A couple of weeks ago we celebrated our sweet Blair’s 1st Birthday! Of course we knew from the start that this definitely wouldn’t be a normal 1st birthday. With COVID and the fact that we live across the world from our families meant there probably wouldn’t be a large party or grand celebration. However, I was not going to let that stop us from making her day as special and memorable as we could! I …
My Sweet Blair Bear, Today you are ONE! I have no idea how we got here so quickly, but somehow you have blessed us with a whole year of YOU! I am still unsure whether or not I am struggling to find the right words, or whether I have too many words. This past year has been such a whirlwind of events and emotions. It has truly been a honor to watch you grow, learn, …
When I found out I was pregnant with Blair, it wasn’t long before I started to feel overwhelmed thinking about all of the baby supplies and items we would need to buy in order to be prepared for her arrival. After all, I was a complete amateur when it came to all things babies! I didn’t know the first thing about them or what they needed. And to make matters worse, if you do a …
Well, we have been living in Germany for almost 6 years now! And I am low-key ashamed and angry with myself because in the 6 years we have been here, we somehow haven’t travelled all that much! We have been lucky enough to live in some AHH-mazing cities like Magdeburg, Stuttgart, and Leipzig, but other than that, we haven’t really gotten around! What can I say…Ryan is in season almost year-round and with the little …
So, it’s no secret that the (never-ending) lockdown and the whole, having a baby thing, has seriously put a damper on our date nights. Gone are the days where we can spontaneously head out for dinner and a movie. And if we want to run out the door to grab dessert together, we have a 20-pound third wheel who will most likely beg for a spoonful of whatever we’re having! Therefore, we have really started …
With Christmas right around the corner, there’s no doubt about it that everyone’s holiday and family traditions will be looking quite different this year. I threw a question box up on my Instagram Stories this week asking you guys what your holiday plans were looking like, and it seems like the majority of you will be laying low this year. As for us, I think we are in the same boat as many of you …
IT’S TIME!!! With the 2020 Holiday season right around the corner, I am super excited to share my Holiday Gift Guides with all of you! There’s no doubt about it that this holiday season will look a little different because, you kn0w…COVID 🤪. However, one of my all-time favorite things about the holidays, aside from the priceless family time, baking, and Christmas movies, is gift-giving. I absolutely adore shopping and picking out the perfect gift …
Okay, it’s official…I think this may be one of my favorite DIY projects EVER! I have been wanting a patched denim jacket to wear to Ryan’s games for a few years now, but could never bring myself to spend the money on one. Especially because the price tag on some of these is upwards of a few hundred dollars! So, during the off-season, I decided to gather some supplies and make one myself! And let …
Earlier this summer, Ryan and I are celebrated our THIRD wedding anniversary! AHH! Part of me wonders how it has already been three years, while the other part of me wonders how it has only been three years (haha). Since our first wedding anniversary, we have always gone the “traditional” route when it came to gift-giving. Our first year we gave traditional paper gifts, we exchanged cotton goodies on year two, and now year three …
Happy Summer, friends! It’s officially the summertime and I cannot even begin to express my excitement for this season. With everything that has been going on in the world over the last few months, it feels so great to finally have some warmer weather we can take advantage of. Not to mention, I am SO looking forward to Blair’s first summer! We have already spent so much time outside in the yard and I see …
