an archived personal and craft blog from Elise Blaha Cripe.
I will be documenting Ellerie's second year by photographing some mama and baby favorites each month.
This is what Elise and Ellerie are doing in November 2014.
READING : Yes, Please | Menagerie
LEARNING : how to knit a sweater | how to "help" in the kitchen
EATING : brie and crackers | tortillini
PLAYING : with packaging ideas | with watercolors
WEARING : cowls | all her pairs of shorts at the same time (mostly over her pants and on her head)
I’m reading Amy’s book too and it’s been really enjoyable. I love her honesty with everything. I can’t wait to see what you have to say about it!

I love that e loves tortellini! My 4 year old daughter will eat spaghetti and ravioli but not tortellini…even when it has the same filling as ravioli…weirdo 😉
Seriously, though, these posts are the best! Have you ever thought about starting an E & e mini album? You could divide it by month (obvs), and just print these post photos as 6x4s and slip them in – or you could print each as its own 6×8 and slip yours on the left side of the spread and hers on the right!
I do something similar with my kids’ weekly show and tell items. I’ve rearranged it a bit from how it appears in the post, so that I can include multiple iterations of each letter and a photo of each new items she brings every time we cycle through the alphabet: http://www.lifeoutloud.kelseymcevoy.com/2014/04/show-and-tell-mini-album/

You know that this is my favorite series… ever!
Look at little Ellerie eating (what looks like) spinach tortellini! She doesn’t seem to be a picky eater at all. Is there anything she doesn’t like? 🙂

she will eat anything, but is picky about WHEN. so spinach tortellini might be great tuesday for lunch but not thursday for dinner. Or tomatoes are wonderful wednesday night but awful friday night. it’s like a random guessing game that 9 out of 10 times I lose at. 😉

That is so awesome about the shorts!!!
When I was growing up, because of work I basically lived with my grama. I remember one time putting on all my underwear at once. I remember counting 26 of them!
I had to pee REALLY bad. Dance and all.
I stood in front of the bathroom taking them off one by one instead of just taking off the very top one.
To this day, one of my favorite memories!
It’s amazing how much I remember from my childhood!
