The Flowers in Her Hair

"Someone told me there's a girl out there, with love in her eyes and flowers in her hair."

Adoration.

sunny evening relaxing on our arkansas adventure. rich green grass, bare feet and (not pictured) a sweaty baby girl enjoying dinner on a crisp white sheet in her nanny’s front yard.   Im completely in love with this post from one of my very favorite bloggers. If you stay a while a look around, you’ll [...]

Failed Attempts.

I woke up this morning dreading the moment I would have to step out of my warm bed. The phone rang, it was my dear Clair telling me that our morning plans would have to be cancelled. I was okay with it since it wasn’t looking like the brightest of days to begin with. For [...]

Teamwork.

Getting a grip.

Photo by Kristen Young This morning I woke up to a hungry belly, a new morning and a few quick minutes to take a shower before my darling girl woke up. I heard her on the monitor, got dressed and opened her door. “Good Mornin, lovie!” A muffled “HI Mama!” through a binkie came from [...]

Yesterday was pretty awesome. I woke up early to a kiss goodbye from Jon, he was going to run the Thanksgiving race a few towns over. I rolled out of bed knowing that if I got up I would be able to get a few things done before the baby woke up. I shuffled downstairs, [...]

Happiness is…

Happiness is… Clean, cool, white bed sheets. Open windows on a new fall evening. My daughter walking towards me with open arms. Nap time. Taco night. Long morning walks with new friends. Hearing Waylon’s specific bark when Jon comes home. Watching Everly see him for the first time that day. The Steelers winning even without [...]

A Few Firsts

This weekend has been nothing short of fantastic. Jon was off both days, the weather was beautiful, Everly slept and was amazing while she was awake and we spent time with good friends, family and good food. It was a nice way to welcome in the fall but still enjoy the last few bouts of [...]

On Making Memories.

My eyes slowly began to open to the hazy morning, as I heard Everly start to ruffle over the monitor. As she let out her usual morning chants of “Dada?!” “DAAA!” followed by little babbles to her doll, I started stirring around in bed. There was a deep grumble in the clouds and when I [...]

The Littlest Best Friend

Having her grow right before my eyes, when she holds my hand, when she snuggles in for a kiss from mama….these are the moments I am so thankful for my sweet daughter.

Half a Decade. A Letter for Jon.

Dearest Jon, Today, five years ago, we got married. On a warm August afternoon in Virginia, we said “I Do” and here we are today. I know you are at work right now and I am writing this with Everly playing contently beside me. I cant even begin to describe how happy I am that [...]
