I LOVE THIS!!!! Just wonderful, heartfelt journaling. Something every mother would love for their little ones to understand. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it girl. Into faves.
ahh Heidi.. what to say that already hasnt been said. Your layout and deisgn are gorgeous, the journaling is fantastic. I think you have developed a whole new scrapping style. Love it. :)
SHE MAY BE POUTING, BUT YOU KNOW IN A FEW DAY SHE WILL BE OVER IT. SHE WILL ALWAYS RESPECT YOU, AND KIDS REALLY DO WANT AND NEED BOUNDRIES. NOW FOR THE LO. OMG!!!! ANOTHER STELLAR LO. THIS IS LOVELY, GORGEOUS, BEAUTIFUL, AND INTO MY FAVS!!! OH YEAH, AND IN THAT PIC, SHE LOOKS LIKE CHRISTINA RICCI, DOESN'T SHE?
I love this! I think it is very true too. Saying no sucks, but sometimes it is for the best. I love how you captured this parental moment on a page. Lovely, lovely, lovely!
The journalling is just beautiful and what a gorgeous page. I have to say your dd is just stunning so you're going to have to be strict lol, makes me happy I have sons.
love this!! the design, colors, pic and especially the journaling!!!!! the best piece of advice I got when my kids were little: "You're their mother, not their friend. If you stand by the tough decisions now, friendship and respect will come when they grow up!" And its true!!!!
Beautiful design, and I love that pout. I've seen two just like that. The funny part is when they say they will never be like you, and then around 25 they start turning out just like you.
I love your journaling on this. I so remember the same looks on my daughter's little face. They do finally "get it" as they get older. But, boy-oh-boy its not always pleasant until they get to that point! Beautiful work!
Love it..the journaling is direct and thoughtful and the lo is beautiful and from what you said I think that is an "Ahna" expression...just like my little one has...sometimes we just have to say no and they give us the not happy with it face!
Beautiful LO! I love the journaling and I so understand! I have two teenager dd and have gone through many issues. I wish I could say it is easy but it is worth the lessons learned!
Ah, the expression on that face is priceless, and the thing that scares me most about my little girl growing up! The journaling is so touching and hopefully someday she will understand and thank you for it! AND the LO is beautiful! Into my fav's!

This is for the GHI Challenge: G- Grosgrain Ribbon H- Hearts (very tiny in the flourishes on the flowers, they are little and red. :) I- I love you
Journaling: So here's the thing my daughter... this is not going to be the last time that you are NOT going to understand why I made the decision that I did. My job, in addition to loving you, is to protect you. And there are going to be some things that I am going to have to say no to, regardless of whether or not you understand. One day you will be old enough to "get it" and hopefully then you will respect me for making the decisions that I did in years past. I love you more than life itself Ahna, and for that reason, when discomfort lodges in my heart and gut... I WILL say no. I believe that is one of God's ways of telling me how to answer... and I hope this is something that you become responsive to as well. Everything I do is in the best interest of you, beautiful, wonderful, child. Pout if you will, but above all, remember that.
