baby

Ahhh…the real fun begins. We’re currently in the process of designing our nursery—obviously a big undertaking for such a small little wee one who will soon occupy the space {March is just around the corner after all}. Contrary to some, I am looking for a calming, relaxing atmosphere for Miss Caroline…no bright colors, no baby-ish […]

I’ve got nothing clever for a fun title this week…my creativity is stuck a bit I guess as I am trying to work through a monstrous to-do list with seemingly no end in sight–why do I do this to myself? **21 week picture taken by Candice during our Christmas picture photoshoot this past weekend… How […]

At first, we started off kinda slow, but the momentum has been gaining at a rapid pace and I cannot believe we’re already to this point! It’s so […]

How far along? 19 weeks, 4 days…143 days to go! Size of the little darling? An heirloom tomato–6.0 inches and 8.5 ounces. I’m telling you, these fruit comparisons get a little more strange as the weeks progress. Maternity Clothes? Still sporting much of my “normal wear”, however instead of dresses, now they are tunics…crafty, dont you think? We […]

As soon as we were past the first trimester, I went to work on our gender reveal party…with so many full weekends this fall, I knew I had to get it on the calendar for family and friends. Once we selected the date, I went to town on invitations–my favorite part of any party planning! […]
