I have always been a fan of holidays and traditions. Just the other day my parents were telling the story (again) of how at age 6 we had a spontaneous Valentine's Day picnic dinner of take-out Chinese food on our living room floor - with the large, round, red tablecloth. The next year on Valentine's Day, I told my mom how excited I was for our Chinese food tradition. While it was not tradition at that point, my mom quickly jumped on it and ordered Chinese. We ate it in the same spot on the same ... continue reading...

Creating a Statement Photo Wall
YAY! First new home reveal post! I wish I was doing a bunch more of these right now but moving into a fixer upper the week of Thanksgiving while 8 months pregnant is no joke ;) We have made HUGE strides since we purchased the house (go watch my these Instagram Stories of all we did!) but the holidays and having a baby slowed us down for a bit.

I started in January (hello tiny baby!!) with such high hopes but we missed a couple months here and there because #life! I do have to say that 7 out of 12 isn't that bad and 7 months of memories is better than 0 months of them. I am so glad I took up this challenge to be able to look back ... continue reading...
Our Daily Moments August
August 23, 2019 Remember when I started doing a little "day in the life" series called Our Daily Moments? I was inspired by @steph.pollock to start recording daily moments! She does hers every Tuesday but my goal is just one day a month. And yeah, that goal feel through the cracks May, June, and July. I call it PREGNANCY and the curse of the first trimester! Haha! But really, I totally dropped the ball on it and feel bad. But there is nothing I can do about it now! I did manage to get in an ... continue reading...
