A couple of months before Lincoln was born, I contacted Ailee from Snapshots by Ailee Petrovic to book her for our newborn and family photos (you can also check out her blog, here). A lot of my friends have used her for photos and I absolutely love her work and how bright, crisp and clean her images are. Lincoln was awake for most of our session ...

Lincoln Grey: A Birth Story
Our son, Lincoln Grey, joined our family unexpectedly on October 10th, just six days before my scheduled C-section, at 38 weeks and three days. Today was his due date! He had been breech for most of my pregnancy and though I was disappointed that my fluid levels weren't high enough for my OB to attempt an external version, I just wanted him to be ...
Recent Purchases…
With moving into our new home recently, the shopping focus has definitely been on the pieces we still need to furnish our new space. But I did pick up a few things for myself, Harper and baby brother recently so I thought I'd share those items here! I'm about to go on maternity leave so I stocked up on some beauty essentials I ran out of recently. ...
Our Weekend + Giveaway from Lou Lou & Company
Happy Sunday! This weekend was full of fun- our Saturday started off with Little Gym and then we headed across town to celebrate sweet Caroline's first birthday. As you can see, Harper was a big fan of the cake (and so was I!) Today, we met up with my in-laws for brunch at our favorite crepe spot, Sweet Paris at City Centre. Kevin and I have a ...
21 Weeks with Baby #2
21 weeks--- it feels surreal that I'm already halfway through my second pregnancy. The most exciting news I have to share is that we had our anatomy scan last week and baby boy is healthy and growing (and measuring one week ahead and in the 88th percentile!) I also had my placenta checked (it's posterior, just like in my last pregnancy, which ...
Gap + Old Navy Sale Picks & What I Bought!
Happy Thursday! Gap and Old Navy are having a big sale right now so I'm sharing exactly what I ordered for myself, Harper and baby boy on the way! I'm all over loose-fitting summer dresses right now. I wanted some that I could wear as my belly grows and these three look like they'll be airy and comfortable as we get into the hot (and incredibly ...
Harper Reese- 18 Months Old!
Harper turned 18 months old on Thanksgiving Day this year and we couldn't have more to be thankful for. She's thriving and learning and doing so many new things everyday it's hard to keep track of it all. And, she's as cute as a button, for goodness sakes! Harper is obsessed with the song "happy" by Pharrell (they play it at daycare and all of ...
Making (Whole) Food for Your Baby
When Harper turned six months old, nourishment became a whole new ballgame. That’s when we introduced solids, and I became interested in making my own baby food. So I purchased a book called “Baby Love,” and decided to give it a go. Even though I don’t have an inherent interest in cooking, I ended up quite enjoying making purees for Harper, which ...
Recent Purchases for Harper
I thought I'd share some of my most recent Harper purchases in this post. I love all of the plaid and tartan items that come out around the holidays. I also love a great fair isle and lace so these picks all reflect those loves. First off, I purchased these Native "Jefferson" shoes. I heard about them via Megan and I thought they would be perfect ...
Harper Reese- 17 Months Old!
I remember looking at a picture of Harper as a six month old recently and marveling about how that was nearly a year ago…how is my baby 17 months old? Harper has been a lot more vocal/verbal this month. She's always saying new and old words and making up some of her own! She's still very shy at daycare and not talking as much there. Her teachers ...
