Today was one of those days that every parent fears. We had just gotten home from playing at the park and it was right before lunch time. I was walking up our wood stairs carrying Harper (with her back to me) and I tripped and fell forward. I tried my hardest to protect her as we lunged forward, but it all happened so fast and her face hit ...

Harper Reese-16 Months Old + The Houston Zoo
Yesterday, Harper turned 16 months old. As she gets older, it's nearly impossible to get photos of her (especially if you ask, she will laugh and run away) so I'm sharing photos from our trip to the Houston Zoo today as part of her 16-month update. This month Harper's language really exploded. I remember being a little worried at her 15-month ...
ELARI Diaper Wallet Review + Promo Code
When Harper was an infant, I became easily overwhelmed at just the thought of leaving the house with her. Maybe it was the round-the-clock pumping and fear of diaper blowouts (and there were many)...or maybe it was just the sheer amount of STUFF I thought I needed to have with me just to get her out of the house. First time mom, all the ...
Harper Reese- 15 Months Old!
Harper's 15 month update is way late…but I love documenting her progress each month and sharing all of the new things she's up to. The days of Harper crying when I leave her class are over. Now, she happily runs inside and is all "see ya, mom."She just loves her little class, her teachers and her friends. She's learning so much every day and I'm ...
Our Weekend…
Kevin had his fantasy football draft Saturday, so I planned a fun mommy + daughter day. Though I absolutely adore spending time together as a family, there's something special about a one-on-one day with this sweet girl. Kevin joined us for Little Gym before he made his way down to his friend's house for the draft and then Harper and I headed out ...
Harper’s One Year Photos!
The morning of our last day in Toronto (just a few hours before we headed to the airport to catch our flight), Adam came over to capture some shots of Harper. I've known Adam for over a decade, he is one of my cousin's closest friends and we spent a lot of time together growing up. I was delighted to learn that Adam was growing his ...
Harper’s Reads: Favorite Books for Toddlers
As a child and teen, I loved to read. Going to the library was one of my most favorite hobbies (serious nerd alert…it was walking distance from our house!) Maybe it was the only child in me---craving fun, imagination and adventure with every turn of the page. I would often read for hours on end and stay up late or wake up early just to finish ...
Harper Reese- 14 Months Old!
We are two weeks into Harper's transition to the toddler room at daycare and it could not be going any better. They are on such a fantastic schedule and they do so many activities. arts and crafts and have twice daily outdoor play. They still have the cameras in her class and I was watching one morning while the teachers put on a full-on puppet ...
Harper’s Closet
As I was sorting through a massive pile of baby clothes that no longer fit Harper over the weekend, I realized I had never done a post about how I organized her closet that was requested a long time ago. To be honest, it was only recently that I organized her closet and made it more functional. I used to get so overwhelmed with the amount of ...
Our Weekend…
We started our Sunday morning off bright and early driving up to meet Megan and Olivia for a playdate. The girls had a lot of fun playing, coloring and stealing toys from eachother. There were a few meltdowns too, especially over who got to wear the crown at any given time, but that's toddlerhood for ya. Harper's bow stripe top and bloomers are ...
