Having a little girl is SO MUCH FUN! The dresses, the shoes, the princesses, the baby dolls. I love it all! And as the years have gone by, I have patiently waited for her beautiful hair to grow long enough to play with, and now, less than 2 months away from her 3rd birthday, it [...]
This post is entirely too late (just like last year’s post), but in order for me to get back into the swing of things, I need to post it. If I don’t, it’ll continue to bug me. So here it is, some photos from the holiday. No captions because I’m mysterious like that and I don’t want to make photo sharing harder than what it really should be. Plus it’s getting late and I’m hungry. Just keeping it real. {more photos on Flickr} © Sophistishe 2012 | Permalink | 14 comments – Let’s chat!
With a new year here, many of us have new years resolutions. My resolution started months ago when I decided to go all whole grain. It was something I never really understood fully until I was introduced to a place called Bread Beckers. A wonderful local shop that sells whole grain in bulk and other [...]
My youngest child {hearts} shoes. Since she learned to walk, she has been walking in my high heels, her siblings boots and shoes, and pretty much any footwear she can find in our house. It’s so fun to watch! Sometimes she actually has to wear a pair of shoes that fit her though, and when [...]

Let me preface by saying that I had received an assortment of Udi’s Gluten Free goods before deciding to go Paleo. So I didn’t “cheat”, but I still have 11 more months to get right. I’ve spoken a bit about Jayden’s food sensitivities; wheat being one of them. He loves bread and it’s been a struggle trying to keep him from eating it. I purchased a gluten free tapioca bread as an alternative, but he refused to eat it due to its spongy texture and flavor. I don’t blame him. It was pretty bad. Just when I had given up [...]
My second daughter turned two years old 6 weeks ago. As she has been showing interest in the toilet for many months, we’ve just let this be a slow progression. With this slow progression however, I wanted some kind of transition wear, like a pull-up, that could provide easy accessibility for bathroom trips, but also [...]
