Where to start with this post?? It’s been a while since I shared a true update on either of my sweet girls, and I love having them here in black and white on the blog to look back on over the years. A diary of sorts of their amazing lives and how they have changed mine. When Makenzie reached out and offered a photo session, I jumped at the chance. If you’re local to Tulsa and looking for a family…
We recently did a fall mini photo session with our long time family photographer turned friend, Randy Yeats, at a local Christmas tree farm. Jane Evelyn was in a mood at the session, so I had no idea what kind of photos we were actually going to walk away with. And let me tell you there are some gems in the gallery. But as usual, Randy captured some truly special moments. There’s something about looking at photos that makes you…
I have my favorite blog buddy joining me today to share some mommy and me looks from the new Free Assembly kids line from Walmart. We have had so much fun checking it all out! She’s newly more opinionated about her clothing, so I ordered it all with her. Everything in the line is super cute and made to mix and match. I love that the price point of most of it is right around $15. Free Assembly Kids Line…
I snagged this Madewell striped sweater during the Shopbop sale, and it has quickly become a wardrobe staple for me! You can check it and others out here. It’s true to size and great quality! Pieces like this that can be worn in my everyday mom life casually or dressed up a bit for the weekend always end up getting the most wear. Today I thought it would be fun to share this striped sweater 4 ways. However, the combinations…
Jane Evelyn you are ONE today!! I’ve been looking over past posts about your life and your sister’s life and just weeping over the goodness of God and the beautiful story he has written in our family culminating in you. We started this journey back in 2014 never dreaming what a ride it would be. Now here we are seven years later, 3+ years of infertility and one IVF round, the sweetest big sister I have ever known, 16 months…
I have some fun photos for you today. Not only am I sharing my cute gingham midi dress, but I have a guest! Every once in a while Ivy Jean wants to join in photos, and you better believe I jump at the chance to have her with me! I literally could not adore this girl any more. Russ and I look at her and marvel at how we have this good-hearted, easy going, adaptable daughter. She is a true…
I first shared these amazing $15 green pull on shorts during my Target try on last week, but I had to share these snaps from the weekend with you all. I was cracking up at the photos with the girls. Let me just say, taking a picture with two semi-willing participants is always an adventure. Half the time Ivy Jean says she wants to take a photo and then won’t stand still or sees something more exciting. 😉 I never…
I thought about a lot of captions for these photos. The joy of motherhood, trying to take photos with kids, the juggle, etc. Ultimately I loved them because they depict our true life, and I am so thankful to honestly love my life – the juggle and all! The girls are such a joy even on the long days. Not a day goes by when Ivy Jean does make me laugh out loud and Jane Evelyn doesn’t bring a huge…
Happy Friday everyone! I hope you all are having a wonderful week! I thought I would share our Easter photos and details on the dress I ended up wearing. If you follow along on Instagram (and I hope you do!), I already shared these here. It was a really special Easter weekend. We got to worship in person at church and see both sides of our family. After not getting to celebrate in the normal way last year, this time…
Jane Evelyn you are SIX months old! To mark the occasion we made a half cake for your half birthday just like we have done with your sister for the past four years and just like your Gamma did for your auntie and I all our lives. It was so sweet in all senses of the word. Your sister helped me make it which was really fun, and we documented it with a fun reel I shared on Instagram. You…
