Jemma’s Big Sister Babymoon

New babies bring lots of changes. And not just for me and Dominic, for our whole family. The big kids are very much anticipating this new baby, but I think they’re sensing the growing responsibility of having a new little one around too. Currently they tag team Reid like champs. That boy can’t get in […]

Reid — 18 Months Old + a Giveaway!

  My Reid, my little love.  For 18 months now you’ve been such a light in our family. A constant smile. A joyful laugh. A funny bundle. Seeing your personality come alive is our favorite thing. You dance and sing, love Mickey Mouse, and would spend all day, every day outside if you could.  And […]

Style File — Heat Wave

September babies mean one thing … a summer filled with the third trimester and massive efforts to stay cool.  And, I’m really, really good when it comes to complaining about the heat. Like, if my lamenting wasn’t so annoying, I could probably win some kind of award for all the heat-hating reasons I think on a […]

28 Weeks

  Petunia dress c/o Paisley Raye, shop more Paisley Raye pretties here! Helloooooo third trimester! I can’t believe you’re back … again. I’m totally tired, feel GINORMOUS, and am oh so thankful that it rained again today. One more day I haven’t had to survive the sweltering summer heat — hallelujah! I keep thinking that […]

Style File — This Is Everyday

Whenever I post mama style photos I get the sweetest comments. And it makes me feel happy, of course. Who doesn’t like to hear that they’re pretty and pulled together and portraying pregnancy with grace?!? But are fancy, styled photos my everyday? No, not quite. Like, once every 10 days or so I get really […]

Little Walker Perfection + a Freshly Picked Giveaway!

Reid threw me for a loop when he didn’t start walking around his 1st birthday.  When we saw his pediatrician at 8 months he was standing and walking along furniture and she said he would be walking steady real soon. Love her, but she obviously wasn’t clued in to Reid’s timeline. Reid was 15 months […]

Style File — Winter Grey

I don’t get seasonally depressed, I more get seasonally annoyed. My van filling up with coats and hats day after day, preschool drop off in the rain, wet carts at Target.  Really, in the grand scheme of things, no big deal, but still, definitely annoying. The kids and I end up doing a lot of […]

A Castle Full of Disneyland Outfits

Still living on the high from our 2015 Disneyland trip, Jemma and I spent almost a month planning our outfits for Disneyland this year. From tees, to jewelry, to ears, and, of course, princess dresses, we stuffed our suitcases and lived it up the whole time we were there. Hope you enjoy a few snapshots of […]

Disney-Inspired Favorites V.1

Last week we told the kids about our upcoming Disneyland trip! I planned a quick scavenger hunt with clues that led them these “You Are Going To Disneyland” certificates. It was a hit! Jemma freaked. Like rolling on the ground screaming. We even saw some happy tears! And, in true Max form, he rolled his […]
