I'll push myself up through the dirt and shake my petals free
I'm resigned to being born and so resigned to bravery.

The Lily Chronicles: The Art of Eating Food

I’m not really sure how to say this other than to just blurt the unpleasant truth:  Lily is a bit messy when eating.

“Hey Mom, I swear I didn’t eat any candy while you were gone.”

“No, that’s not yogurt all over my face.  I just have a very glow-in-the-dark complexion."

“Thanks for the pumpkin-chocolate cookies, Grandma.  I’ll have 16 more.  You’re really great, I mean that sincerely.”

I would wholeheartedly follow an Instagram or Tumblr feed dedicated to your Lily...if only for your captions. These are hilarious.

Loving the Lily Chronicles! There's a small part of me that secretly wishes I could eat that way.

I don't think I would recognize her without her special edible makeup on.

I keep trying to make a comment on these posts but my kids are too busy going over and over them and laughing their heads off. They quote her shenanigans to each other and laugh again. Bryn has shown them to every friend that has been over to our house. The Lily Chronicles are a huge hit at our house.
