Where does the time go!?

Today Madelyn is three months old and I find myself wondering "Where did the time go?" I remember everyone reminding me to cherish those precious tiny moments because they never last long enough. Well, you all were right! Each morning when I pick out an outfit for Madelyn to wear I find one of her newborn outfits that doesn't fit anymore. And now when I want her to sit in her once beloved bouncy seat, she cries until I put her in her big girl Bumbo. We took her for her three month photo session last week and here's a picture of our big girl (she decided she wanted to take serious pictures):


Since I told you about her once beloved bouncy seat and her new favorite Bumbo I thought I'd share these two pictures as well. In the one on the left she is about 6 weeks old and the picture on the right was taken a couple weeks ago. 


I've also been asking myself "Where does the time go?" in regards to my creative time these days. I've definitely had to adjust my creative time around Madelyn's nursing schedule, diaper changes, bath time, etc. etc. I think becoming a mom has really made me realize why so many of you love our Key Ingredients kits! Anything that saves me time and still allows me to be creative is a must-have! I wanted to get a head start on some post-holiday cards so I got out the December Key Ingredients kit last week. I often find myself with blocks of creative time (when Madi goes to visit grandma!) and so I like to get out all of the coordinating supplies and create a bunch of cards all at once. Here's what I came up with using this month's kit:

You can read all of the details about my cards and this month's kit over on the Key Ingredients blog! If you happen to be short on creative time (or maybe you just like to have all the ingredients coordinated for you!) I hope you'll consider subscribing to our kit club! The fabulously creative gals on our Key Ingredients design team will be posting projects on the KI Blog all week so make sure you stop by and check 'em out!

Thanks for stopping by today! I hope you all have a wonderful day!
