Newest Brown Baby Bird Item

 Here is my newest item for Brown Baby Bird. It is reversible fabric bag, with a cute Flamingo toy. I purchased the Flamingos from a new company (along with a small dinosaur toy. The dinosaurs are fine for a baby or toddler. I don't like the plastic eyes on the Flamingos for that age of child.) I might make some of these bags in other colors, but my price point isn't very good on them. I purchased a pattern for some other round baskets, that I also want to try. Anyway... I have three of these with three different prints. I originally sent one of these to Tammy Marsh, because she loves Flamingos and she has a 3-year-old granddaughter.  I currently have these at Homestead Handcrafts. They didn't fly of the shelf yet- lol. 😂

Back-to-School 2026

 Here are the back-to-school pics that I could gather up. Dallin is 10th (this is Dallin's first year of public school), Eli is 10th, Noah is 8th, and Luke is 4th. All of the other pics are labeled. Hailey is doing her senior year of home school. The other Christiansen kids are home school.

Utah Pics Andersons & Christiansens

 Andersons did a little vacation in August to Utah. They got to see Sam's family, Jaden, Nathan, and Christiansens. Some of the Christiansen pics are from the first bike race of the season for Dallin and Emmy. This was like the last fling of the summer before school starts for everyone. 

Jaden has a New Friend

 I guess, that's all I have to say about that right now. lol 😀😎😍

An Ending and a Beginning

 Ashley moved into our guest bedroom a couple of weeks ago... in preparation for them selling their house and Daniel and the kids moving into a smaller, rental house. She gradually moved some of her items here. The closing on the sale of the house is today and it's moving day. She did a post a few days ago about being the "last day of Miss Ashley's preschool". I know that is a super sad thing for her... but that is also the beginning of some new adventures for her. She has been searching for a job. It actually works out fine for her to be here with us. (An adjustment for me giving her "my" bathroom, and all of the Christmas decorations are still just stacked in our bedroom. Those came out of the closet in the guest bedroom.) But generally, our house is clean, peaceful and predictable, and includes trash pickup, towel washing, and meals- lol. We have been trying very hard to give her space and not ask too many questions. 😉😏

Sunflowers and Bees

 All of my red, white, and blue stuff is put away. August is sunflowers and bees. That goes perfect together.
