Easter may have looked a little different this year….watching church services streaming on social media, finally getting dressed up in something a little nicer than comfy clothes and not being able to have a big family dinner with siblings, cousins and the entire crew, but we made it work and Lily had such a fun…
It’s easy to get bored or aggravated when you can’t go see family, friends or do anything fun that you have had planned for months. BUT….having to stay home and canceling plans and getting to spend more time with my family has been a major blessing! Trying to keep a 16 month old busy when…
Rain, snow or sunshine….Lily absolutely loves being outside. She loves it so much that she will throw a huge fit when I try to get her to come back inside! It’s really kind of funny because I don’t hate that she just wants to stay outside as long as she can. Right now, she is…
We have officially made the transition into toddler mode. Lily’s expressions and new emotions that she is expressing are way different than my sweet little baby that I had a few months ago.

Yesterday we got a few inches of snow and I was so excited to finally take Lily outside to play! I bundled her up as soon as she woke up from her nap and took her outside with my husband. At first she was so confused as to why she was in such a puffy…
Not surprising at all that a one year old was afraid of Santa. We tried to make it as easy for her as we could. “Santa” showed up at my parents house, a place that she is at a lot. We all said “hi” to Santa and tried to show her that he was nice,…
This will be Lily’s second Christmas! Last year she was only a month old so we didn’t really celebrate much. Thanksgiving we were just out of the hospital, so we stayed home and for Christmas I was still recovering from my c-section so we didn’t do too much that day either. But…this year, I want…
Turning one is a big deal! Not just for our little ones, but for the parents, too! WE MADE IT THROUGH THE FIRST YEAR!!!!!!!!!! That was a cause for celebration in our household. So we did on Saturday, two days before her actual birthday. We invited our family and close friends and threw Lily the…
