Hudson is one week old today. Crazy how fast this week went. I have done a lot of crying this week. I am one hot hormonal mess. Hudson and I have been snuggling A LOT! I'm his favorite place to hang out. Who can blame him? I am pretty awesome. Every time I stare at this tiny, adorable little miracle I cannot help but think of Quinn and Eleanor. It feels like yesterday that I was holding them and falling madly in love and now Quinn is 4.5 and Eleanor will be 2 in May. Where did the time ...

I’m Here, What I’m Loving & How to Help This Pregnant Blogger Out
I'm here! Oh, how I miss blogging and my people. I'm barely keeping up with my life right now, let alone finding time to share it. But I LOVE blogging and I cannot wait to get my blogging MOJO back.

You Asked, I Answered
I threw this up on Facebook "Lets play a game! Y'all leave some questions & then I'll compile the answers in a blog post. Fun, serious....something you have been dying to know. Fire away!" and these are the five questions I received: 1. What are you naming your baby? -Brianna D. 2. Good one. I was wondering the same. If you couldn't blog or craft, how crazy would you go?

Celebrations & Milestones
This weekend was full of milestones and family. It was one of those weekends where I felt fully how truly I am blessed. I turned 30! And my grandparents celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary. It is absolutely crazy to believe that they have been married twice as long as I have been alive. To be honest, I like to drag out the fact it is my birthday. As a mom, I use it to get out of changing diapers and doing laundry and as an excuse to hit the road and have some me time. Last week I ...
