Hilde’s Sweet Baby Shower

Hilde is currently napping and I am working on several blog posts (like I have a string of tabs open right now!) I started cleaning up my old posts to help SEO and make things look nice which I try to do occasionally and always turns into a rabbit hole of posts – nine years of blogging results in tons of old content! Some I delete, some I fix, and some I leave as a testament of how much I have grown πŸ˜‰

But this isn’t about that, this is about the fact that I found a draft post from Hilde’s baby shower that I NEVER posted! Um, hello Beth. You’ve got an 8 month old sleeping in the room above you. How have you taken so long to get these photos up?! Don’t worry, the time is now! Less than a year later (at least I have that going for me) here is Hilde’s sweet baby shower!

My family and friends are the best. I ended up having two baby showers (and several other smaller lunches with friends) filled with lovely ladies who wanted to shower our girl with love. At the end of each one I would come home and tell Bruce how loved and celebrated I felt. Hilde came into this world so loved and celebrated by so many before we even had a chance to meet her. In a way I feel like I am cheating by putting this post up after knowing her for 8 beautiful months. I felt (and still feel) so blessed to be her mother and blessed that the Lord has surrounded me with such a great community.

My sisters both live out of state and flew in to attend my family shower – I could have cried (and I did!) When my mom and my mother-in-law were planning the shower, they asked if there were any “musts” and all I could think of was my sisters. I just wanted my sisters there. Growing up we shared a room and shared our lives. Every milestone was celebrated together. As we have grown and gotten married – we don’t get to see each other like we used to. But this was a big milestone in my life and having them here for this was more than I could imagine.

I really wanted photos from this party to remember it but thought that having Bruce tag along to take photos wouldn’t really end up how we wanted. He would get stuck in too many conversations because he was about to have a baby just as much as I was! So we had my friend Ashlee of Ashlee Kay Photography take photos for us! Best decision ever. I love that this celebration was captured in time and now will be able to live on on my blog!

You guys know how much I love photo projects and h You guys know how much I love photo projects and how I love filling our home with my favorite photos so you should not be surprised by this post 😜 I love @ArtifactUprising and I've done several photo projects with them over the years, so when I saw this calendar I thought it would be a perfect addition for the new year to bring joy to 2021! πŸ₯‚ It is the prettiest photo calendar that I ever did see! Just hung this baby up in our dinning room and I have to say, this room is about complete. Like complete complete! It even has baseboards! Maybe we will even get baseboards up in all the rooms this year πŸ˜‚ More on that later, but if you are in love with this calendar as much as I am, use code OAKS15 to save 15% on your order at #ArtifactUprising!Β πŸ™ŒπŸΌ

Oh hey guys it's me! I've been in and out of Insta Oh hey guys it's me! I've been in and out of Instagram lately. A couple months ago I deleted Instagram from my phone for a little break. And I keep doing it because it is so nice. Sometimes I delete the app but still have photos post because they are scheduled and now you know my little secret πŸ˜‰ ⁠
⁠
But really, I just took another break and while I am committed to this place because it holds so many of my memories, I'm not like super addicted to it (which is really a healthy place to be!) HAHA. ⁠
⁠
I'm realizing I don't have unlimited time to post and share all the things I want to and so when I do have time, I want to spend more time of it creating blog posts and less time scrolling IG. It's not you, it's me! HAHA. If you want to to keep hearing from me, make sure you are subscribed to our emails!! Link in bio and also stories!
