A Tender Heart

the magic of motherhood

• Welcome!

  
  

  My name is Heidi and I'm thrilled you're here. Please join me in my fun, heart-warming and ever dramatic adventures as a young Mormon mom to the adorable Sirs Brother, Boots and Baby!

• Our 3 Little Wigglers!

  Boots, Brother and Baby! :):)

• Right now...

  • Today was our first "three egg day"! Two were on the ground-it's Easter! :) 1 week ago
  • Baby loves to crawl (or walk or both) to the door and call to the chickens, "Dah! Dah-dah! Dah!" 1 week ago
  • We got four new chickens on Saturday! Three beautiful, sweet buff orpingtons and a gorgeous silver laced wyandott (sp?). We love them! 1 week ago
  • On Sun., Baby was nursing furiously when he suddenly broke off, looked at me with consternation, loudly declared, "Der!" and then went back. 1 week ago
  • "I can't find your walker," Brother told me right after I got hurt, "But I'LL be your walker! I'LL help you up the stairs to get Baby!" 1 week ago
