I have a little girl that is constantly coming up with different projects and telling me that she is going to sell them in her own shop.
The name of her shop (to be) will be Bluebird.
She wants to sell bracelets, necklaces, headbands, eye shades and pretty much anything else she can come up with.
Our poor neighbors have been sold many things over the years (without my knowledge).
This past weekend Madolyn came up with her new headbands and asked me to be her model.
So…I was the model…Maddy was the photographer.
It was actually hard to be serious.
We were laughing the whole time.
For the record…that is confetti in my hair..not dandruff. Wanted to clarify!
There may be a reason that the Ford Modeling Agency has never contacted me.
If you are ever looking for a totally groovy headband…I've got connections with the artist!
I love that she is a dreamer.
She is a wonderful writer.
Her mind is always coming up with wonderful stories, ideas, creations.
I hope we do a good job encouraging her to truly fly.
What a cool Mom you are:) And I love that your daughter has big plans…she sounds like a true go-getter!
Don’t you just love how are kids can be such an inspiration to us?? You are setting an amazing example for your daughter, she will fly…with creativity and kindness, just like you!
You WILL do an amazing job encouraging her to fly! 🙂 Go Madolyn! Love the “let the sun shine in” headband!! And I think Ford missed it by not calling jeanneoli. What is wrong with those people?
Sounds like your daughter has a mother that sees the amazing possibilities in her & fosters this artist when ever possible.
How lucky are you to be able to go on this journey with her!
Maybe she will be just like her momma.
I just wanted to say your daughter is very beautiful. She has such a sweet face.
Blessings~
Where’s your signature pursed lips pose?? You were close in that second pic, but no cigar.
I love creative kids!! I can see Calvin going down this same road before long…
Madolyn is beautiful and looks very much like you!
Please tell your totally creative daughter that I would like one of her “totally groovy” headbands. Love this:)
It is my sense that you are doing a good job in assisting her to fly! Such a fun post and gorgeous headband too~
Ahhh, she is such a beautiful little girl and I love her dream! I also love the title of her someday shop. I’d say this little dreamer has a great example that she is following in her mommy! Way to go mommy for passing on the desire God put inside of her to create and go for her dreams. This little bluebird is gonna fly high when she leaves the nest someday.
You sport the beautiful headband very well!

so cute…i can’t wait to see more of her stuff!
You are too cute! I think the hippie look suits you:) Like mother like daughter.
She looks just like you, only a brunette. She’s precious!
Jeanne, your Madolyn sounds like an amazing young lady…so sweet that she has big dreams…she is sure to go far…your daughter has a flair for photography too…i love those pictures…and you are totally adorable:)
Wow, this really brings me back to my childhood. I was always setting up shop and dreaming about making things. My mom always gave me the encouragement to fly with my dreams and the foundation of her love to come home to. It was a true blessing and a gift from God that she let me be a dreamer. Now, I’m in my twenties and I can see my creative childhood dreams starting to come to life. And my mom is still cheering me on! 🙂
Beautiful post!

I think your little one is taking after her Mom! She is beautiful.
please tell me
do all your loved ones appreciate your hilarious sense of humor?
surely they do
oh crazy confetti haired woman
ps–thanks for the bag scoop, i’m probably driving you crazy. i;m such a tactile person that without seeing this bad boy its been hard to make the decision & for so much moola too!!
& i want a new wide angle too
xo
Hehe! Sounds like me when I was little. My Mom was constantly chauffeuring my sister and I around to craft malls to sell our creations.
groovy!! way to go, maddy!
She is just beautiful! You are the best mom.
She is so talented! If she is anything like her mommy, not only will she fly… she will soar!!! ;-))))
Blessings!

Love, love, love it. Although I don’t know much about you, my guess is that she is a little apple that didn’t fall far from the tree. So sweet…could her eyes be more gorgeous?!
So cute…..I love that she is creative and has dreams at her age! I was like that as a child. Now I’m almost 40 and just starting to make my entrepreneurial debut. It’s funny, the more creative you start being, the more creative you become!
p.s. Love the name Bluebird for her little shop-to-be!
I’d say Maddy is a chip-off-the-ol’-block. It makes me happy to hear that she is inspired by you and following in your footsteps. What a wonderful example you are, Jeanne ~ something to be very proud of indeed. xo
She’s so blessed to have a mama like you! I bet I know where she gets her creative genes from!!! 🙂
Jeanne, i just saw your gorgeous ruffled tote featured on crescendoh!!! you GO girl:) and congratulations…i think you better plug in that sewing machine and get busy:)
What a sweet, sweet girl. She looks just like you , I think. I love that you posed for these pics. And it definitely made me giggle because my 9 year old daughter has been making earrings and selling them to her friends for $1.
Jeanne,
Your kids are so cute! You look like you have a great time being a mom. I think you make a groovy hippie!!
Hugs,
Suz
Awww…(Mom, you are a good example to her!)
And those beautiful sea green/blue eyes! What a cutie!
I think that’s awesome!

Thank you for clarifying. I was a little concerned…those are some pretty hefty flakes. Maddy is such a little creative beauty. She sure takes after her mama!
Have a lovely week, shopgirls.
: )

Hmmmm….I wonder where she gets it from. OK this is weird, my 11 year old made a braided headband and wore it to church today. Must be a new fashion trend. Are you sure it’s not dandruff??? Have a blessed day.
where EVER did she get such a creative spirit? 🙂
i think we all know.
have fun with her.
What a gorgeous and talented little girl. She is so blessed to have such a fun creative and encouraging Mommy. She is going to soar!
And btw. Ford is missing out on some fabulous talent. Who needs them anyways 😉
Many Blessings to you both,
Molly
She is following in her sweet mom’s foot steps! And you are the best mom to teach her to FLY!!
xo,
LuLu
Your darling daughter is a beauty. Your words are sweet!
Have a happy day. xo
How cute is that…hmmm…I wonder where she gets all her creativity from ;o)
How awesome is that she is taking after you?! I love it. More than anything she sees in you that you CAN have it all…healthy family life, good marriage AND your own dreams and creative plans.
I love this, Jeanne! …and your “happenin headband”..
xo
Lara
Too. Stinkin’. Cute!!!
She is certainly her mother’s daughter!!! Beautiful creative and darling! She’s without dandruff of course!
She and Lauren can team up! Her store is called The Tooth-fairy. She has business cards made up and tags for her items! They could really take the neighbors for a ride!
Hi Jeanne! Ask you daughter if she would like to do a “barter” for my daughter’s wares….
That’s fantastic! Love the headband!! 😉
