I’m about ten days behind with this monthly update, as usual. BUT Carmendy is still 14 months old AND we took her photos on the actual date of her birth this month. So I’m kind of killing it this month, at least compared to my punctuality in the rest of my life. I should probably give this post… Continue Reading
This is definitely not a trick, but a really awesome treat! Halloween is one of my favorite holidays, and not just because of the availability of candy corn. With the spooktacular day coming up at the end of the month, I thought this is the perfect time to host a giveaway over on my Facebook… Continue Reading
Aaaahh. It’s fall. A time for spiced lattes, sweaters, pumpkin patches, and apple pies. A season filled with outdoor activities for families – festivals, hayrides, apple picking, corn mazes, pumpkin patch visits. Glorious days in the golden sun of autumn, playing in the falling leaves and savoring the crisp air. Yep, fall is here and… Continue Reading
Good news! I’ll be chronicling Carmendy’s second year of life monthly, so you’ll continue to see her cute pics every 30 days. Here’s our 13-month-old’s first second year report and photos. It’s a little late (okay, maybe two weeks late….but at least I’m posting this before she’s 14 months old!). This past month Carmendy reached… Continue Reading

I’m so excited to finally share Carmendy’s first birthday party with y’all! The sprinkles, sparkles and confetti birthday celebration was PERFECT for my baby girl, who loves all things tiny and shiny. Her bash was a small Friday evening get together with family but I still went a little crazy with the decorations, of course.… Continue Reading
She’s one! What a wonderful year it has been with our baby girl Carmendy. I tried to soak in every moment with her, knowing how quickly the days and months go by. And here I am trying to write a post about the very last month of her first year and I can barely remember… Continue Reading
Hard to believe, but Owen has been three for nearly a month. I swear we must have jumped through a wormhole because it feels impossible that I have a three year old and a one year old. While I find myself in the throes of deep sadness every time I think about how big my… Continue Reading

Owen is three! And to celebrate his big day, we threw him a party inspired by playtime outdoors. Owen loves playing outside, so this was the perfect theme for our little man — dirt, wagons, water guns, balls, bikes, worms, jump ropes and bugs galore! The theme was brought together with the colors, which were neon… Continue Reading
