DIY Footprint Art for Father's Day

Every year I have the same problem.. What do I get my dad (the man who has everything) for Christmas, birthday, Father's Day? Well, now that he's a grandpa I have the perfect solution: homemade gifts from Nolan.  Grandpa Joe's birthday was this past weekend and we made him a salt dough stepping stone with Nolan's footprint. I think it would also make the perfect Father's Day gift, and...

Mother's Day

We finally had our first barbecue at our house! Mother's day Sunday everyone came over for some steaks on the grill, and it was so much fun! (I ran out of time to actually write on my chalkboard, so instead I draped a banner that I had made the night before over it). My dad bought me a patio set for my birthday last month. I never got up the energy to go put it together, partly because...

Nolan's 9 Month Pictures

Last month we got Nolan's pictures taken, again.

26 of my Favorite Things for my 26th Birthday

I'm not a huge fan of my b-day anymore, especially because the number keeps on getting closer and closer to 30. I don't have any big plans, I'm just hanging out at...

Our Easter

Finally getting around to sharing our Easter! I dropped and broke my phone earlier in the week, so I've been without one until today. Luckily, I learned my lesson from a previous broken phone and made sure all of my photos were backed up! I couldn't wait to look through the Easter ones again, as Nolan was looking pretty darn cute that day. :) The night before, I made some...
