Welcome To Jodified!

Hi. Welcome. My name is Jodie and I am a blogger. Eventually there will be a support group I'm sure. I am also a photographer. Oh, and a mom. To three small children. And I am pretty bad at balancing it all, but work everyday to get better. I also don't cook. I suck at laundry and struggle to return phone calls. I need a hair cut too but ponytails hide everything. This blog is not about that, but then it is, and sometimes it isn't. This blog is my life. My kids, my work, my struggles, my joys. My once professional, now personal blog that is totally me. And I love it. So welcome.

what in the world do i post today?

Posted on April 29, 2009

Thanks for the response to yesterday's post. The comments and emails have been so encouraging and there have been several photographers that signed up today!

YEAH! Thank you.

I wish I had time to email everyone personally, but I don't right now, so please know that I read the comments and got your emails. And thank you.

Thanks for hearing that baby boy's story and letting it settle into your heart. Allowing you to appreciate what you have a bit more today. Encouraging you to hug your kids a little tighter.

But now I am stuck in this funny place of what in the world could I post today that will come close to matching that story?

And the answer?

Nothing.

So to step away from the tears that post caused so many of you, I present…

Wacky Wednesday!

Today was Wacky Wednesday at Bailey's preschool and they were encouraged to dress themselves as wacky as they could!

Everything was her idea, even the hair!

She had on two different pairs of shoes but as we were walking out the door she stopped, ran back, put on the same pair and said, "that was just TOO wacky mommy!"

HA!

I asked her to look at the camera and she did this pose! I almost died. She is so funny!

And of course Miss Parker had to get in on the action!

That kid. Steadily she is becoming simply awesome.

I think Gray was inside which means that maybe tomorrow I will yank him outside for some photos… he is long overdue!

Other favorites from today…

Hello spring!

20090429_0039b 20090429_0044b 20090429_0042b I am in LOVE with this photo! I was trying to get a photo of the "blower" when Parker came over and held up the flower! I love that her little hand is in there and it's sort of like the before and after of the dandelion world!

And last but not least I wanted to share this one with you.

My friend Tracy is selling some AMAZING things… she's not selling online yet but I bet soon she will be (I keep encouraging her to start an etsy shop!)… she does have a new blog though and GUESS WHO created her logo?

Bluebird Creations and Produce

Go check them out!

She made that SWEET little pillowcase dress for me from one of my Grandma's hand stitched pillow cases I've been hoarding here! I just am in love with it! I can't wait to get Parker's back from her (no pressure Tracy! I swear!)

Could Bailey look any cuter? I mean really.

And that's all I have for this Wacky Wednesday. It has been a long day and I am calling it a night!

Good night.
