39 Weeks - Family Photo Shoot!

Hi guys! As most of you probably know, our sweet baby girl is here! But I wanted to share these sweet family photos of a photo shoot we did when I was 39 weeks pregnant! 

Bachelorette Party Photos!

Hi friends! So this as a VERY late post, my bachelorette party was about 7 months ago, ha! But do you know what this means...? Yes! I am getting ready to post my wedding photos soon! I found this post draft and I really wanted to share these pictures on my blog, even though they are a bit old. Looking at these pictures just reminds me how much fun I had with all my friends and family at my bachelorette party, and how special everyone made me feel! It was a super fun night of good food, fancy cocktails, and dancing the night away!!!

Mother's Day Surprises!

There is something so sweet about a kid getting to make their parents a present, and its extra special when their school helps them make something, so it can be a surprise! Lila made this at her school as a surprise for me for Mother's Day!  The best part was her waking up on Sunday morning, coming into the room and saying "Happy Mother's Day Mom!" before I could say anything. I think this might be the first holiday she has remembered on her own without being reminded! 

Then she ran to her backpack and pulled out this handmade surprise!

Then Mike went out to "get a monster," his preferred energy drink, before church, and he came back with these beautiful flowers! It was such a wonderful surprise! He always picks out the prettiest arrangements for me, and he always gets a nice vase that I get to add to my collection. 

Mike's normally not a card-getter, especially since I make them, but he said this one reminded him of me, and it is totally my style! This definitely had me tearing up! :)

After church we went over to my parent's house for some vegan grilling! 

We grilled a ton of potatoes, corn on the cob, and a veggie mix of peppers, onions, mushrooms and zucchini.  Mike ran the grill while Lila and I picked dandelions!

How did you spend your Mother's Day?

Around Here: Halloween!

Hi guys! We had such a fun Halloween!! 

I have been so busy focusing on my YouTube Channel launching that I haven't had a chance to post these awesome pictures from our Halloween! We had a Halloween party with Mike's family, then we went trick-or-treating in my parent's neighborhood, and Lila got to wear two costumes in one night! 

We ended up carving our pumpkins the day after Halloween... but it was just as much fun! 

Mike's Jack-o-Lantern

My Jack-o-Latern

Lila's Jack-o-Lantern 

Spooky looking caramel apples!

Trying a bite...

They were definitely more fun to decorate that eat! 

Its fun to decorate with felt pieces too!

We used a drill to make this peaceful pumpkin!

Lila's first costume of the night! This penguin costume used to be mine when I was a kid!

Lila's second costume! Princess Merida, from the movie Brave!

What did you do for Halloween?
