Teaching Riley to Save (and not eat) Her Money

On Friday Riley's Grandma came to visit, we decided to try showing her how to put change in her piggybank. I doubted that she'd have the manual dexterity to position the coin at the right angle and successful get it in her bank, but she did. Over and over. The trick was preventing her from trying to put the pennies in her mouth. Ick!

Paradise Rose Soap

After hoarding the paradise rose soap that Matt bought me in Philadelphia almost 20 months ago, I decided to finally treat myself to actually using it. It smells SO good. Incredibly rosey, but not too perfumed. It's like pure silk to use.

A walk to the park

We ventured out of the house the Sunday before last, to visit the park. Riley's now able to go for walks by herself. Though she gets awfully distracted by porch steps, driveways and flowers!

She had a blast at the park. She tried all three slides, several swings and even tasted the bark chips....yum?




Mitt molests a tulip

We are so happy it's nearly spring. Riley enjoyed eating Saturday brunch (mmm, crepes) in the yard and exploring the new flowers. The tulip barely survived.
