9 Months and Counting!

Cade's about to turn 9 months old! He's sporting 4 teeth, a happy grin, and beautiful gray, blue eyes. He brings us so much joy.

Custom Order for Aileen O.

Custom order for three flower clips to match photos of dresses sent via email. I enjoyed putting this fun collection together.

Coronado Beach

Our girls love family time at the beach, especially with their cousins. The discovery of a long stripe of seaweed quickly turned a stroll along Coronado into a fun jump rope contest.

Someone is almost 8!

Lexi will be turning 8 and getting baptized soon. We took some special pictures of her yesterday for her invites. I had lots of fun making her flower belt and other accessories for this photo shoot. It was a beautiful day. The lighting was perfect!

Butterfly Blooms.

Lexi and Cali love their butterfly blooms! To place an order, please contact me directly at heather@rufflesandsprouts.com. Enjoy!

Tiny Dancer

I love how a simple thing, like a pretty new tutu, brightens up my daughter's day. I'm having so much fun making them for her.

Home School Preschool

It is so fun to watch Cali playing with her cousin. The two of them have a grand ol' time together, especially at our little home school preschool 3 times a week.
This past week, they studied the letter "B", colored butterfly masks, blew bubbles, made bumble bee necklaces, baked brownies, and rode bikes together. Along with kindergarten readiness, wonderful memories are being made this year.

Tutu Twirls

Several of my friends make adorable tutus for their girls. I decided to give it a whirl... Cali came with me to the fabric store and we rummaged up and down the tulle and organza aisle together until our cart was full of pretty colors. She LOVED all the teal and blues!



Lexi's dance studio colors are purple and black, so we decided to surprise her with a tutu made in these colors. So fun!

Petals, Feathers and Butterflies

I had so much fun putting this newest collection together. To place an order, please visit www.rufflesandsprouts.com or contact me directly at heather@rufflesandsprouts.com. Enjoy!

Second Grade!

Our beautiful second grader! It was so fun to see Lexi happy to be back at school this morning.

Lexi with her new teacher... It brightened my day at the end of Lexi's first day to see her come out of her new classroom with a huge smile on her face. Whew! We're off to a great start.

Girls each Debut a Sleek New Do

Both of our girls received adorable haircuts yesterday. Chlorine and sun damage take its toll each summer, so it's become a tradition to have at least four inches taken off before school starts each year. They were super excited to sport their new looks.

Lexi's hair seems to be getting curlier with each passing year. With the added weight of long hair gone, her hair bounced up in pretty waves.

Cali loves her new look! She tells everyone she has her hair cut just like her Aunt Stephanie now.
