Milly chose a princess theme for her 4th birthday. We had a backyard party with lots of family and encouraged everyone to dress up! We set up our pink bouncy-castle, I put a magic carpet on our saucer-swing for flying, and we had a kids table with craft paper to color on and snow white… [Read More]
Ava’s 1st Birthday

Ava’s 1st birthday was definitely not what I had envisioned. We were going to have a big party with family, but we ended up all getting sick. I managed to throw her a little celebration with some decorations, a smash cake, and a few first birthday gifts. We had a “little cutie” theme to celebrate… [Read More]

We really lucked out with Milly’s birthday last year. We wanted to celebrate her with a party and with the weirdness of the times, thought we should have it outside. Her birthday is usually one of the last weekends before it turns VERY cold outside so it was definitely a gamble. But, it ended up… [Read More]

I wrote this last summer but am just now posting it… :) We spent the week getting takeout from restaurants + bbqing and eating on our veranda. We made s’mores a couple times in our firepit, plus our resort hosted a s’mores night on the beach which we went to. We went to a berry… [Read More]
Summer 2020

Summer 2020 was a weird one. Restaurants closing, no local pool, no gatherings… plus I was pregnant on top of all of it. I’m so thankful we had the lake to escape to. We had backyard hangs, and lots of berry picking. We found a swing set for Milly on Facebook market place which we… [Read More]

When Milly was born we had her for a couple hours before she was whisked away to the special care nursery for over over a week. I ached for the “normal” hospital stay that we missed out on. My pregnancy with Ava gave me some big scares, but our short hospital stay after her birth… [Read More]
Ava’s Birth Story
February 21, 2021 · By · Leave a Comment
Where to start, where to start. First of all – what a pregnancy this was. I joke that I’m not a good pregnant person and manage to have things that are quite uncommon happen to me in my pregnancies. Having Milly in the special care nursery for eight days was extremely difficult, but I won’t… [Read More]

How far along? 36 weeksTotal weight gain: 24 pounds as of my appointment on Thursday. (It’s Sunday as I write this, I’m 36 weeks and 3 days.)Maternity clothes? I’m still working from home which means I’m wearing basically the same lounge outfits every day. And I’m still super stretching out some of my non-maternity things!… [Read More]

So…. I’ve been keeping up on weekly pictures, but not writing the posts to go with them. So, now I have to do a blanket post to cover them all because I certainly can’t remember the answer to the questions for these weeks. Whoops! July 30th- September 10th.
