3 Day Potty Training

In all honesty, I was really lagging potty training with my then 27-month-old. I knew it was something that had to be done, so I planned to start it after our family vacation to Hawaii because I didn’t want to worry about accidents during our trip. I had been reading about Lora...

Traveling with a Toddler

I was so excited to plan a trip with our two-year-old toddler since it was our first official family trip. However, I think I was more anxious and worried leading up to the day than anything else. Like most moms, a lot of negative thoughts were going on in my head about...

Baby Welcome

When it was time to decide the theme and design for little Christian’s Baby Welcome, we decided to go with a rustic look. Christian’s mother, Suzy, really wanted to incorporate greenery for this event, so we enlisted Martha from Martha and Co. to create a woodsy cake...

Rustic 30th!

When it came to planning my big 30th birthday, I sat down and really contemplated the theme. Anything glitz and glam was out of the question, considering I was coming off a year filled with extravagant events. I just knew I wanted to do it in my backyard, which, although ...
