Justin and I are so excited to be creating family holiday traditions as parents. We have our family traditions that we have been doing since we started dating; Christmas morning breakfast with his parents. But as far as ourselves and our growing little family, we don't have any holiday traditions yet. Since last year Mason was just a few months old. So this year, we are starting to create our family holiday traditions! First Family Holiday Tradition: Matching Christmas Jammies. I've seen other families do this ... Read more...
Family Holiday Picture Outfit Ideas
Justin, Mason, and I recently did a photoshoot for our holiday pictures for our holiday cards. We decided to do two different outfits. One that was super casual, a Christmas PJs look (coming to the blog soon), and the other more dressy with our holiday attire. When deciding what to wear for our holiday pictures I wanted to make sure our outfits coordinated but weren't matchy, matchy. I found Mason's outfit first and then planned mine and Justin's outfit around his. Since I found this adorable plaid button down for Mason I new I ... Read more...
Mason’s Daniel Tiger Themed Birthday Party
So it's now been a few weeks since Mason's first birthday party and I'm finally getting around to sharing. There are very few things that Mason is totally into right now but Daniel Tiger is one of them. He absolutely lights up when he hears the theme song.

I'm just going to put it out there that it's no easy feat keeping a baby alive ... Read more...
Baby Boy Clothes Under $30
I knew this day would come but I can hardly believe that Mason is already one year old! That first year just flew on by. Mason is looking more and more like a handsome little man and while he's not going to daycare/pre-school. He's finally grown out of his 9 months clothing, so I’ve given him a whole new 12-18 months wardrobe just in time for fall! Now especially with baby clothes, I hate spending a lot of money because they don't make it too long before Mason's already grown out of them. I know his growth pace has been slower than ...

Mason Turns One
I had no idea how emotional I would get about Mason turning one. Words cannot describe how I am feeling. I am happy and sad at the same time, grateful and relived, and humbled because I know many are not nearly as lucky as we are. Our pregnancy leading up to the birth of my son wasn't smooth sailing and the delivery itself was a bit dramatic. There were moments when I just had to leave it up to god to take care of Mason and for me to have the strength and power to push Mason out when I wasn't contracting nor was his heart beating. I ...
