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 ...

Our Home at Christmas, 2015
Merry Christmas Eve to all of my wonderful readers who celebrate! Here are some glimpses of our holiday home decor this year. I can't wait to do more next year when we're more settled in. On our front door, I used a simple faux wreath from Michael's and the same black and white striped ribbon we used on our tree. In our dining room, we added a ...
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 ...
Family Traditions: Holiday Breakfast
One of my favorite things about having children is finding new ways to make special memories and traditions as a family. The holidays are a perfect time to try something new that can be enjoyed for years to come! One thing we're doing during the month of December is to have a special holiday breakfast once every weekend through Christmas. Harper ...
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 ...
