Yesterday was Eliana’s birthday. This was the first year she has really grasped the concept of having a birthday, and she loved it. She would squeal with joy when anyone said “Happy Birthday” and would repeat time and time again that she is “three weers old”, making sure to show off the number 3 with […]

DIY Party Hat Decoration Station
Yesterday I shared pictures of Elijah’s birthday party but wanted to dedicate an entire post on the decorate-your-own-party-hat station. I got the idea from Oh Happy Day who you should really go check out. For supplies I used googly eyes, pretty pipe cleaners, assorted washi tape, pom poms that the kids and I made out […]
Ice Cream Birthday Party
I’ve never thrown or hosted a birthday party before, but for my son’s 10th birthday I wanted to do something special for him. Elijah was so excited, I was super nervous. Spoiler: In the end, everything turned out great. In our tiny house I set up a sundae station, a party hat decorating station, a […]
Picnic Playdate with Magic Fun Dough
What goes better than picnics and ants? Children and playdough, of course. So when RoseArt contacted me to review their new Magic Fun Dough, I was all game. And what better place to play with it than outside in the beautiful “fall” weather? Keep in mind, I use the term fall loosely. It may be too […]
My Little Artist
This is close to three months outdated but I couldn’t resist showcasing our youngest’s first artwork. I posted a picture on Instagram when it happened but I love the other pictures I captured. Thankfully she’s no starving artist. Shortly after this she attempted to eat any and every chalk she could get her tiny hands […]
North Carolina: Waterfall Edition
During our one full day stay in North Carolina, we took a thirty minute trip up a mountain towards a town call Highlands experience the mountains. The only change in elevation we have in St. Petersburg, Florida is caused by old Indian burial mounds, so seeing mountains is a pretty big deal to us Florida […]
A Bed in our Living Room
Not to be confused with the post titled A Bed in the Living Room. The difference between that post and this one; there is actually a bed in our living room now. Before I get started, I want to say; I’m not completely happy with these pictures. Boo-hoo, you must be thinking, just take some […]
What a Hoot
Really, that’s the only term I can think of for Eliana’s personality. I posted this picture on Instagram yesterday but I don’t think it does as much justice to the moment as this animated GIF. I braided a section of her hair that wasn’t a total tangled mess and she was enamored with it which […]
Happy Birthday Baby Boop!
Today is little Isabelle’s birthday! I can hardly grasp that she was born one year ago today. We celebrated with her first cupcake yesterday, while my mom and step father were still in town. She didn’t hesitate face planting it into her cupcake immediately after receiving it, and a couple of minutes later she had […]
DIY Felt Crown
I made this hat for Isabelle to wear to a pirate and princess birthday party we were invited to. Of course, the first thing I thought to do was make all three of my kiddos costumes. Elijah shortly sported a Captain Hook felt mustache, eye patch and hat before ditching the wimpy homemade stuff for the […]
