X held hands with a girl today.

He hung out with his bloggy friend, Pearl. It’s wonderful to have met so many amazing people through blogging (and instagram) that also have kiddos near X’s age.
When we got pregnant we were overjoyed at the thought of having a kiddo…but, sad he wouldn’t have other kiddos to be around.
Kira, Pearl’s mom and writer of Rain OR Shine, was one of the first Portland bloggers to reach out to me. Just so happens that Pearl came along just a little bit after X. It has been a blast getting to see her grow up (via instagram, blogs, and play-dates) alongside my little guy. And, it is great to have another new mom to talk to about baby problems, frustrations, joys, and questions.

I can’t wait for the next Play-date!

This past month (April) I participated in the C.R.A.F.T. Pal package exchange. I had so much fun when I participated this past February that I signed up again.

This month my pal was Cindy from CinSarah blog and Blessed Design Studio. She sent me this lovely package:

She sent me tissue paper, painted clothespins, a lovely necklace, cute scrapbook accessories, pink & white straws, and a cute print from her etsy shop!

The print up on my mantel at home.

Here is what I sent her:

I was obviously in a party supply creating mood. I sent her a hand-sewn banner, rose cupcake toppers, and hand-lettered invitations for a future event. It was a lot of fun to send!

The C.R.A.F.T. (creating really awesome free things) package exchange is hosted every other month. Sign up over HERE!
