Homemade wedding cake, DIY wedding flowers, and {bits & pieces}

July 22, 2017 By Rosie 24 Comments

homemade chocolate wedding cake flowers

The weekly “little of this, little of that” feature here at Like Mother, Like Daughter! Hi, it’s Rosie! I thought I’d pop in with just a few pictures from my brother-in-law’s wedding last weekend, for which my sweet new sister-in-law (who is a GEM, btw) had asked me to help with flowers and a cake. These… Read More »

Our newest baby girl.

March 22, 2017 By Rosie 44 Comments

It’s high time I introduced you to our newest little munchkin, who arrived quickly — nay even precipitously — twelve days ago. (If you follow me on Instagram, you’ve met her already, because it’s a lot easier to post a photo from my phone while nursing than to try to open up the computer and get… Read More »

We’ve got a bit of catching up to do.

February 9, 2017 By Rosie 21 Comments

So, you might perhaps have noticed an uptick in the number of grandchildren featured in Auntie Leila’s photos recently? Maybe you’ve been tracking our family’s doings on Instagram, and have figured out what’s going on, but I thought I’d pop in with an official update/catching up post to get everyone up to speed before this… Read More »

Oklahoma house tour, Part 2

November 18, 2016 By Rosie 11 Comments

We’re getting ready to welcome Capt. P home after a 6-week long field exercise (which homecoming is also my self-imposed deadline for a bunch of projects around the house, because some of us function much more efficiently with a deadline, and there’s nothing that says “welcome home” like organized closet shelves and curtains on the… Read More »

A house tour of our Okla-home (part 1)

October 27, 2016 By Rosie 33 Comments

Since at least two or three of you were so kind as to humor me when I offered to give a little house tour of a house we no longer live in, I am here to oblige with lots of photos. (One such reader, dear Clarice, is the one who called it our Okla home,… Read More »

p.s. we’re having another baby.

October 20, 2016 By Rosie 42 Comments

One more bit of catching up before I return to my regularly scheduled regime of sporadic and unreliable posting. We’re having another baby! To be precise, we are having another baby girl, despite Pippo’s many prayers for a baby brother. (“I’ve been trying and trying to make it a boy!”) He is awfully excited to meet her, even… Read More »

Starting to catch up.

October 11, 2016 By Rosie 34 Comments

Oh goodness. It’s been quite a while since I last checked in here, and a lot has happened. I only just now feel like I’m able to put my head up and look around. Let me explain. No, it is too much. Let me sum up. As you know, we sold our house in Oklahoma, and I… Read More »

A simple baby quilt or two.

June 21, 2016 By Rosie 15 Comments

One of the best parts about having a blog (even when you yourself are something of a delinquent blogger) is that every so often, you will be trying to remember how you solved some problem in the past, and you can ASK the INTERNET what you did, and the internet will KNOW, because you TOLD… Read More »
