Remember when you thought your life was vastly different from those of celebrities?  Well, guess again!  Just like those of you who are Starbucks junkies, Jennifer Garner and daughter, Violet, were recently seen leaving Starbucks and enjoying some mother/daughter bonding time. 

The pair was bundled up in winter coats and Violet was keeping warm with nice wool mittens.  When your child reaches the walking stage, make sure you have the perfect footwear for your little ones.  Play shoes are great for roaming near home outside and also for in the home.  Dressier shoes work best for formal occasions.  And, for winter, boots are always a good idea to avoid slips and trips in the ice and snow!

 Seriously, how cute is Jennifer Garner’s little girl, Violet? The mom and daughter pair were recently spotted playing in Palisades Park.  It looks like the two have been spending a lot of time outdoors and enjoying the last few weeks of summer.  Garner is also mom to a 7-month old daughter with husband Ben Affleck.

     For all Foo Fighter fans out there, not just one baby is expected, but two! Dave Grohl and Taylor Hawkins are both expecting a second child!
     Dave Grohl and wife Jordyn Blum will have another girl to join big sister Violet, 2. Big brother Oliver,1, will guide the new baby of Taylor Hawkins and wife Alison.
     With the growth of children amongst the group, I hope tours and album releases won't suffer. However, overall, Congratulations!

Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck revealed the name of their new baby girl. Seraphina Rose Elizabeth Affleck joined her sister Violet, 3, on January 6th. There was no explanation why they named her that or if she was named for someone special. Seraphina is a Hebrew name meaning "Ardent".

From the six-winged celestial being, a seraphim, who appeared to the prophet Isaiah in the Bible, proclaiming "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty. The whole Earth is filled with his glory." It's a unique and other-worldly choice.

Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck welcomed another baby girl on Tuesday. They also have another daughter, Violet, who was born in December 20005.

Jennifer's rep said, "Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck gave birth to a healthy baby girl." Looks like they will have to keep trying to have a little boy in the house.

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner are eagerly awaiting the arrival of their second child. They have reportedly purchased a $16 million home in California to make room for their expanding family.

The pair has made plans to settle in their new Los Angeles home where they are preparing for the birth of their second child. Affleck and Garner already have a two year old daughter, Violet. According to Us Weekly magazine, the 9,900 square foot estate includes seven bedrooms, seven baths, six fireplaces, a brick wine cellar, a library, three-car garage, and swimming pool. Construction on this magnificent home is scheduled to be completed before Garner, five months pregnant, gives birth.

Affleck and Garner will join their famous neighbors Tobey Maguire and Ricki Lake in the posh Brentwood area.

Having a child is one of the most life-changing things one can do. And, if you're an artist, it seems to elevate your craft to new heights. 

Dave Grohl is giving his baby daughter Violet full credit for transforming his writing style. The Foo Fighters’ founder and frontman says the birth of his first child last April gave his lyrics a more personal, often confessional tone.

“Having a child made me feel like a superman in a way because I had to be,” says Grohl, 39. “Just as I can’t be afraid to ride the Spiderman roller coaster at Magic Mountain when it’s time, I can’t be scared of writing things that I really feel. There are a lot of things that I kept myself from saying over the years.”

The Foo Fighter's current album, Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace, does include deeply introspective lyrics.

All together now: AWWWWWWW! Along with Apple and Kingston, Violet Affleck gets the nod for most adorable famous tot! We love how normal of a life mom Jennifer Garner strives to give her. She takes Violet out everywhere, it seems, and they always have a blast together.

Here's your daily Violet watch: The cute two-year-old nibbling on a bagel and riding her trike in NYC yesterday.

According to an insider, Violet's personality is as beautiful as she is. "She is so inquisitive and full of life," family pal Victor Garber tells Us. Violet "is the most verbal child." She can  "When You Wish Upon A Star!"

Seems Jennifer Garner is always out and about in NYC with her mini-me, Violet! Here she is taking a leisurely stroll through the streets with fellow celeb mom, Keri Russel, and her son River.

Keri has always favored baby slings for River.

Little Tayla Daly became the sixth generation in an unbroken line of women her family, when she was born in Cambridge, New Zealand on November 16.

Her forbears are: great-great-great-grandmother Margaret Gringles, 94, her daughter, Violet Stevens, 74, Vivian Mead, 54, Leonie Mead, 34 and Amber Mead, 18, who gave birth to Tayla.

All live in Cambridge.

Wow!
