I've been holding on to these photos for months now. My sister and I actually took these maternity shots on New Year's Eve. Wow, has it really been that long? Time flies when you're taking care of a little human. This shoot gave me an excuse to get all dolled up. Much needed, because at nine months pregnant, you don't often feel glamorous. So I painted my nails, threw on some rouge, and wore heels for the first time in six months. ... VIEW POST
Rustic Maternity Photo Shoot
[dropcaps]W[/dropcaps]e took these photos in late December, when the weather was absolutely gorgeous here in Northern California. Only a few weeks before, we had a few inches of snow covering the ground. Despite the fact that we threw this photo shoot together extremely last minute, I absolutely adore the photos!

Gender Reveal Baby BBQ
Here's the long overdue photos from our gender reveal baby BBQ. I blame the lack of keeping up on posts on the wee babe I'm currently cooking. That's one of the perks of being pregnant, right?

DIY Pregnant Baseball and Umpire Costumes
In posting this, I realize that I haven't even shared with you all that I'm pregnant! After planning the wedding, then getting knocked up, and teaching high school on top of it all - I just have so little energy. Little energy = blog not being updated. So sorry! I'll do my best to continue to share all of the crazy and creative things we come up with (including our Gender Reveal BBQ). For now, here's the last minute costumes that my husband came up with using crap we had around the house. It ... VIEW POST
Baby Face Birthday Banner
It was my nephew's first birthday last week and we threw him a little man's 'stache bash. It just so happens there are no mustaches involved in this first project, but I am so in love with it. I saw this super cute baby face birthday banner by Stephanie over at Simply Radiant and knew I wanted to make one, or two, or five. These banners are the perfect excuse to bust out the millions of photos you've taken of your cutie throughout their first year. And it's guaranteed to make folks smile as ... VIEW POST
