I seriously miss you so much! This blog makes me sad but happy. I love reading your blog and seeing the girls. I am impressed with Maya's rolling and love Amelia being such a cute sister and such a girly girl!
I love Mel's kitchen cafe!! Everything I've made with her recipes is awesome :)
So I made the cookies on Sunday. AMAZING. Thanks for finding them! :) And your girls are as cute as ever. I love that amelia is dressing herself now...too cute.
It's so much fun to see your kids do things on their own. Amelia definitely wants her independence. It's fun to watch and hear about. How cute is Maya driving the shopping cart on her own. That picture is so sweet of Amelia helping and not just trying to push her out of the way. I'm loving the olympics too! It's the best reality show on TV!
