*I decided to make monthly Fable films so she had something cool to look back on when she's older. Archer has a book documenting his first two years and the months leading up to his birth and I won't be writing a sequel. I want both my children to feel equally loved and inspiring when they look back on the various pages and videos that exist in their honor.

**he sings along in French. No joke. Hal's a huge Opera buff and Archer seems to be in full agreement that opera is superior to all art forms. We're putting the boy in a choir program this summer. I know he's my kid and all but it's pretty amazing how musically inclined he is. And his voice? Pitch perfect. Make a grown man cry, that voice.

I'm Being Followed by a Moonshadow?

Remember when I made this over the summer?


Apparently someone else ripped my outfit exactly had the exact same idea and is totally selling them at an upscale boutique IN MY HOMETOWN! Like, where my mom shops. My friend snapped a photo of it on her phone. See for yourself:

Don't you know? Fakes are never in fashion. 

I mean.... Really?*

So much for trying to make something unique and original. Annoying.

*This could totally be a coincidence by the way. Highly doubtful but still a possibility. 

When You Are Engulfed in Kisses

Fable hits the big 3! Continues breaking hearts. Specifically mine.

Today Fable is three-months old. I keep telling her not to grow up but she's ignoring me. Bummer. Here's to chapter three (months) in a story that keeps getting better...
