5 CommentsReady for Summer
Today Mackenzie and I had lunch with Chris at the park. It was a little chilly, actually — so odd for the end of May. We played on the swings and on the slides. It was so much fun. I took pictures and video, but I lost them when I synced up my replacement iPhone....

Last night I worked on Amy Shireman’s free custom blog for my friend Keli’s giveaway last week. I am super excited about the design — can’t wait to show you. She asked me to link to ICAN for VBAC awareness. I had no idea what those acronyms stood for, so I had to do some...

No CommentsRecovery
What a nutty, crazy weekend. We spent almost all day Saturday in the ER with Chris, only to be sent home with no answers and no medicine. The outpouring of concern from family and friends for him was so sweet, though. We are so blessed. We spent today recovering from yesterday. So. Tomorrow is Monday,...

Fridays always seem to be the longest day of the week. Last Friday Chris came home from work to me eating ice cream for dinner. Today I almost collapsed in an exhausted heap at 4:00. Granted, I spend every other day of the week entertaining an infant, making dinner, doing dishes, washing laundry, cleaning up...

No Comments{You Capture} Smile
This week’s You Capture assignment is Smile. Who better to take a picture of than this little lady? Six months has been… an interesting milestone. Mackenzie has been teething, we’ve been trying solids, and her sleep schedule has been ridiculous. Lately, everything seems different. Like six months means starting over, except with a baby that...

3 CommentsBefore + After: Vintage High Chair
Before Mackenzie hit the six month mark, I really wanted to have a high chair ready to go for her. We started feeding her avocado at five and half months and just propped her up on our homemade nursing pillow, but I wanted her to be able to sit in her own chair at the...
