Now that I've had three months to adjust to having a newborn in the house I thought I'd share the items that have made the transition easier and have truthfully saved my sanity. I've reused several items that were Owen's, but I've also discovered a few new items that I really wish I'd known about with the other two. I try to just stick with the essentials, but with my third baby, sometimes the "nice to have" items really are just nice to have. :) I am terrible at these posts. They're a ... View the Post
Greta’s Newborn Session
Greta is two months old now so it's definitely time to finally post Greta's newborn photos. I'm sorry it took so long but life is crazy with three, you guys!! Between figuring out meals, carting Owen to and from school, naps, feeding Greta and then feeding her again and again and again, endless loads of laundry and cleaning, I hardly have time for a shower let alone a cup of coffee. Moms of three or more...how do you do it?!?!? I need all the answers. The amazing Yasmin from Coffee ... View the Post
Owen’s Big Boy Room Tour!
Before we even moved into this house, I was determined to have a designated playroom for the kids. I cannot stand toys having a permanent home out in our living space so while we were in Korea they were all crammed into Owen's tiny room, stuffed into baskets and shoved in the closet. Long story short, we ended up renting this house sight unseen while I was on a layover in Japan with the kids and Alex was in Alaska. It was about to get rented by a group of young pilots and we'd already had ... View the Post
Gift Guide for Littles
When we moved into our house, I decided rather than make a dedicated play room for the kids to contain their toys in their rooms. I love this because it allows us to have our living space more open and not overwhelmed with toys. It's especially nice to have some toy-free space after the kids go to bed. This also gave me the opportunity to purge and simplify the kids' toys. I went through every single toy and sorted into piles to: keep donate: anything that doesn't get played with, what ...

Baby Bumpdate | 28 weeks
28 weeks along with baby Smith and I'm trying to figure out where time went...Della is almost TWO, Owen started pre-k last week and will be FOUR in just a few weeks. How on earth am I in my THIRD trimester with my THIRD baby?! The days are kind of flying by and I'm trying to soak up each and every moment, but I can't help but feel a bit overwhelmed by it. I'm feeling pretty good but I don't feel like I have the "glow" you're supposed to get. My hair, skin and nails didn't get the memo, I ... View the Post
Mother’s Day Gift Guide
Hey hey! I hope everyone is enjoying a wonderful week! There are so many women who have impacted my life and I love dearly. My mom, who I simply could not live without. My grandma, whose kindness, cooking, and company makes life so much better. My mother-in-law who raised Alex to be such an incredible man. And my grandma in heaven who could light up a room with her smile and laugh and taught me the value of a good, home cooked meal. Owen and Della are blessed to have three of the world's most ...
