I got off of work early Friday, so it was nice to squeeze in some extra family time. Right now there are a lot of tea parties going on in this house, so that's where you'll usually find us playing. Harper has gone through a language explosion recently, so it has been even more fun to play because there's so much back-and-forth. She talks ...

IKEA Hack: LÄTT Playtable & Chairs
Today I'm sharing a super simple IKEA hack! I always wanted to get a play table and chairs for Harper and actually bought this LATT children's table months ago but didn't get around to painting it until now. I had seen a ton of LATT hacks on Pinterest and I really wanted to create a play table that was bright and cheery. I ended up using a ...
Our Weekend…
The other day I checked out Harper's daycare report (a sheet her teachers send home daily with information about what she ate, diapers, what books they read, what songs they sang, activities, etc) and I noticed "jingle bells" was on the list. I asked her "did you sing jingle bells today?" "nooooooooo" "yes you did!" "noooooooo" So I started ...
Our Weekend…
Hello and Happy Sunday! We took Harper to see Santa for this first time this year and as you can tell, it went just as we expected it would. I kind of love the photo anyway! It's funny because when we were waiting in line, she kept going to sneak glances of Santa with other kids and she didn't seem phased by him then. Enter her actually having to ...
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 ...
Our Weekend + Cyber Monday
Hello and I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! This week is "back to normal" after being away on vacation for a week, followed by a shortened week for the Thanksgiving holiday. Before I share a little weekend re-cap, it's Cyber Monday and I would be remiss not to share with you a few of my favorite retailers and their sales. Here's a breakdown ...
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 ...
Why You Should Take Your Baby or Toddler to a Pediatric Dentist
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 ...
