A lot of you ask me what miss Adrienne does when I am cooking/taking pictures of my cooking.
The broad answer would really be she plays. Sometimes she likes to help me cook. She also likes to take the dog for a walk around the house. She also likes to go up and down the stairs. She also likes to listen to music and dance.
But her most favorite of all activities is painting. On big rocks, on her belly, inside boxes, in the bathtub, or just on a big white piece of paper that I tape down to the coffee table (and move into the kitchen so the paint can go everywhere and I don’t have to scrub the carpets).
When in doubt, we paint.
[we like this paint, and this paper best]

Also, forgot to mention yesterday that I did a fashion guest post (ahahaha!) over at Gingham and Steel – head over and say hello!
haha I can already tell she’s going to be such a funny little girl! just by looking at her
Oh man, she IS hilarious. For sure the funniest girl I know.
You are such a good mama. Seriously – I just can never get over it.
ditto to what chelsey said!
Wow, thank you both!!
I do this type of thing with my preschoolers too–I tape down paper (usually parchment) to our tables, give them crayons, pencils, or markers to write with, and they write away! It’s great practice and they love that they get to write “on” the tables
I didn’t know you were a preschool teacher! I love that! My mama taught preschool for 25 years, so I think preschool teachers are the best ever.
yes, there’s never a dull moment! : )
I saw “kitchen painting” and thought you were painting the walls. This is WAY better
How fun. She is going to make some seriously incredible memories with a mama like you!
Too cute. Now I want to paint, too!
Come on over!
Adorable! My mom used to tape down newspaper on our kitchen table and let my sister and me have at it (though I was never nearly as interested as my sis). My sister is now going to school for interior design, and she still does art projects (painting & drawing, mostly) to reduce stress.
You may have a future artist on your hands!
Adrienne seriously lives the best life ever. I want to paint and cook and dance and play with dogs all day!

What a lucky little girl!
Wow, this reminds me of Keenan and I in the kitchen. He loves to color, dance and “help” me cook, too! I love the idea of taping paper to your coffee table and bringing it into the kitchen for her to paint, so you don’t have to worry about having paint everywhere. We usually just paint outside, but I’ll have to try this next time, especially since it has been cold and rainy lately. Keenan will love it!
An artist in the making!!
This makes me want to be a kid again.
Such a good idea!
In-house dog walking. And belly painting. Love it.
Oh my. I could just eat those little cheeks right up. I love what a good mama you are – it makes me smile so big
