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

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

This afternoon with Lillian was not the first, and I’m sure won’t be the last time that I’m the only mom at the park wearing a dress. Maybe I’m crazy for getting dressed up in mom life. Maybe I’m just a fashion fanatic. Maybe looking good just makes me feel good and love living in
DIY Blackberry Dye Last summer I started experimenting with all natural and organic dyes that come from Mother Nature. Baby onesies are perfect garments to dye and experiment with! Baby will only wear for a few months, will mostly like be stained by other foods, and why not add colors into baby’s basic white onesie
Photos by Double You Photography Sink Bath of Lilies When one of your favorite photographers says she has an idea for a photo shoot with your baby, you oblige. I have seen sink bath pics on Instagram and Pinterest but never gave it much thought. Luckily, Kejt of Double You Photography was on it
Lillian’s Colorful 1st Birthday Party! As the holidays died down, I got on top of my party planning to celebrate Lily’s first trip around the sun. Knowing I would have too many guests for my Mid-century home, I quickly set out to find a venue that didn’t break the bank for a 1st birthday
