For this Bowties and Brunch baby shower we wanted to welcome a new little man into the world using colors like yellow, orange, blue, green and small touches of deep red (to coordinate with the deep red wall) while incorporating the much-adorned bowtie and mid-morning meal, brunch. Bowtie Cake Pops Chocolate-covered pretzels Banana Cupcake with Vanilla Bean […]
Yep, you read that correctly. Baby Cal turned 11 months. He is one big ball of love and will melt any female’s heart with his big baby blues. The number one compliment that he receives is how awesome his crazy, wild hair is. His tongue can often be found dangling from his mouth You can […]
One of my go-to meals when I don’t have a lot of time, or when I just don’t want to cook, which is like, always, is this chicken and dumplings recipe. It’s SO easy, my whole family enjoys it, and you can substitute the chicken with leftover thanksgiving turkey if you’re trying to use […]
(Last night) Ohhhhhh Mommy Heaven. I am in complete, heart-swelling, emotion-overloading Mommy Heaven. Before bed tonight Gwyn and I went in her room to play with her princess castle.

Burlap and lace have been on my mind since about Christmas, so I was able to scratch that itch by using these two materials in this shabby chic, simple and pink baby shower dinner. This dinner party was elegant, intimate, and incorporated little touches suited specially for the mama-to-be. Lace napkin rings with the napkins […]
I recently decided to do something for myself. Our “spare time” during the day usually consists of taking the kids to things they like to do such as the library, the children’s museum or the park. And when we go shopping, I bolt straight for the kiddie section. I just can’t help myself. But recently, I […]
I’m not one to shout to the world, “Look what my hubby did!” But seriously….. look what my hubby did!!!! For Valentines Day I had purchased all of the ingredients to make a romantic dinner at home for The Hubby and I since we would have the kids. I had everything ready to go, but […]
A super simple (and last minute, if needed!) Valentine (or just because!) gift idea found on Pinterest is this “I love you because…” frame.
