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? Our gender reveal barbecue was only, let's see, four months ago. Forgive me. We found out the sex of the babe at our ultrasound, but decided to do a fun reveal for our family and friends. We invited everyone over to our place for tri-tip, beer, and a gender reveal. Above is the invite. Below are some of ... VIEW POST
DIY Pregnant Baseball and Umpire Costumes
In posting this, I realize that I haven't even shared with you all that I'm pregnant!

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

“Dia de Los Muertos” Sugar Skull Face Paint Tutorial
One of the many things I've learned from my mom -- always make your own Halloween costume and never spend a lot of money doing it. It's like a personal challenge every year to come up with a super sweet costume idea using things around the house and/or spending as little as possible. For example, my owl costume from last year or my paper wig. And of course my man gets just as into it as I do. He's got just as many creative juices, flowing through his veins, as I do. Have I mentioned we're a ... VIEW POST
