Yesterday Matt turned 40!! We were all so excited to celebrate him and this milestone birthday. First things first, I surprised him with a Yard Card even though he specifically requested no yard card…He ended up loving his lawn surprise and got such a kick out of it! We had a pretty busy day at …

It was truly a memorable birthday for Caroline this year! I was really worried about how we would pull off an extra special day at home…after 7 weeks at home…but the day turned out truly magical… Caroline awoke to lots of colorful surprises — starting with tons of balloons sprinkled around her room, we set …
I am feeling so dang happy, healthy and blessed to turn 33 today! No really, I have never, ever been more thankful to be healthy — for my whole family to be healthy actually. It’s something we don’t take for granted around here. And I know it sounds so cliche, but I feel so abundantly …
Matt turned 39 earlier this week! I cannot believe he is officially one year away from 40! To celebrate his birthday, we went to Peppervine for dinner, a new restaurant we’ve been anxious to try. We both agreed that this restaurant lived up to the hype (Food+Wine Magazine listed Peppervine as one of the most-anticipated …
For Thomas’ third birthday we hosted a splash party in our backyard! For sure, this was his most fun birthday party yet! So, not only was this one of of our most fun parties, it was also one of our most simple parties too. A few weeks before the party I purchased all of the …
Caroline’s Flamingo Party for her 4th birthday was everything I imagined and more—bright, tropical, and so much fun! When she requested a flamingo-themed party, I was all in and couldn’t wait to bring the vision to life. We turned our backyard into a festive fiesta, complete with palm fronds, vibrant decorations, and of course, tons …
We spent the weekend in Asheville celebrating my birthday! This is actually our second time celebrating my birthday in my favorite city (read about the last trip here), only this time we were sans kiddos! Early Saturday morning Ms. Jamie arrived and Matt and I were out the door 3 seconds later. We arrived in …
On Saturday Matt turned 37 and today Thomas turned two! So on Saturday we combined their birthday celebrations into a double-header party — a fire truck toddler party for Tom and a late night after party for Matt. Judging by the state of my house the next morning, which looked like a frat house, the parties …
When I asked Caroline what kind of birthday party she wanted this year without hesitation she exclaimed “a YELLOW party!” I wasn’t really sure how I was going to pull off a birthday party in our new house just a few weeks after moving in but I promised Matt (and myself) that I would keep …
Yesterday I turned 30! It feels so surreal when I think about my life at 30 years old. I have two wonderful babies, a job I like, a home I love, the very best friends, a husband I fall deeper in love with every day and I’m healthy. I honestly could not ask for more. …
I am still dreaming about our recent Montego Bay getaway… Way back in January Matt and I decided to plan a vacation for just the two of us to spend some time together after a tough year. Right away we looked at the calendar and decided to book our trip for Labor Day weekend in …
What a day to remember! A few weeks ago Thomas turned one and we decided to celebrate over two of his favorite things – pizza and popsicles. We designed the party to be simple and intimate so we could keep all the focus on the birthday boy. After all, he’s had one hell of year and …
