so it’s january. which means my sweet adorable baby will be one soon. what?!? i knew this day was coming soon but man it feels like this past year went by sooo fast. i know we all say that, but seriously. so a new project (because i don’t have enough going on already)….preparing for her first birthday party!!

it’ll be a fun, family filled party. ALL of our immediate family is coming!! so excited! pretty sure last time that happened it was our wedding day. anywho, it’s going to fun! and all handmade! well for the most part. so let the little projects begin because i have less than 2 weeks to plan/prepare! and yes, i have been stalking pinterest like it’s my job. so thank you pinterest for helping me and at the same time making my life harder with alllll these awesome ideas. you can see my party ideas on pinterest here! (it may or may not be a rainbow theme) :)

**if you have any ideas to share then please do!!! or even just some advice on the whole 1st birthday shenanigan. i’m a rookie.

so be prepared to read a few posts about miss P’s birthday bash. oh, and i might have gone overboard on the researching inspiration ideas because i already have ideas for future birthday parties! ha.

9 & 10 months

Category: baby | November 23rd, 2011





soo i’m a slacker and didn’t take 9 month pics. booo. but here are a few of her when she was 9 months. such a ham!! the last two pics crack me up! the rest are her 10 months. these were taken at her BFF’s 1st birthday party…which will be another post itself. :)








this girl is such a goof. she’s sooo active. (i think her gym class helps with that) ;) she crawls everywhere around the house, following us from room to room. she loves to talk, and i really think she can say dog. ah-dorable. she loves her molly panda, even if molly walks away when she comes near her. haha. she loves to stand up and walk along holding on to stuff. she also does squats too. pretty impressive. already building up those muscles. :) she loves food. just like her mama. except for vegetables. just like her daddy. sigh. she loves being with her family and playing with her friends. oh and she loves to play in the dirt and tries to eat rocks. awesome. she’s getting so big! excited for her first Thanksgiving and for her to try lots of new foods! :)

**see her little onesie? i bedazzled it for her. i’ll show you how/why in a post coming up!

Inglesina table chair

Category: baby, everyday | October 26th, 2011

just a little suggestion for the little ones….coolest chair ever!


i got this hook on/table chair by Inglesina today (wished i got it sooner) and penelope LOVES it. how can a baby love a chair? lol well she’s not squirming around and fussing to get out after 3 minutes like her other high chair. she was in it the first time for like 30 minutes while she ate lunch and i cooked and cleaned the dishes. i love it on our counter. we get to bond over cooking and cleaning. PLUS it’s a space saver and it’s mobile…as in you can take it anywhere. so just a random thought for the mamas. great purchase! oh and molly panda is a big fan of it too. ;)

*thanks katy and hadley for the inspiration!! :)

8 months and sweet berry farm

Category: baby, everyday | October 1st, 2011

a little late on the 8 months pics but better late than never!! this morning we met up with some sweet families that i am so thankful to know and went to this cute little place called sweet berry farm. we haven’t been there before but knew i needed to take my camera. sooo long story short here’s a whole bunch of photos! ;) again, it was so hard to narrow down…but i wanted to save y’all from 100 pictures of P, so here’s just 21. ;)













(out of about 20 shots of the kiddos, this is the best one. hahaha. i love bailey’s face. i’m sure you can figure out who bailey is) :)



P had such a great time! she loved the goats and the horses, and trying to eat the flowers…and taking things from baby Hadley. oh man. gotta work on that. ps….all those flowers=$3! it was 3 bucks to fill up a cup. i filled it up as much as i could. haha. now they are spread out around the house to enjoy!

**and a big thank you to the mister for so lovingly coming along and helping out with P while i take a million pics. :)

pool girl

Category: baby, everyday | August 30th, 2011


this girl. she cracks me up. she loved her first visit to the bumble bee lodge. she especially loved the pool. she pretty much spent the entire time we were there in or near the pool. all she wanted to do was splash with grandma and stand up in the water. (ps. her legs are darker than mine. lol. that’s from our morning walks with her legs sticking out in the sun in her stroller) maybe she will be crazy pool lovers like her cousins. :)





hehe. love her. ok…we had our summer pool fun, now i’m ready for winter. ;)
