Motherhood Update: Ollie at 6 months, Annie at 2 (almost 3)

My how time flies when you're sleep deprived and loving every most minute having two littles. Time is so precious these days and while I wish I could pause it or get more of it, we keep rolling at what feels like lightening speed. There are many things I did for Annie and just haven't [...]

I decided to embrace my mom bod – and here’s what happened

Growing up I always wanted to wear the two-piece. For years, my parents wouldn’t allow me to wear one that showed too much skin (not mad at that now that I have my own daughter) and then once I was older and very much could, I didn’t care too. Why? Because I wasn’t the skinny [...]

in His perfect timing: Ollie’s birth story

in His perfect timing: Ollie’s birth story

Fact: my babies are notoriously cozy in utero and I dare say too cozy. Our daughter, Annie, finally made her appearance six days after her due date but I reasoned she was our first so our second would come on time, maybe even early. Valid reasoning, right? I will never forget the look on my [...]

Dear Mom – I’m so thankful you’re living to see the day

Dear Mom – I’m so thankful you’re living to see the day

“I pray I live to see the day you’re a mama.” Mom said that to me at least three times a week from the time I was old enough to complain and roll my eyes. I didn’t understand why she wouldn’t let me say that or do that or wear that or hang out with [...]

• ELEVEN MONTHS • I’m not sure how our little santa baby could be any sweeter and I am in complete denial that he’s almost a full year old. God gives good gifts and we are so thankful for this healthy, happy little boy. ❤️🎅🏻
Annie: I want the new sparkly bwue snowflake Elsa dress from the new Fwwozen on Christmas night pwease. 🎅🏻Ollie: I want out of here. 🎄 Santa said they’re both on the nice list. ❤️
I had big plans for getting all the things done while the kids napped today but then this almost one year old fell asleep on me and I couldn’t bear to move him. I soaked it all in. Is there anything better than a baby napping on you with a Christmas tree twinkling beside you? I think not. ❤️🎄
Ollie’s first Thanksgiving and after trying Nana’s turkey, fresh cranberry salad and dressing, he worked it all off by spreading toys all over with his big sister. We have so much to be thankful for and today I’m especially thankful for a healthy family and homemade pumpkin pie. 🦃❤️🥧
Annie’s first school performance is in the books! We are so thankful for her sweet teachers and friends at Playschool and for programs like this one that made me happy cry a little into my coffee. 🦃❤️
she is pure magic 💙
