it’s not new news that Spencer eats a lot. I mean, a lot! he’s a big boy and I’m tired. he wakes up twice a night (minimum) and despite my attempts to soothe him, he’s starving. I know this because he chugs and eats a full meal when I give in and nurse him. I […]

fall snack mix
Snacks are life in our house… anyone else? This snack is a simple, versatile mix that you can work into each season. This Fall snack mix has been a big hit, especially because you can make it in large batches and enjoy it for days. This would be perfect to make before a cozy weekend […]
ditch candles for these fall essential oils
Fall just screams “cozy!” to me, and I love making my home feel cozy. Smell has a lot to do with that and in the past, I was all for burning scented candles to make that happen. Then I switched to diffusing and not only am I saving money (yes, saving money!), but my house […]

I don’t know about your household, but ours loves treats! We try to space it out so it truly is a special occasion and if I can make it into a theme, well… why not 😉 With Fall in the air, I put together these pumpkin patch pudding cups. Delicious, cheap and only a few […]
oh yeah… fall is here! i forgot.

paisley’s 2nd birthday day
Aaron came up with the idea to have Paisley pick everything we did on her birthday – from breakfast to our day’s activity. She got ready with a few of her accessories from her birthday party the night before and had a donut appetizer. For breakfast she chose Cracker-Barrel, and Mimi & Papa got to […]
spencer – 4 months old
4 months going on 9 months. I mean, this kid is big. And smiley. And sweet. And has my heart. Likes: his mirror friend (seeing himself in the mirror) being held by his sisters (for a little while) eating smiling talking his play-mat facing outward being held my mama getting a fresh diaper his bedtime […]
happy 2nd birthday paisley
Happy 2nd Birthday Paisley Alora! As I do with each birthday, I did a little photoshoot with the Birthday Girl. Playing off Paisley’s obsession with cows, I took her to a farm that had a calf. Aside from feeding it a couple handfuls of feed, she had little interest in taking pictures with it. However, […]
