Warms the Heart Growing up, one of my favorite holiday traditions was tagging a live tree for Christmas. Each year as the leaves turned and started to fall, my parents would pack us into the station wagon and drive to a local Christmas tree farm. My whole family would walk around hundreds of trees looking [...]

What do you Really Need to Pack for the Hospital??
I have experienced the maternity ward at two different hospitals in two different states and have since developed excellent tips on what to actually pack for the hospital. There are three people to consider: You, Your New Baby, and Your Spouse (which is usually the forgotten one). First, I will start with the super excited [...]

Mom here, only gets one celebration (but, I do milk it for all it’s worth & get an entire birthday weekend). This year, on [...]
Fall + Favorite Family Traditions = Joyful Nostalgia
As the leaves start to change and the air gets a little crisp, I stay plenty warm with the joyful nostalgia that fills my body. I’m reminded of weekend trips to Auburn University with my family for SEC football games (Disclaimer: I am a loyal Georgia Bulldawg.), daily hot chocolate intake, home-made roasted pumpkin seeds, and of course the [...]
Jealousy (The Green Eyed Momster)
Before babies, DH and I were a two income household. We both liked our careers, and we often discussed that future children would more than likely be in day care. Moving to a new city a year ago, we again prepared ourselves that we would need to tackle the challenge of finding day care for our children [...]
Babies, Bumps & Bundles! #29
I Love My Little Brother…… Tonja V. captured this awesome moment when her son first held his baby brother. She tells us, “We were home from the hospital for about 2 days when he told me, ‘Mom, I am ready to hold my baby brother now.’ So we jumped at the chance to capture the moment on [...]
