:: September Sponsors ::

is it seriously September already? time needs to slow down. like really slow down!

seeing that its the beginning of the month, i’m here today to post about my monthly sponsors. now i know that some of you might skip right over these posts, or even unsubscribe as a follower because you don’t care to see anything on here but recipes or sewing tutorials or birthday parties. i get it! i really do! but i have to tell you that those recipes or tutorials wouldn’t happen if it weren’t for my sponsors. they are a huge blessing to me, as a stay at home mommy blogger. they have provided a very small income for me, which has allowed me to do some of those extra things, like decorate a nursery, and tell you all about it! so i am so grateful for them! these sponsors and those of you who check them out and support their businesses are like a little community of people who are all leveraging what God has given them and done for them, and in turn blessing each other in the process! so thank you…for your sponsorships and for those of you who support them, and in turn support me

as always, you can click on their name or on their picture to be taken to their site or shop. and if you have any interest in becoming a sponsor and want more details, just email me at asmallsnippet{at}gmail{dot}com.

:: Hupernikao ::

Hupernikao® (hoop-er-nik-ah’-o) is a new fitness apparel brand with one purpose: to inspire people to get out of survival mode, take up their shield of faith, and conquer their battles. The word “hupernikao” (a Greek verb) literally means “defeat soundly, prevail mightily, more than conquer.” It comes straight from Romans 8:37: Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.

Your battle – whatever it may be – may feel like it’s crushing you. But the truth is, there’s a conqueror inside you…and that’s a promise from God .

Shipping charges are such a bummer, so for a limited time, get free shipping with orders over $30 with promo code “asmallsnippet”!

:: Wendolina ::

All “Wendolina” rag quilts are reversible. One side is finished and the other side has exposed seams that are snipped and fray to create the shabby chic look. Both sides are made using designer 100% cotton fabrics so they can be displayed on either side. Each square is sewn with a lightweight, natural cotton batting in the middle. Every quilt is washed once to start the ragging process. They can be machine washed in cold water and machine dried. The more you wash and dry them, the raggier and softer they will become. Use the code SNIPPET10 for a 10% discount, just for A Small Snippet readers.

thanks for checking them out!

the first few weeks

to say we are loving life with this precious new addition would be an understatement. we are consumed by her. its hard to put her down. people come over to visit and as soon as they leave, we are anxious to get our own hands back on her. we miss her when we aren’t the ones holding her! i know there will be a day when i’m gonna have to let her nap in her crib, but its just so much fun for now to let her nap in my arms! (i’m sure that’s gonna get old, but i have to enjoy it while i can!)

i’m slowly sifting through all the pictures from her first two weeks, so i’m posting a few today. we had a friend who is an amazingly talented professional photographer (you might remember her from here) come over last weekend and take family photos, so once i get my hands on those, i’ll be sure to share! but for now, enjoy a quick glimpse into our life the last few weeks!

Berkeley is a tiny peanut, just like her sister.

her last weigh in was at 2 days old, and she clocked in at 5 pounds 14 ounces. she is tiny! we go tomorrow to have her weighed at her 2 week appointment, and i can’t wait to see what she’s up to!

Jake captured this shot in the hospital of her getting her footprints made:

she pretty much captured our hearts right away:

everyone keeps saying how much she resembles her big sister. they do have similar mannerisms too! i happened to catch this the other day:

this kid’s hair is my favorite! i know it won’t always be like this, but i’m loving the craziness of it!

i’m usually not a huge fan of obnoxiously large headbands on a small little head, but i do love this picture. almost all of Berkeley’s headbands are huge on her little body at the moment, so we are making do. but i’m sure she’ll grow into them before we know it.

my girls were catching up on their day the other afternoon after Bella got home from school. i anticipate many many years of girl talk!

i might be opening up a can of worms by mentioning this, but we are big fans of the book Baby Wise. it just works for our family, and although there are some things i don’t love about the book, i think the general concept is amazing. i do NOT believe its the only way to parent, or even the best for everyone, but we love it and fully intend to use it for Berkeley. both Canaan and Bella were “Baby Wise Babies” and sleeping through the night by 9 weeks, which God knows i need, because when momma is tired, i honestly cannot function nor be the mom that i need to be for my kids. i am hopeful that Berkeley adapts just as well, and as it seems she’s already put herself on a schedule, i’m hopeful that she might just be the easiest one yet…we’ll see! i am refreshing myself on it this week, and maybe one day soon i’ll post a mini-Baby Wise tutorial…what we’ve implemented, what we’ve done differently from the book, and how its seriously changed our family

i picked up this Moby Wrap at a garage sale for $3.00, and it might be the best $3 i’ve ever spent. Berkeley loves it, i love it, and i’m thinking it’ll be perfect for being on the sidelines of Canaan’s football games this fall.

and…these precious, but very energetic ones, headed back to school. i am usually very sad for school to start, but the timing this year was perfect, as it has allowed Berkeley and I to adjust to life together without the busyness and noise that summer brings we miss them during the day though, and i swear that Berkeley lights up when they come home.
