The beginning of our first week with Paisley was spent in the hospital. Once we got home, we were greeted by a very excited big sister who begged to hold her new baby sister. Life continued as usual… with slightly less sleep of course 😛 Because of the industry Aaron was working in (food service), […]

paisley’s birth story
I had been having off and on contractions for a couple of weeks, and there were a couple of times I thought I was in the beginning stages of labor only to be disappointed when the contractions suddenly stopped. At my 38 week appointment my doctor offered induction, and with my fluid a 7 (5 […]

our one-on-one dates with the girls + our last family day as a family of 4

being the shaver crew || july 2019

Real life, however, was a frantic mess. July was consumed by personal deadlines and Aaron got a job so our […]
our trip to texas

july 4th, 2019

I’m recapping our 4th of July over a month late 😛 The day started off with a delicious breakfast – our attempt of Hawaiian french toast, eggs with sausage and a patriotic fruit tray. It was delicious and extremely filling. From there I thought it would be fun to […]
our maternity session – paisley
Maternity photos are one of those shoots I make a priority, and it has become a tradition for my incredible sister-in-law to take them and I love it. Not just because of the photos, but I feel like it’s become a special act of love that I never take for granted. I think maternity photos say […]
