Harper is blowing our minds lately. She is the sweetest, funniest, most joyful and smartest little girl (and I say this simply as a loving parent and not because I think she's advanced in any way). Her personality is emerging more and more each week and she has so many adorable things that she does now that it's hard to keep track of them ...

When You’re Having a Tough Week…
This is incredibly cliche, but every single month, I find myself saying "this is my favorite age!" and the following month, I say it all over again. I'm in awe of how much Harper is growing and learning right now--she's such a happy, joyful and smart little girl. I don't know if it's my hormones going haywire or what, but I've been really ...

Vacation Snapshots
I'm writing a quick post to share some of my most loved photos from our trip to Toronto. We really needed a little R&R after our first year as new parents so we're glad we stayed a little longer than we usually do. Plus, I loved the extra time with Harper…though it was tough to drop her of at daycare this morning after spending so much time ...

Harper is in a phase right now where she has a tougher time warming up to new people ...

Harper’s First Birthday Party- Decor & DIY
We had such a blast celebrating Harper's first birthday! I was a little bit nervous hosting that many people in our home, but it turned out perfectly. We moved around some furniture and pushed our dining table (which became a dessert table) up against the window which really allowed us to create an even more open space. We also moved our ...
