10 new toes

By Leave a Comment

Our 7th wonder entered the world on September 30th.  Welcome little Evangelina.   You are already deeply loved.   You are already fought over.  You are already fitting in.

We left our home at 3:48 am and quickly headed up the hill to the hospital.  Upon our arrival to the hospital, you weren’t quite ready.  I asked if I could go home.  Within 45 minutes my water broke and within another 45 minutes I was ready to push.  I almost broke your Pop’s hand but a painful 15 minutes comes and goes quite quickly.  Perfect timing – 5:43 am, right before your siblings would wake for school.  You were on FaceTime within minutes of entering the world.  Welcome to the world sweet girl.  Your 10 new toes are a wonderful addition to our family.

There is no doubt that this election year is an important one and there is no better time to teach our kiddos about their rights as citizens to vote. Since some of us here at Babiekins homeschool, we have also taken time out to explain to our kiddos how voting works and how important it is to make sure we vote and have our voices heard.

We love this editorial by Erica Allen and stylist Someday Paintred and thought it would be the perfect fashion shoot to inspired all of you to get out and rock your vote!

Reflection

“No doubt the best and happiest exercise of the senses springs out of a loving familiarity with the world of nature.” – Charlotte Mason

Visiting the docks.  Imagining whale sized fish under our feet.  Watching the sun go down on the water.  Nature is filled with ever changing life and WONDER.  Reflect on it.

Bloomin’ Good Time

By Leave a Comment

Summer is coming to an end.  Wait, Spring and Summer and all that was in between is coming to an end.  The little ones had their year turned upside down but they didn’t miss a beat.  It was difficult, to say the least, for many of us.  I’ve always dreamed of being the ultimate home-school Mom.  It was a must, top of my to-do list as a Mother – ABSOLUTELY.  This year gave me the opportunity – maybe not gave but dropped in my lap.  While my dreams weren’t exactly met and I realized my limits, there was so much more.  I grew with my children.  We bloomed.  I really dove into their learning habits and their hearts.  The “forced” time was a flowering of their personalities.  I will never get these days back.  Similar to a flower in all it’s beauty, it only lasts so long, never to be seen again.  I am grateful for this hardship and blessed to have these 7 little ones to nurture through this rugged life.  Also like a flower, it can withstand harsh and sunny weather, so withstood these little ones.

In honor of our blooming, a fun shoot that called for floral headpieces and beautiful designs.

Styling Denim & Denim with Pops of Whimsy

By Leave a Comment

Utilitarian and iconic, denim is a personal favorite. Manufacturing methods are so advanced and varied, denim no longer has to be thick and stiff.  I love that it gets better with each wash and wear. While styling denim on denim, I prefer for there to be a variance in the tones and color of the denim’s wash. To break up the indigo hues, I incorporated some hints of yellow, red, and orange. For some quirk, I added whimsical notes like 3D butterflies, tiger socks, and a bucket hat. Denim is such a great base for any look or style. There is no wrong way to style it!

Lockdown Photoshoot

Staying home doesn’t need to be boring or drab, our photographer friend Leonie Freeman has got the right ideas with her Wes Anderson style retro tent in her backyard. Our Goodordering kids backpacks go perfectly with this look, and we absolutely love the colourful clothes her kids are wearing.
