A baby girl nursery featuring Chairish

Two close friends of mine are about to have baby girls, so I've got baby girls on the brain. Ok fine, they are always on my brain....one day one day! When Chairish contacted me to feature one of their amazing chairs in a space I jumped at the challenge. I was attracted to the mustard yellow to…

Boaz's cake smash

If I sat a watermelon or even a tomato in front of this kid he would have gone to town and chowed down which would have been a great show! Unfortunately or fortunately for me he isn't all bonkers for cake yet, but the pictures still turned out cute! Can't believe he's one year, I feel …

The most perfect lips

Isn't he a dreamboat? Editing away today, Happy Thursday!


Baby products that make your life easier {4-6 months}

1.Baby Bjorn travel crib- Our packnplay finally died and I say good riddance! The bottom was so hard and that thing was such a mess to open and close. So behold this travel crib comes complete with soft mattress weighs 11 pounds and takes 20 seconds to open. The only downside is the steep price poi…

Inchworming and downward dogs {5 months}

Bo is 5 months today, but he's been doing this whole inchworm/crawl thing since last month. Did I mention his name means, "He who comes in strength"? Check out his perfect downward dog mid movie!

Running on fumes

Baby man decided it would be fun to show off his new rolling over skills all night long, not so fun for me. Be back tomorrow with giveaway winner, sorry!

Baby wonderland {2 months}

Babydoll (my latest nickname) turned two months and I continue to live in baby wonderland. If you heard my babytalk all day long you would laugh out loud, I'm totally in love. With my first I was a nervous wreck, up all night, and had no idea what I was doing. This time, I still don't know…

I quit my job

It was one of those bittersweet decisions. While I love my work family, I love my baby more! This is a very personal decision for everyone and right now this is right for me. I mean, look at those bright eyes, how could I leave those?!

My mommy favorites (newborn)

The baby product world is completely overwhelming. So this is my list especially for you first time mommas out there of items I can't live without and use everyday with honeybee!

Joovy Caboose Ultralight stroller: This has been wonderful to use with both kiddos and just the baby. I actually boug…

Milk madness plus a recipe

We've made vast improvements in our milk troubles with honeybee because I've cut out all dairy, coffee, and chocolate (ok, not all chocolate!) Then I wasn't sure what was left to eat, until I remembered my trusty easy Paella recipe, a spanish dish I love! Please feel free to pass on any…

More than I can imagine

One of the main reasons I blog is to record the way God moves and answers prayer in my life. The amazing factor is I got to bring all of you along with me on this last prayer in my life. Ready for this....Remember the scare about Boaz's "short femurs" upon ultrasound, well they measur…

The birth announcement{s}

So I couldn't decide on a single picture to use for the birth announcement so I went with three!! One of my best friends, Rebecca of Pedaling Designs is a graphic designer and happily obliged! She knows my taste so well, I barely give her an idea of what I want and within minutes she's done…
