Boo!

Boo!

Happy Halloween everyone! My two little trick-or-treaters are READY! They got a special preview yesterday when we trick-or-treated at Grandma and Grandpa's house. Apparently grandkids (and kids!) get an entire bag of candy. SCORE. And Aunt Erin was there with candy too. We could have totally stopped right there....but a certain THE HULK was ... Read More

Sadie had no clue what was ... Read More

Whenever I share a photo of my son, Hudson, on Instagram, the number one question I get is about his hair. And I love that.

To Find Out, or Not to Find Out

To Find Out, or Not to Find Out

That's been the BIG question over here. Do we find out this baby's gender, or should we be surprised? Faithful readers may remember that when I was pregnant with Hudson, we opted to find out the gender. In my mind at the time there was just NO WAY I could not find out. I was an anxious and nervous mama-to-be and wanted to get the nursery ... Read More

I Got it from My Mama

I Got it from My Mama

That title has nothing to do with this post. Except I saw a cute "I Got it from My Mama" sweatshirt on Instagram and now I can't remember where it was from. And it's stuck in my brain.  Also, this post has nothing to do with anything. I know I owe you all a baby bump photo....but that would require me to do my hair and not dress like a ... Read More
