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 January 2014.
READING : I'll Give You the Sun | Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?
PLAYING : with the film camera | with her toolset
WORKING : on the GET TO WORK BOOK | on pointing out animals
CARRYING : a crossbody bag | anything with a handle that fits her treasures
WEARING : all the neutrals | all the colors
I wonder if Medela knew just how much use those little carrying pouches were going to get!

Such sweet pictures 🙂
As a side note – I work as an engineer and any time I see a little gal with tool toys, my heart just swells!! I so appreciate the fact that you have these for her to play with!

My son was OBSESSED with the Brown Bear book. He LOVED it! Wasn’t quite as enthusiastic toward some of the other similar titles…
That tool set?! LOVE IT! We got my son a tool set for Christmas but my daughter loves playing with it more than he does. Where is it from? It looks Melissa & Doug-esque…
I wish they made Elleris’ floral leggings in adult size. THEY’RE SO DANG CUTE!

Oh how this post sucked me back to a very magical time with my little one. Brown Bear and that same Melissa and Doug toolset were huge parts of our lives.

Brown bear is currently my daughter’s favorite book as well. It’s all she wants to read lately. I think my son was obsessed with it at this age (14 months) as well. :p

You have inspired me to do something similar for my son & I. We are both “L”, and while he is 9 (already?!?!) he still manages to surprise me with his growth and changes (and general awesomeness) on a monthly basis. What a special project!

My kids loved Brown Bear too. And that reminded me, I wanted to mention. My kids’ favorite book was But Not The Hippopotamus, by Sandra Boynton. I have the journaling done for a layout I’m planning. I used to read it to them with funny voices. Michelle t

If Ellerie loves Brown Bear, you have to watch Miss Nina’s Brown Bear Rap! It’s the best! You won’t be able to read the book without singing her version. http://youtu.be/c091xxY1xZE Hope you like it.
