How Time Flies…

How time flies…

It flies in the eyes of Sunshine Doodle, six weeks old already and taking in more and more of the world around her every day.

It flies on the back of Sweet Doodle, as she lays on the ground throwing a temper tantrum, the first of our girls to fall prey to the Terrible Twos while three is usually the age I approach with fear and trembling.

It flies in the imagination of Monkey Doodle, who continues to blossom into her own little person more each day.

It flies on the feet of Pumpkin Doodle, who turned five at the beginning of this month and is already marching excitedly towards six.

It flies from my husband’s paint brush as he works tirelessly to finish our front porch before winter comes to stay.

It flies from my fingertips, as I work and blog at the computer each day, but not in my ears now that I am no longer tethered there by earphones while I transcribe.

It flies on the wheels of our truck, as we drive to experience adventures as a family such as the National Zoo, Blackwater Falls State Park, a weekend away with friends in Charleston, WV and more.

It flies on the wings of each new skill the girls learn, each giggle and each hug.

It flies faster and faster with each passing day.

There’s no stopping its flight, so I grab hold of its tail and vow to enjoy the ride!

As a busy work-at-home mom striving to make the most of every moment with my girls (4.5, 3, 1.5 and one baby on the way!), my goal is to share easy crafts and activities, kid-friendly and easy recipes, and adorable and easy cupcakes for other moms looking to do the same!

  1. Mandi, these are fantastic pictures! I cannot believe Miss Sunshine Doodle is 6 weeks old! That seems impossible…

    Your family is beautiful!

  2. Yay - you’re back (dare I admit I was worried?!) What fabulous photos - especially the one of Monkey Doodle on the porch swing. You have a beautiful family - thank you for sharing it!

  3. Mandi,
    I love the pictures. I have always said your doodle girls are the cutest. I can’t believe it has been six weeks already either. Sunshine doodle has gotten so big. I love her purple headband. My Tinky girl was bald forever. I had to tape bows to her head.

  4. Beautiful post, Mandi! It’s all we can do–hold on and cherish every minute!

  5. Such a beautiful post. So glad the first weeks with four little ones are being so enjoyed and cherished!

    p.s. And beautiful pics of a beautiful family, BTW.
