Back Yard Fun- Sweet N Chic Boutique

Sofia feeding her favorite chicken, Lucy.

We hang on tightly to the last few bits of summer. I cherish each and every day with this girl of ours. Yesterday, she tore through her closet and dressed up in this lovely little peasant dress from Sweet N Chic Boutique.

The dress was hand sewn by Diana and arrived here on Sofia's birthday! We are beyond impressed by the handwork in this outfit. There isn't a stitch out of line. Plus, the fabric combination is beyond adorable. I love how the little farm animals have a bit of chicken wire within the fabric print. It is wholesome and lovely!

I was waiting to take pictures of this outfit but Sofia had other ideas. So, instead, I just followed her around in our back yard as she played with the chickens. Watching her is a reminder of how quickly time passes. Wasn't it just yesterday that this same girl had a little yellow chick on her shoulder? Today, the girl is six and the bird is a three year old hen.

Funny how one tiny girl can make sweet friends with her animals. They gravitate towards her. I cannot begin to tell you how many critters this child has brought home. It used to suprise me. Not anymore! Dogs, cats, chickens, lizzards, turtles, frogs, and even a snake or two have all visited the house! I've accepted that this is just a part of her spirit and have had to conquer more than one fear.

I hope that the last days of summer are as peaceful and beautiful as ours. And look forward to sharing more of Sofia's adventures with you!
