As you may remember reading, I kind of blew the whole “celebrate-your-husbands-Masters-degree” thing by not really thinking enough ahead. We were tired and just ended up driving home, hubby didn’t even get to see some of his family. Sad… I know. We had planned on going to BJ’s for pizookies for dessert- so when we…
Mother’s Day Gift Guide for all budgets!
With Mother’s Day quickly approaching I thought it would be fun to compile some fancy gifts for Mom. One of my favorite things to do is buy gifts- especially if it is something I think they will LOVE. I always listen when I am with people and make mental notes throughout the year about possible…
Toddler Easter Basket- No Candy!
We do not need any sugar highs in this house- we have enough energy around here as it is! So, for Easter I like to come up with creative things to put in E’s basket without candy. I usually go through the dollar bins at Target, as well as their Easter section, then I head…
Oh Christmas Tree!
Every year we get a live Christmas tree. I like the simplicity, symmetry and ease of fake trees, but there is just something fun and exciting about buying a real tree, picking it out, bring it home and decorating it- and the best part- the smell! So this year we went and got our tree…

A light sprinkle for Baby G-2!
This past weekend my mom threw me a sprinkle for Baby G2. At first I was hesitant about a shower for a 2nd baby, especially since #2 is the same sex as #1, but many family members asked about it and wanted to buy us something so my mom asked if she could throw something…
Pom FAIL!
Well, the countdown is on and I am in FULL party preparation mode! E will be 1 year old this week, I just CANNOT believe it! That is a whole different weepy post though, that I will save for another day! This week I am rushing to prepare and finish all the final details for the…
Miss E’s Birth Story
Hi friends- I had a couple of minutes so I figured I should write should write a little before all of my days start blurring together. First off, thank you so much for all of your sweet comments. I am amazed at how much being a mom has changed me. In just the short amount…
A baby shower with my friends!
This last weekend my good friend Candace threw me a baby shower. It was such a sweet shower and I had a wonderful time with all my friends! I think you will see the butterfly theme as you browse through the photos. She did such a wondeful job of pulling everything together. We had chicken…
