- Preschool that is. And only 2 mornings a week, for just 2.5 hours at a time. It will fly right by that's for sure. I figure it's just enough to ease her & I into it, and she's more than ready. She's always bringing me her preschool "homework" books at home to practice writing her letters or learning about science o[...]

Sleeping: Sleeping has taken a turn for the worse lately. I blame most of it on teething, but also most likely another growth spurt or 2. Her naps are very irregular. We have no schedule should anyone ask me "When does she nap?" Some mornings she may wake up at 7:30 and be ready to go back in for a nap an[...]

- Kylo turned 1 when we were on our cruise this past month, so I'm just now getting around to celebrating his birthday with a cake smash session, of course. :) A grain-free cake full of apple, peanut butter & greek yogurt, complete with a birthday candle. Mikayla sang him happy birthday in the backyard while he was c[...]

I need to start this post off by stating the fact that I have really been slacking on my blog posts for poor little Audrey. #2ndchildproblems. I've at least been keeping up to her milestone cards & notes on the back of those. So I guess that's something, right? So much has changed since apparently my last post[...]

- Sleeping: She's been extremely sleepy for much of her daytime hours, especially the first three weeks. You could put Audrey down into the napping pad on the dining table & she would have been happy just lying there. No shushing, rocking, vibrating, etc. needed. Lately, she's been needing a bit more of the swing to [...]

- As many of you know... we're expecting our 2nd child, due Feb 3rd. That's just 5 weeks away. It's more alarming when I say it out loud. Especially on days like today when the puppy & 3 year old have been driving me bonkers with their antics. I finally got around to taking photos of our nursery which is just full of[...]

- Before I get into her 3rd birthday photoshoot... I'll throw in her balloon surprise party in bed this morning + special birthday pancakes Daddy made :)
I found this cute little dress on Amazon & deemed it 3rd birthday theme-worthy. We ventured on over to my favorite field for a little stick &[...]

- 3 years old. Crazy how time flies.
She's little Miss Independent for sure. So good at playing by herself, especially with her barbies these days. She finally got to have all of mommy's barbies since she's now fully potty-trained. I think I've said that so many times lately, because it feels so good to say after all [...]

- Today, Diesel is 4 years old!
Since it was raining this morning, Mikayla & I referred to our trusty Pinterest app & whipped up a cake for Diesel's birthday. We set up a cake smash session for him inside :) Egg, flour, honey, peanut butter, applesauce, oatmeal... all mixed together & poured into a ramekin[...]

- Mikayla was napping this afternoon & once she woke, I decided to hit a local field for some shots with a very sparkly, yellow dress that's been hanging in her closet from a yard sale.
It was sort of a "spur of the day" decision so I had dinner awaiting us in the crockpot for our 6 p.m. arrival back home. She was[...]

- Turning two... and all too fast. She's had quite the 2nd year of life might I say. I mean, we really jam-packed her year with seasonal activities & vacations & play dates & new foods & a lot of reading... always with the books, that girl.
Her personality is growing every day & it's so much fun to[...]

- I know what you're thinking... this lady is crazy. And I am. But I'm okay with that. I've accepted it. My family has. Life goes on :)
It was a gorgeous day & we spent the entire day outside from sun-up to sun-down... all except for baking these delicious cakes. And yes, I tried it!
I found a delicious little Pi[...]
