Take 5

Despite all the blog-worthy things going on in our lives right now, not to mention the million and one thoughts bouncing around my head like a cheerleader on a Mountain Dew buzz, not even Miscellany Monday can provide me the inspiration necessary to get a post typed and published this morning.

With a crazy week ahead, the hubs out of town, and appointments up the wazoo, I think this is as perfect time as any to take a little break from blogging to focus on things around here at the ol' homestead!

And since it'll be a week before my next post, I have decided to leave y'all with an idea I've seen all over the interwebs---a Q & A session. You ask and I'll do my best to answer your questions in several post installments beginning next week once I return.

In the meantime, I'll leave you with five days' worth of pictures of Lil' Miss Priss, Gillian Grace. After all, she's why y'all became followers in the first place, right?! I'd feel just awful if anyone went into a Gillybean withdrawal before next Monday's post.

I love her little chub rolls! Aghh, she's so darling!!!
So my question is: Have you done anything as a Mom you said you would never do?

Melissa said...

I love the picture of her under the sink and the one at the playground with the other child.

Have a good week and break.

Jennifer said...

Ok....the pic with her hands crossed and the bathing suit are my favorites :) Good for you taking a bloggy vacation. We all need to do that every once in awhile. Seems this 'blogging' thing, as enjoyable as it is, takes about alot of time. Once things start to slack around the house, you know you need a break. Get lots of stuff done and we will be here when you return :)

enjoy your week!

I swear everytime I see photos of GG I just want to kiss those cheeks. Of course then she wouldn't be smiling.
How did you come up with GGs name? Did you have any others picked out? I had a couple of names picked out for my youngest girl and when she was born, just one look and I knew she looked like a Paige. Her name fit her well. I also had Jenna, Holly and Lilly picked out. I was prepared to use whatever one fit her. Both od my girls have my middle name though. Michelle.

What is your and GG's favorite thing to do together?

Mama K said...

Hope you have a good blog break... I will definitely be taking a break the week before Little Man's 1st birthday party! Already getting a little stressed :)

My question is: How many children do you want and why?

Great pictures! There's definitely nothing wrong with taking a blogging break. It's been days since I turned on the computer and it felt good (of course I was reading blogs, checking my email and Facebook through my phone, but still).

A question, hmmmm .... in case GG had been a boy, did you have a name picked out?

Preppy Pink Crocodile said...

Love the Lilly suit and the baby belly! She's adorable!

sarah @ life {sweet} life said...

She is SO cute!! I love all of her little outfits, and her name is beautiful. Thanks so much for commenting on my blog - I'm excited to connect with you & follow along!

I love q&a posts. :) Here are a few questions, and sorry if you've recently talked about any of these - but I'm new here :)
How did you come up with your daughter's name? Do you want more kids? What are your favorite places to shop?

Meant to be a mom said...

Oh my goodness, the little bathing suit pics could not be any cuter. She is such a doll. Thanks for sharing :)

Questions??? What are a few of your favorite movies? Who is your favorite actress? And last.... What would you name your next child if you had to pick a boy and girls name today?

You are so sweet! My heart is smiling, thank you so much!

I LOVE that you posted a pic for each day for us, I LOVE that.

She is too cute. I have to say that I LOVE all her outfits. They look like they all came from "The Best Dressed Child" that literally is my Holy Grail of baby clothes. They are all so beautiful, and sooooo expensive.

Seriously, she is the ebst dressed Toddler I have ever seen! She is so happpy too. It must be all the clothes!! Ha, Ha!

My question would be where do you find all GG's clothes??

Have a great week!! XOXO
