New Niece & H2W

Hey Everyone, things around here have been very busy so I dont have a regular informative post tonight, but what I do have is a picture of someone beautiful!

I want to introduce you to my newest niece Ellie! She was born last Wednesday August 24th at 10:36pm, 9 lbs 3 oz. & 21 inches. My sister was NOT AT ALL planning on any kind of natural birth but guess what?????

She had a natural birth!

I’m going to have her guest post in a few weeks to tell about her story…. look for it soon!

Happy Mom & Dad
1 day old


She is SO Beautiful!

  1. Great start this week!

    I posted about freezing green peppers, with two methods depending on the size of your crop.

  2. Thanks so much for hosting! Congrats to them, what sweet pictures. Looking forward to reading her birth story 🙂 This week I shared a delicious Honey Vanilla Ice Cream recipe (w/ dairy-free option). Thanks again.

  3. Congratulations on your new niece! My oldest is starting high school today; I still can’t believe he’s that old. I still remember when he was just born. Time sure does fly!

  4. Cutie! I love the little tutu.

  5. Adorable! Congrats to the beaming parents (and aunt, too)! Thanks for hosting, Rachel. We’re sharing our Lemon Yogurt Muffins — still not sugar free, but we’re working on it (didn’t want you to think we’d forgotten!).

    Many blessings to you and yours, ~Lisa

  6. What a beautiful baby! Congratulations to you sister (and to you too).

    Thanks for featuring my post in the top 3. How fun!

  7. Hello! 🙂

    Congratualtions on the baby! Adoreable! 🙂
    Thanks for hosting, especially since I’m sure you have MANY other things going on! 🙂 I shared my recipe for The Brew. It’s a great tonic to help clear up yeast when you’ve endulged a bit too much (like when you’re on vacation or during the holidays). 🙂

  8. Those are really wonderful pictures. Congratulations to your family.

    I posted a video recipe for tomatillo sauce, a great way to enjoy your tomatillo crop.

  9. One of my very close friends had her baby on the same day! 🙂 Her name is Emma. Your Ellis is just beautiful.
    Thanks for hosting!

  10. Oops, sorry for the typo. 🙂 ELLIE is beautiful.

  11. Soooo sweeet congrats to all!

  12. Congratulations to your new niece! She is very beautiful!
    Thanks for hosting! I’m sharing a post about heavy metal toxicity. A few years ago I found out that the school water had higher lead content than they should.
