Lilacs are possibly my favorite flower. Only tied for first place with the peony. They’re both so gorgeous and so fragrant! But one of them is so fleeting. Lilacs are only in bloom for a few weeks of the year, making them just that much more special to me. So when I saw them in
As our sweet little Lillian grew from babyhood to toddler life we did the standard transition tasks, like baby gates, dropping the mattress down, and my husband adorably anchoring all the furniture to the wall. We did have to remove the gorgeous starburst mirror from over her changing table until she recently because she kept
As the month of March comes to a close I realized I’ve been dealing with a pregnancy loss for almost the entire month. This is some serious March Madness for me! And at times I definitely feel mad about it. So it seems only fitting to write about the pregnancy loss. One more time. If
It’s been raining all day here in Florida, and I’m sitting in an outpatient waiting room for more bloodwork. I’ve lost count of the blood draws over the last couple of weeks to keep track of my hcg levels. Two weeks ago today, at 6 weeks pregnant, I fainted and had cramping which earned me
Lillian Caroline Baby girl is officially not a baby anymore! Two years old equals toddlerhood and I can say her age in years instead of months. Last year for her first birthday I went all out! Venue, invites, custom cake, decorations, photographer… the works. But this year, I kept it super simple and sweet, with
Mom Jeans Of course, this cut of jeans was bound to come back around. Now that I am a mom, I guess it’s a little more fitting for me to wear a pair of mom jeans? Especially because I WAS momming during this photo shoot!! Brunched with baby girl at Sweet Diner, one of my
Happy Holidays from the Henesy Family in our matching pajamas! I really wanted to do the matching family pajamas pics last year, but I went with a dressed up, modern studio session for our first official Henesy family holiday card. So I already knew this year what the plan was! Yep, we did the fam
Mom’s Night Off I have been a mom for nearly two years now, and in that time I’ve learned that Stay at home mom life requires regular Staycations. When you live where you work and work where you live and your job is 24/7, self care means a Mom’s night off and change of scenery.
Goldfish Swimming Lessons This past summer, after noticing that our little Lillian really loved the water and playing at the swimming pool, we knew we wanted to get her into some swimming lessons. Living up here in the Midwest means pools are only open about 4 months out of the year… Then I found Goldfish
Recently, I realized that we had not taken any family photos since our Holiday pics last year with Kat of Double You Photography. It’s always him taking pics of me and Lily, or me taking pics of him and Lily. And with the Wisconsin weather changing over, I wanted to get some Fall feels in our
A couple weeks ago we did a Lauren and Lillian “mommy and me” session in a sunflower field and apple orchard with Kat of Double You Photography while we waited for daddy to meet us for family pics. So grateful to have some mother-daughter moments captured, as I’m usually the one holding the camera! I
