My Wish List (An Easy Guide for My Hubby!)

[soliloquy id=”2091″] While my favorite thing to get as gifts are decor items for our home and house projects, Bryan still likes to get me a few fun gifts for myself. He told me, “Make a wish list! Give me some ideas!” And of course, I can’t just make a regular ole list with pencil and paper…I had to make it pretty and visual! And even better, some of these items are Amazon Prime, which…

Rose Gold Christmas

Rose Gold….Oh I’m such a lover of this beautiful glam color! A few years ago I discovered rose gold jewelry and have just become in love with rose gold ever since! I think it all happened when my mom and I were picking out jewelry at Dallas Market for our boutique, and one of our favorite jewelry wholesale stores had a huge selection of rose gold necklaces, rings, and earrings. I’d never seen or noticed rose gold jewelry…

Family Pictures with Matching Christmas Pajamas

    Ahhhhh it’s December! Wow I can’t believe the year is almost over. These last few months have flown by and it’s hard to even think that in 3 months my girlies will be ONE! Georgia and Genevieve are 9 months now and before taking these pictures, we only had two or three pictures of our whole family of five! I wanted to get some good pictures of us as a family, but also knew…

Six Month Pictures Two Months Late…and That’s OK!

Oh the monthly baby pictures…how I despise thee. Honestly, whoever came up with the monthly circle stickers to put on baby onesies and therefore making it mandatory that we document each month with perfectly staged pictures of our babies was not thinking it through… I have spent way too much time feeling guilty over not taking the perfect monthly picture, or completely forgetting it all together until the month already went by that I’ve come…

He loved helping me decorate the house in all our spooky decor, he’s been asking to take walks every night around the neighborhood to look at all the houses who really go all out with their Halloween decorations, and I can’t tell you how many times he asked me to take…

Favorite Fall Decor That's Affordable

Favorite Fall Decor That’s Easy + Affordable

Fall is one of my favorite seasons to decorate. All the burlap, rusted colors, pumpkins, gourds and hay bales I just love it all! Seasonal decorating can get expensive, and sometimes it’s hard to spend lots of money on items that are only out of the attic for a short time each year. I like to find Fall decor that is affordable and cost effective – here are a few of inexpensive options to shop…

Seven Week Sonogram

Throwback to this day last year… Oh was it a big one for me. We had our 7 week sonogram appointment at my REs office. Walking into that waiting room, I remember not being able to sit still, fidgeting, flipping through magazines I wasn’t even pretending to read, my mind racing. Is this it? Did it finally work this time? Am I actually going to see my baby (babies) on the screen? I had imagined…

5 Fun Olympics Themed Activities for Kids

5 fun learning activities for kids watching the Olympics

When my sister and I were little we LOVED watching the USA gymnastics. My favorite memory was watching the 1996 team, I wanted to be Dominique Moceanu so bad! We were SO into being like the USA gymnastics team, my dad built us a wooden “balance beam” that we put in my room and made up our own routines on and choreographed them to music! (There’s even VHS home movies that show off our big…

10 Things They Don’t Tell You About Labor and Postpartum

There are so many things I wish I would’ve known before I went into labor with Cade…you’ll hear a lot of women say, there’s no way to prepare yourself for labor and delivery…you have to experience it for yourself! It’s very true that every delivery, and every woman’s postpartum experience is COMPLETELY different. Some women go into labor and within a few hours, it’s all over and they’re back to normal within a couple weeks,…

Father’s Day Coffee Bar

  The hubs loves him some coffee. Nothing fancy. No frills. Just plain black coffee. Pretty boring if you ask me, but hey to each their own! I was pondering a few weeks ago about what to get Bryan for Father’s Day. Lately, for Christmas and Birthdays we’ve been giving each other gifts that are for the house. New curtains, new furniture, a new porch swing, etc. Those are the best gifts because we love…

IVF Twin Girls Labor and Delivery - The day our twin girls were born after multiple unsuccessful infertility treatments - it was worth the wait!

The Day We Have Been Waiting For: Our IVF Twin Girls Delivery

March 14 2016 5:42 AM My phone alarm beeped. I set it the night before knowing I wouldn’t need it. I had been awake already for an hour, and only went to sleep 2 hours before that. Plus, I get up to pee every 15 minutes like clockwork, soooo….. really no need for an alarm. But who would want to take the chance of being late to their own scheduled cesarean section? I mean, I’m…
