Last week, Ryan and I celebrated our FOURTH wedding anniversary. We were SO beyond thrilled to celebrate this special day while we were home in the US. So much so that we took advantage of the lake-setting and planned something extra special! Since year 1, both Ryan and I have gone the “traditional” route when it came to gift-giving. For our first year we exchanged paper gifts, picked out cotton goodies for year two, leather …
We recently celebrated Blair’s First Birthday and Baby B was definitely showered with lots of love throughout her entire birthday month! In the few months leading up to Blair’s birthday, Ryan and I started talking about what we wanted to give to her as a gift! If you are a parent yourself, I am sure you also have a nice collection of toys that your child has been gifted for holidays and such! Therefore, we …
Okay, so Ryan and I have been talking a lot over the last few months about the way we are viewing our lives. Sounds super weird and corny, I know, but what can I say? It’s just been the topic of our pillow talk as of late. In our own ways, we both kind of had this lightbulb moment recently, and have made a conscious effort to change the way we view our life. We …
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 …
