Learning to Raise a Homemaker!

I have been at home with my daughter since the day she was born. Granted she is only 12months old however I have discovered that she is most certainly a girl! She wants to do everything mommy does. She likes to watch me cook, clean, put groceries away, and blog. We read together, we watch her phonics and reading DVDs, we say prayers, poems and wrestle with daddy.

She loves to look at books and read her bible stories.She is just learning to walk and I have already seen how quickly she learns. She knows that dishes go in the dishwasher and that the cascade goes in the door of the dishwasher. She knows that there is cheese in the bottom drawer of the fridge and she knows that her toys go in a certain bin.

God has been amazing in allowing me the joy and pain of having this little treasure in my life. She came so unexpectedly and quickly that we didn't have time to think.

As Christmas approaches and my little one gets to experience Christmas for the first time through the eyes of a child that is learning more and more every day I am great full to be having the chance to teach my daughter to be a homemaker!

Niki's birthday week....

So this week my little girl turns one! She has already received gifts from her Memaw and Popa Modlin, Tara our dear friend, and her Grammy Graham. Tara sent her a box full of gifts all the way from Reno Nv! She loves her new toys and clothes!

My mother in law arrived today and Amy and I are working hard to get the house ready for the baby's birthday party on Saturday. There are still some birthday decorations to hang and some things to store that are in the way.

But will 4 adults in the house i'm sure we can accomplish plenty!
