Back to Work I went back to work Monday and my first week went well! Mostly it was nice getting back into a routine since my maternity leave consisted of way too many days in PJs, a topknot and copious amounts of HGTV (like, to the point where I want to move to Waco and have Chip and Joanna Gaines renovate a house for us or be Joanna's ...

Our Christmas Weekend
What a lovely first Christmas we shared as a family of four! We spent the last few days having my in-laws here so we could all celebrate together in our new home. Speaking of which, click here if you'd like to see this year's holiday decor! On Christmas Eve, my mother-in-law, Harper and I took a ride to River Oaks to check out all of the beautiful ...
Lincoln Grey: Two Months Old!
Another month has gone by and sweet Lincoln is two months old, and once again, I can't quite believe it. He is such a sweet baby--- he loves to snuggle and be held and (thank God) just like his sister, he loves to nap during the day. In the past month, he's become more alert and has a little more awake time. He also smiles and has even let ...
Our Weekend…
Our Christmas cards from Minted came in and I couldn't be happier with how they turned out! The scalloped edges and metallic gold lettering are so pretty. Our family photo session may have been a little crazy, but everyone is (sort of) looking at the camera. Kind of. If you didn't get a chance to create a holiday card--- a New Year's card is a ...
Our Weekend…
I took Lincoln's 2 month photos this weekend, and OMG, this face. More to come this week. Since I'm going back to work in a few weeks, I decided that I better deal with my hair now while I have the time off. I hadn't dyed my roots in about a year and I definitely have a few several grays now (thanks hormones and getting older). You can barely ...
Our Weekend…
This weekend was all about taking it easy and resting. I was so thankful to just be home with my family and though there were a ton of "to-dos" on my list, I left most of them for another day. We attempted to take some Christmas card photos this weekend and it was a total disaster. I had photos booked with Ailee last weekend but the weather was ...
Update: My Second Postpartum D&C Surgery
I don't even know how to start writing this post because my feelings are still so raw and fresh. I'm still in a little bit of shock at what happened over the last couple of days. But more than anything else I'm thankful to be here and that I'm healthy for my children and family. I had an appointment scheduled Wednesday as a postpartum follow-up ...
Nursing & Pumping Favorites
Over the past couple of months, I've learned that the saying "every baby is different" couldn't be more true. I struggled a lot to nurse Harper and ultimately it was the best decision for us both for me to exclusively pump. It was faster, more efficient and she preferred bottles because her latch was never great. We were both happy! This time ...
Our (Thanksgiving) Weekend…
We had such a wonderful Thanksgiving and I hope you and your families did too! This post is going to be completely random since enjoyed such a nice long weekend, so bear with me! We hosted Thanksgiving in our new home and my wonderful in-laws and Candice joined us for a day of relaxing and a delicious dinner. I didn't take many photos, but I did ...
Our Weekend…
JOY letters (similar, similar) | gold shelf | stockings Each week that goes by, our family's routine seems to fall more into place. Lincoln's naps and awake times are becoming more predictable and although we're still dealing with some issues from the milk allergy (we were at the pediatrician's again this week), things are good and I'm not ...
