My baby is 2! It seems both impossible and way possible at the same time. Like, I was looking at her a couple weeks before her birthday, thinking about how she’s still 1 but yet she can carry on full conversations and is so smart. Definitely felt like she was already 2! Her birthday was… [Read More]

On the last day in September my mom hosted a beautiful fall baby shower brunch for me and baby girl. I got to help with the details which I love, and it went flawlessly. When we were discussing how to seat everybody, I mentioned how I’d seen short tables where people sit on pillows on… [Read More]

In early August we had a baby BBQ at our house with friends to celebrate our sweet baby girl. Other than super hot temps and smoke that had recently rolled into our valley, it went off without a hitch! I knew right away when we got pregnant that I wanted to have an event that included my… [Read More]

A month ago my mom and I threw a gender reveal party for my brother and sister-in-law. It was the first I’ve ever attended as well, so we had a lot of fun brainstorming details and bringing it all together. The best part?

This past weekend was perfect. We made a quick trip over to the Portland area to attend a surprise birthday party for my Auntie Laura. (She’s not technically my aunt, she’s my mom’s best friend- but regardless, she’s my favorite auntie and one of my favorite people in general.) We left early on Saturday morning and drove… [Read More]
Gluten & Dairy Free Birthday Party

Yep, we did it. My mom and I managed to throw a gluten and dairy free birthday party, when neither of us are gluten or dairy free. Why, then, would we do such a thing, you ask? Because the party was for my sister-in-law, who is gluten and dairy free. Every holiday we rack our brains to try and… [Read More]
