Baby Franklin Turns 6 Months

Our sweet baby Franklin has turned six whole months! Which means we had the pleasure of working with Heidi of Glimpse Photography in capturing his milestone photos, and once again, they did not disappoint. I know it. I am just as amazed. Didn’t we just take his three month photos? And now we have lived […]

Those Magic Necklaces…

I don’t remember those magic necklaces being a “thing” when Gwyneth was a baby, but I do remember them when Cal was. I noticed these necklaces on baby girls AND baby boys, and once I learned what they were, all I could do was roll my eyes. A necklace helping with teething pain? MMmk. Moving […]

It’s Okay Not to Cherish Every Minute

With Franklin being nearly six months old now, I hear all too often how I need to “cherish every minute, it goes by fast!” And while that may be true in many instances, it just makes me think back to when our first-born was a baby and how the days were looooooong and hard. And […]

My Five Minute On-the-Go Hair

In high school I used to wash, dry, and curl my hair every. single. day. Flat irons weren’t a thing yet (does that date me?) and with a bit of a natural wave to my hair, if I let it dry naturally it was quite the poof of not-so-goodness. And if I just blow-dried it […]
