Over Christmas we traveled home from Virginia to Arizona with our four month old little babe. There were a few things I learned while traveling with an infant, and I decided to put my thoughts together in a post for anyone who is feeling reluctant to travel with an infant. I promise, you can do […]

  Usually I prefer something salty, like chips and salsa. With that said, my favorite cookie EVER is the Ginger Molasses Cookie. Have you tried it? It’s seriously chewy and delicious! The first time I tried one was at Paradise Bakery. When we moved to Virginia, there was no Paradise Bakery to be found. Devastation! […]

When I found out I was pregnant, one of the first things I did was look at Pinterest. Because hellooo.. nursery ideas! The first thing that populated when I looked up “gender neutral nursery” was a cactus nursery. It was at that very moment that I knew I had to have it! The one thing […]

This last December was our sons first Christmas! I didn’t know what to expect, because he was only four months old, but I was excited nonetheless to at least get to show him off to friends and family. I knew the first Christmas would be special, but I can’t wait for all the Christmas’ after […]

I know most of you thought that I wasn’t going to be “that mom” that made her kid take Christmas pictures, because I mean.. I didn’t even make him sit on Santa’s lap this year.. but you were wrong! I legitimately ordered the car in the pictures online strictly for prop purposes, took him to […]

Our son Archer has been on a sleep schedule since the day he was born. Every 3 hours he was fed – 8am, 11pm, 2pm, 5pm, 8pm, 11pm, 2am, 5am and repeat. The NICU started him on this schedule, and we continued it when we left the hospital because it was in line with the […]

One thing I learned while I was pregnant with my son is that everyone thinks it’s their business to know the ins and outs of your pregnancy. Did you have a C-section or vaginal birth? Do you breastfeed or bottle feed? Did you get an epidural or do it naturally? The questions go on, and […]

As an adult, I look back on my childhood and appreciate certain Christmas traditions, so it was important to me that we create some of those same memories for our son Archer. He may only be 4 months old and never remember this first Christmas, but we want to start while he’s young so it […]

With the holiday’s approaching, I’ve had several people inquire about buying their first DSLR camera, so I decided to write a blog post about that very topic! In order to determine which camera is best for you, you first have to understand that it’s about getting a camera that works towards the goal you have […]
