    Happy Mother’s Day

    I just wanted to pop in and wish all the moms out there a very happy Mother’s Day! It’s also important to remember those who are longing to become a mom as well as those whose mom are no longer with them. This day can be tough so take a moment to let other women know you’re thinking of them. We’re spending the day with both my mom and J’s mom and grandma.  source

Jack kept pushing his plate towards the grill for more food and I’m pretty sure the chef wondered if I ever feed my child.  J and I don’t do big gifts for Valentine’s Day but he did give me 2 dozen roses and white chocolate covered strawberries.  I made him this “man bouquet” although most girls I know would also like booze…

    Christmas Recap: Part 2 {Christmas Day}

    I realize it’s almost February but this post has been in my drafts since well, Christmas, and it’s now or never. There’s nothing quite like waking up on Christmas morning. Jack slept in (of course) and we managed to hold Ben off until 8am to open presents. The pure excitement on Ben’s face is priceless! Jack was at such a fun age this year. He was able to actually open presents instead of just eating the wrapping paper. At noon we changed out of our pjs and headed over to my parent’s house for Christmas with my side of the family. In case you didn’t know, Jack is obsessed with…
