Elliott’s Lucky Day: A Green-Themed 2nd Birthday Party
To me, planning kids’ birthday parties is one of the fun parts of parenting. I’ve always loved birthdays, but it is extra special to celebrate the little growing lives of your children. Elliott’s birthday is not actually on St. Patrick’s Day, but this year, his party was scheduled for March 17. I had two previous […]
Pins, Pregnancy and a Dead Camera

Coming in January
Have all you smart little cookies out there figured out why I haven’t posted in a month? The rumours are true- baby #2 is baking in my belly. The first tri kicked me in the butt this time around (just finished it but still feeling sick, ugh), so I’m sure you’ll pardon my absence. My […]

It’s about to get meatless up in here.
April is here, lovies! I’m excited. I’m a little scared, too. Because for two weeks out of this month, I’ll be going vegan. What the what? (balsamic glazed asparagus) Yes, I’m a little confused about it myself. But I want to do it! So I’m going to. And you guys get to read all about […]
Our Little Gentleman’s First Birthday Bash
We had a big day this weekend. A big first birthday! I decided months ago that I wanted to plan a little gentleman’s theme for Elliott’s first birthday. Let’s just face it- there’s nothing cuter than a baby with a bow tie. Or a mustache! See? Adorable.Before I did any major party planning or […]
