My New Obsession


These beautiful dolls from Bamboletta are my latest obsession. I got one for The Starlet for her birthday and she adores her. I wasn't expecting the reaction of pure joy The Starlet had to this doll. Heck I wasn't expecting my reaction. They are all natural dolls in the Waldorf style. Their outfits are hand made and they are amazing in the little details. Christine creator and head of the mama brigade who makes these darlings is a sweet and amazing lady who had put up with my incessant questions and even offered to send me extra shoes when I enquired about purchasing extras for the doll I got for my daughter. I'm now hoping my next daughter will be responsible at an early age so I can get her one too!

And Here We Are

Tomorrow my daughter will turn 5. I'm sitting here with my second daughter still inside me and I'm being a silly twit and getting weepy for the baby my first daughter was. I get glimers of the woman my Starlet will be and while I swell with pride my heart screams "STOP GROWING UP!"

But in all honesty despite the ups and downs of my separation and divorce, she is proving to be a wonderful little person. She is considerate and funny. She assimilates knowledge I don't even realize she's picking up. She is telling me how she will be an excellent big sister to her soon to be half sister. In short despite the pangs of regret at the baby that is slipping away I am proud of the person she is becoming.

Happy Birthday Starlet. I love you to the moon and back.
