Easy Breakfast Cookies {recipe}

Mornings are not my thing.  I can be honest with you right?  At 30 years old I still struggle to get out of bed each morning.   Maybe it’s because my mind races for the first hour or two every night, so I feel like I get cheated out of the full 8 hours of sleep […]

Planning for Our Little Guy’s First Birthday

I’ve started the process of planning for our little guy’s first birthday. Every time I think about him turning ONE I get choked up. This past year has flown by. To think this time last year I was blissfully unaware just how dramatic our little guy would be making his entrance. I couldn’t imagine how my […]
