He is SO STINKING CUTE! I love how his blue eyes shine, even when he’s sad. I hope that the sippy cup transition will soon be a happy one. You might try a sippy cup with a straw. Owen did much better with those at first.
OH the Nuby cup…weaning Lauren from nursing…no biggie…weaning her off the binkie…no biggie…but the Nuby cup-OMG!!!! I waited until she was a week shy of 4..uh uh, thats right…do not tell her dentist.
he is so cute!!! Love the big blue eyes!! Noah still won’t take a sippy cup to go to sleep but i’m working on it! We have tried all kinds of sippy cups and Noah seems to like the Gerber ones. They are wide at the bottom and narrow in the middle and are wide at the top. They are one of the few I have found that don’t actually leak when they throw them from the high chair 100 times! This is such a cute post!
Berkley was the same way when I tried to give her a sippy cup, to the point that she wouldn’t really drink at all!! Then someone recommended one with a straw and it changed everything!!! Not sure if that will work with sweet Cohen, but it might be worth a try. And don’t worry in the process of finding “the sippy cup” I think I spent close to a small fortune.
Check out our new “Pirate Princess.” What’s that saying….”When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade??” I think that is how it goes. Well…when life gives your daughter an eye patch that she has to wear for two months straight because her vision in one eye is deteriorating and the doctor is hoping to strengthen it...

Carissa I LOVE THIS! What a sweetheart! I could not get this out of my mind when I was trying to write a paper for a class, and I ended up writing a short story inspired by your post! I’ll have to send it to you 
) I love that you are so encouraging to your kids and that you share that encouragement with your blog readers!
Carissa, I’ve been wanting to comment on this post since I saw it last week on my phone. It’s much easier to comment via a computer, imagine that!
Your litle pirate princess is just beautiful! I showed her pics to Owen today and he said that he likes her “pirate patch”. I told him that he will have to tell her that he likes it the next time he sees her. He thinks she’s beautiful and cool now!
Your strength in times like this is a testament to your character. I will be praying that her eye gets stronger over the next few months. Love you guys.
She is the prettiest pirate princess ever!!!
I SO needed this! Your strength gives me hope within my own situation with my son. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You and that is by far the cutest little gal I have EVER seen and she is on my prayer list!
what a gorgeous pirate princess! absolutely beautiful! love her, and her sweet face! i love the confindence you are instilling in her while also giving her the voice to tell all those who don’t quite get it where to shove it!!! girl power!
Carissa, I totally feel her pain! When I was her age, maybe a little older, I had to wear an eye patch. It was awful. I would go over to my friends house just so I could take it off and not have to wear it (my mom was not happy about that). However, when I wore an eye patch, it definitely wasn’t as fashionable as hers. I had to also do eye exercises. It’s not fun, but it will pass. I now have perfect vision. Hang in there.
Carissa, I’m gonna have to just say DITTO to Whitney’s comment. She said it perfectly! Just what I was thinking. We will be praying for the beautiful pirate princess and her eyes, too! Love you!
Carissa! You made me cry this morning. Such an awesome post. So thankful that God gives us the words for our kids when we ourselves feel 2 inches tall and don’t know how to fix it. There have been so many times when I have thought, “Ok, God, I’m not really ready to be this kind of grown-up. I don’t know how to handle this!” And yet, He never fails to help me thru it! You are an awesome mom, and an inspirational woman! Thanks for your post this morning! Hope today is another great day with your Pirate Princess. Praying that her eye starts getting stronger thru this. 
I know that everyone is shocked that I am posting a NON-DESSERT recipe this week. So here it is…Mexican pinwheels. A Crosby family favorite and pretty much every kid I know of loves this recipe as well. As always, if you try it out….leave me a comment and let me know what you think. And...

I’ve made these once before and they didn’t turn out as pretty as yours did! Thanks for the photos. It will help me to know what they’re supposed to look like the next time I make them! These are very yummy, especially with sour cream, salsa and guacamole.
Making this tonight! Can’t wait!!
yummy! i will definitely have to try. my savory taste buds thank you! =)
That’s right….the Miller’s don’t own a baby gate. Well, actually we do but it doesn’t fit on our staircase so why go buy a new one when a barstool works so well? Poor Coco just wants to get up those stairs so badly and this is how he has been spending most of his...

That’s way better than a suitcase! I got so tired of stepping over that thing that I gave up and let Ellen just learn how to climb the stairs. I am thankful I had two helpers, though, to spot her and close the bathroom door (So Ellen doesn’t fish in the toilet once she’s up there!)
