Ladybug Week and UMDF Walk
What a fun, inspiring few days we’ve had! Yesterday, the Mito clinic where Grayson receives his care hosted the author of this precious book The Gift of the Ladybug for a “Ladybug Party” complete with ladybug crafts, snacks, and book reading and signing. Ideally, I would have loved to bring Grayson to the party, but…
Who Needs It? Challenge #2: Get Real
As I mentioned in this post, the amazing SRB (who you should definitely be following if you aren’t yet) is hosting a challenge for bloggers to deal with and hopefully get rid of unnecessary clutter in their lives. She’s had an amazing response, showing just how prevalent this issue is. Obviously, clutter is tied to emotions…
Wordless Wednesday: ONE
Thank you to my wonderful friend Erin for taking these pictures- I absolutely adore them!
Home from the Hospital
We just got home from a 2 night stay at the hospital. Grayson, being the sweet big brother that he is, waited until after his sister’s birthday party before getting sick. This illness came out of nowhere and really took us by surprise; it just once again shows the unpredictability that is life with a…
Charlotte's 1st Birthday Party
This morning, we had Charlotte’s first birthday party. It was such a fun time celebrating our sweet girl’s first year of life with some of our favorite people! I wanted the party to be low stress and simple; I chose the morning so we could party hard until naptime and then put both kids straight…
Grayson's Surgery
I apologize to those of you who have been waiting for an update on Grayson’s surgery last week.

My sweet girl…

Toddlerhood, Here We Come!
In ONE WEEK my daughter will be one. ONE! However, Charlotte is not wasting time diving headfirst and fearlessly into toddlerhood. Sadly, unless she’s fallen asleep in my arms right before I put her down for the night, she has no resemblance to the tiny baby who slept soundly on my chest for hours at a time less than 365…
Grayson's Room
Grayson’s room is my favorite room in our new house. It’s downstairs, right off the living room, and has an attached bathroom, so no more struggling to carry him and down stairs. He has a new safety bed, which is a twin size bed but has padded sides and the side folds down to get him…
