Happy Happy New Year Friends! I don’t know about you but I’m ready to clean the slate and start this new year off on the right foot! Don’t get me wrong, 2012 was great, full of wonderful opportunities and new additions (such as our very favorite, this little bug shown here) but I just love …
October was a busy busy month for us. Not only did we have our third child, but Little O had his fourth birthday and of course there was Halloween. Because I knew this month would be just a little bit crazy I really wanted to make Little O’s birthday both very simple and very special. …
This past weekend baby girl and I were showered with so much love! I feel so blessed to have been able to get to know so many incredible, talented and generous women this past year. Two such lovely women are Melissa Esplin and Stephanie Ford who threw this gorgeous affair (at Stephanie’s utterly beautiful home). …

This year for Little O’s third birthday, being a little obsessed with puppets as of late, we decided to take the the puppet show on the road and visit my sister and her Littles. Being as this was supposed to be Little O’s year with the family I felt this fit and we wanted to …
We celebrated Jon’s birthday on Wednesday and I can’t believe how time flies. Wasn’t it just yesterday that we were celebrating with donuts and custom cards. Well we had a great day starting with breakfast at Marston’s and ending with a Menchies custom frozen yogurt pie. In celebration of Jon I wanted to share a …
