Wiggly Daisy






My mom is a very talented woman and her latest creations are purses and bags. I was tired of carrying a diaper bag or big backpack but couldn't fit diapers and enough things into my purse. Thankfully, my mom made me a bag like this and it works great. There's even a matching diaper caddy for it. I have gotten so many compliments on mine!
If you would like a smaller bag there is a purse style one too. She uses a little cosmetic bag in hers to keep some of her smaller items. The cosmetic bags look so cute with your initial monogrammed on it. I am going to post more information about the Wiggly Daisy bags soon but if you are interested email us at wigglydaisy@gmail.com

First Pony Ride



How cool is this? I know I was holding her the whole time but I love that my sweet girl got to ride a pony. After talking to others and now seeing how comfortable she was doing it, I really need to look into horse therapy! Thanks Scout (the pony) for being so nice.

Mealtime Blues



I like to be a positive person but mealtime has been an ongoing frustrating thing for me. Maybe if I just have my negative moment I can let it go and focus on the positive. I found out yesterday that our sweet girl has lost weight again for the second month in a row. It takes a lot of time to feed her typically six times a day (breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, dinner, bedtime snack with medicine). I try to find the right balance of healthy foods that don't contain foods she's allergic to but also have enough calories. It also takes time to make her something separate and blend it up. Most "calorie boosters" are really sugary and I feel like I'm giving her lots of processed drinks or food to up the calories. Now to focus on the positive to regain my energy and patience at mealtime. . .

The positive: 1. Her nutritionist helps us with new ideas to help keep her as healthy as can be. 2. I don't do every meal. I do get "breaks" and am very thankful for my husband and other's help. 3. Overall, she eats pretty well and is healthy. 4. I do enjoy the quality time together when feeding her. She likes to "talk" and play games at mealtime.

Thank you Lord for my girl's health!
