Many of you know I LOVE shopping. I could seriously go every day. I love buying things for myself, but I prefer shopping for Laila. Tyson and I always joke that we are pretty sure she has more clothes than both of us combined. I absolutely love dressing her up and finding the trendiest clothes […] Read more…
Tyson and I were talking about how different New Years Eve will be this year. We have a baby that will be asleep by 7:30pm – so what in the world are we going to do?! It is time to get creative and start brainstorming. Just because we are parents, doesn’t mean we can’t have […] Read more…
I came across Lindsay’s blog a few months ago and was attracted to her amazing pictures and zest for life! I love her love for her husband and her darling baby boy. Her photography is beautiful to look at her, her healthy treats are delicious to taste and her stories of life are fun and exciting. […] Read more…
How exciting is Christmas?! I remember lying in bed with my eyes wide open years ago. I would stay awake listening for Santa’s sleigh to land on our roof and to hear the reindeer’s hooves. I sometimes would look out the window and I swear I even saw him flying once. It was a night […] Read more…

I love Christmas Sunday! It was so fun to see everyone in their pretty Christmas dresses and hearing the Christmas program at church. I sang in the ward choir for the first time ever… can you believe it?! I officially feel like an adult. I always thought “moms” sang in the choir and I guess […] Read more…
Being a mom can be rough. We have some pretty bad days, right?! Those days you feel are NEVER going to end. Those days where the baby is crying, laundry isn’t done, dishes are stacked, your to do list is a mile long and somehow in between you are supposed to pick up kids from […] Read more…
The other day I looked at my calendar and realized Christmas is just around the corner … I hadn’t sent out my Christmas cards yet and I hadn’t even thought about neighbor gifts. With everyone’s busy schedules I am SURE I am not the only one that is racing to get things done! I wanted […] Read more…
I have been thinking a lot about Christmas and what a fun time of year it has been! I can’t believe it is only a week away now. It is crazy to think that Laila’s first Christmas is going to come and go so quickly. This year she is still too little to understand what […] Read more…
On December 14, 2012 I was on bed rest. I was 8 months pregnant and just weeks away of giving birth to my first baby. While on bed rest I tried to keep myself busy. I liked to write, scrapbook, make crafts, take warm baths and read all about birth and becoming a mom for […] Read more…
Yesterday I saw this picture of when I was pregnant. Don’t judge me.. I was HUGE! 
As I looked at it, I tried to remember what our lives were like a year ago. What I imagined motherhood was going to be like. What Laila was going to look like. What being a mom would […] Read more…
I remember when I was little, my little sister and I would literally spend hours looking at the newspaper ads and magazines around Christmas time. We each had a marker and we would circle everything we wanted, put x’s through things we would never want (mostly boy toys that we thought were lame) and huge […] Read more…

My family and I were able to check another item off of our Christmas Bucket List – Ice Skating! This experience wasn’t just a normal ice skating experience though… this was ice skating on top of a hotel, over looking the Las Vegas strip! Does it get much better than that? When you think of […] Read more…
I love that my husband and I both grew up in families that created fun traditions and now we have our own little family that we get to start our OWN traditions with! I love that we can take a few things from his family, a few from my family, a few of our own […] Read more…
