Has it really been two weeks since my last post? Aaahh, sorry I’ve been MIA. I’ve been busy writing this extremely long post about Owen. Yep, he’s two and a half now and it’s time for another update on my silly boy. So much has happened in the past three months – it’s hard to… Continue Reading

Oh Boy! Bow Tie Sprinkle for Mitzi

Oh Boy! Bow Tie Sprinkle for Mitzi

A couple weeks ago, my group of mommy friends threw a surprise sprinkle for our dear friend Mitzi. I was delighted to help make decorations for the simple and sweet celebration. Mitzi’s expecting her second son and she never had a shower during her first pregnancy – we couldn’t leave her miss out on a… Continue Reading

Frosty Fun at Five Months Old!

Little Carmendy is five months old. And even though we’re in the midst of the long weeks of winter, the days are going by quickly! There’s barely enough time in one day to feed the kids, get them dressed, put them to bed, and clean up their accidents and blow-outs. The past few weeks were… Continue Reading

6 Photography Tips for Every Mom and Any Camera

6 Photography Tips for Every Mom and Any Camera

Since Owen was born, I have really developed a passion for taking photos. A LOT of photos. I am admittedly a mamarazzi. Owen has been photographed as often as an A-list celebrity in the past two years. I’m no professional photographer though; I’m just an amateur that has fun with her camera. But after taking over… Continue Reading

Carmendy has been 4 months for over a week now. And Christmas is only 6 days away. How did that happen? Time is speeding by.

Our little chunkster is three months old! And she has been for nearly two weeks. I’m just finally getting around to posting her monthly update – just in time for Thanksgiving!

He’s Back! Owen’s Quarterly Update {2 and 1/4}

He’s Back! Owen’s Quarterly Update {2 and 1/4}

Boy is my boy getting big! It’s been over three months since the last time I posted about Owen. I’ve missed writing about him and I bet you’ve missed reading about him (or maybe it’s just me and Richard that find him to be endlessly entertaining?). There’s so much to say about the past three… Continue Reading

Carmendy’s Baptism: A Simple and Sweet Celebration

Carmendy’s Baptism: A Simple and Sweet Celebration

Carmendy’s christening was truly a beautiful ceremony and celebration with our dearest friends and family. Our good little girl behaved her best and barely made a peep throughout the entire mass. She hardly noticed the water being poured over her head. There was some chaos of course. After all, Owen was present. The little nugget… Continue Reading

Baby Carmendy: Two Months Old and Too Cute

Baby Carmendy: Two Months Old and Too Cute

Another month has passed – time for an update on our littlest little! Baby Carm is growing rapidly and losing her newborn looks. Upon meeting her, almost everyone says “She’s a chubby one, isn’t she?” Apparently, feasting on my breast milk day and night is like chugging milkshakes for breakfast, lunch and dinner…the pounds pile… Continue Reading
