Home + Health + Life + Style
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

My baby girl is the birthday girl today as she turns one year old!!! I had streamers and balloons floating around the house and I wanted to do a special shoot for my little Valentine. So I just taped the streamers to the wall, grabbed one of her chairs, and tossed the balloons into
As Lillian quickly approaches one year old, I can’t help but reflect back on when I was expecting. Now that we’re through the first 12 months, I finally feel comfortable sharing my pregnancy story…. Baby Brain I wasn’t much of a babysitter when I was young, and was no where near having babies on the
