Wanna win a 10 pack of my favorite cloth diapers? Don’t miss this smashing giveaway! Let’s take a moment to celebrate my sweet Max … 16 months is one of my favorite ages and he’s absolutely fulfilling all the fun I imagined. His personality is booming – he’s got the best mad face, a super […]
Earlier this month Jemma donned her “pwincess dwess” and “dancin’ shoes” and waltzed down the aisle of my dear friend’s wedding. Denise and I have been friends since college and I was so honored that she asked my girl to be a part of her wedding. The big day was September 8th at a gorgeous […]
Is it really possibly that I have a child in school. I think not. But, alas, I do. Jemma started preschool last week – a gaggle of sweet 3 year olds. And truly, that’s what they seem to be, a gaggle. Or roaming cats. I’ve also heard that term for a group of 3 year […]
Today is all about this little sassafras! It’s her first day of preschool so I thought I’d commemorate this fabulous milestone with a little ABCs inspired by Chelsea over at Sunny With a Chance of Sprinkles! I mean, I have to do something other than sit around and cry over my baby. Going to school. […]
Oh Bubba. A year old? Really? This past year has been a such a blessing. Such a joy. You have brought so much life into our family. So much laughter. Daddy and I couldn’t feel more honored to have you as our son. You’ve stretched me in so many ways – you’re making me a […]

Hey Bubs, Mama is kind of in denial about you being 11 months, just 30 days until THE BIG DAY. Your birthday! In so many ways you are still my squishy little baby. You love to snuggle, nurse and be close. Always. And I love it. Thanks for filling up my mama heart on the […]
The other day during one of our “please chill out and get a grip” just for fun baths, I decided to interview Jemma. She’s been talking up a storm lately and saying some of the darndest things. Some of our current favorites are how she says “soooo crunchy!” when describing food – namely cookies and […]
Oh, Max, your silly mama has gotten behind. That means three months in one post :) Let’s see … you’ve been a busy little dude! There is no doubt about that! Crawling – bear crawls are your specialty AND climbing up the stairs in record speed. Plus, you’re an eating machine – green beans, bananas, […]
Half birthdays have always been a celebration around here. Jemma’s second was no exception. I even cancelled her dentist appointment and took her for “pink birthday cake” which she had been incessantly requesting after watching a birthday episode of Dora. In anticipation for her dentist appointment we had been talking about the teeth doctor and […]
Oh, my dear boy … Seven months already, really? Well, 7 1/2 if we’re getting technical. Mama is behind on documenting things! We spent much of your 6-7 month being sick. It was awful, breaks my heart to see you sniffling and hear your little coughs. Good news is, we are well now and have […]
