Hope y’all have a grand ‘ol time taking the kiddies out trick or treating tonight! We’re all ready to go with a couple of buckets full of candy for all our visitors.
I’m thanking my lucky stars that we don’t have to take Eliana out this year— the weather is Naaasty here in Raleigh.
Here’s to next year!
Thanks Megan for letting us borrow the...
Saturday morning rocked!
Something about this whole turning 5 months thing has lit a fire under E’s booty to be the coolest little girl in all of the land. We spent almost more time than I’d like to admit, just laying in the bed, laughing and watching Eliana love on Ms. Koda Boda.
I think Koda has a new crush…
mama has a crush….
And daddy does too.
We’ve...
Whoever said the baby stage flies by wasn’t kidding!
Whew!!
I remember the first two months feeling like I was stuck. Like literally. And then all of a sudden your eyes lit up and this little girl emerged. The transition from 4 to 5 months has been incredible.
Considering you aren’t crawling or walking yet, you’re still into absolutely everything. I cannot sit you in your...
Want. Need. Please. Now.
I was watching the Rachael Ray Show the other day and she did a giveaway for this Tria Beauty Laser Hair Removal thingy mabob.
Y’all, this could save my life.
Anyone who has PCOS knows all the yucky hair crud that comes along with it.
Bleh.
I’m not sure what happened after having Little Ms. Eliana, but I’ve noticed an increase in hair all over. PCOS? Hormones? I’m...
Many of you may remember my obsession with the UPPAbaby Stroller!
It was WAY out of our price range, but I just opened up Zulily and today’s deal included these for almost half the price!!!!!
While we already have our BOB Revolution, I had to pass on the deal to you mama’s-to-be!

I was showing a friend my pregnancy photos when all of a sudden I felt this overwhelming urge to burst into tears.
As full as my life is now that I have Eliana in my arms, there are days where I truly miss feeling her hiccups and her little tap dancing, shuffle steps in my belly…

Sleep update.
I’ve been blessed with the Princess of All Nappers— it’s a title, swear. She will nap anywhere…the couch, the bed, the floor, in my arms, in the car, in her stroller. in a swing.
She typically takes a quick catnap before noon and then again anywhere between 1:00-2:30 and that nap could last up to three hours. It’s the strangest thing, I feel like she almost...
Sunday Funday at Hill Ridge Farms.
We had the BEST day yesterday at Hill Ridge Farms in Youngsville, NC, with Aunt KK, Uncle Brian and your cousins, Parker and Hayes.
If you’re looking for a fun day for your little one’s, filled with hay rides, apple cider, farm animals, and thousands of pumpkins to choose from, this is your place to go!
It’s almost too much to even think that this time next year...
Giveaway- Gia Angled Breastfeeding Pillow by...
**US Readers Only**
The nice people at Simplisse contacted me to try out their new Gia Angled Breastfeeding Pillow!!
I’ve been using it for a few weeks now and REALLY love it! It’s my new Go-To, OVER the Boppy or Brest Friend pillow. Seriously!— (SIDE NOTE: The larger Eliana grew, the more I disliked the Brest Friend).
I would never recommend something just because it was...
Oh my, oh my, it’s about that time again that we ask you to do us a teeny weeny little favor and click here to vote for me on Top Baby Blogs!
I know it sounds like a popularity contest, but in my situation I have “met” some pretty amazing women solely due to our infertility battle.
Many of you found me as a source of inspiration fighting through our journey to become parents...
Last night we decided to brave out to the North Carolina State Fair, with Nana and Papa, to get a taste of all the healthy yummy fair food.
We managed to eat the following:
- Corn on the cob - Slice of Pepperoni pizza - Chocolate covered peanuts - French fries - and last but not least, a fully loaded sausage dog
….there goes my diet.
And just ignore this photo of my father. I...
Fuzzy picture or not, this is too good not to share.
Yesterday the twins WOULD NOT take a nap if their lives depended on it.
That’s until their little bodies completely gave up.
The nap won.

9 weeks forever.
One of our baby shower gifts were imprints of Eliana’s feet and hands.
At the time I didn’t fully understand the significance of this keepsake, but now that we have the final product, I cannot tell you what a treasure this gift will be for the rest of my life.
As you can see, Ms. Eliana had a moment. Luckily it was short-lived, but she wasn’t so sure about this person...

Traveling with E.
(excuse the little spit bubble on her lip— that’s her new accessory)
Piece of cake….
Seriously, why am I so lucky? So far Eliana has proven to be a master at curveballs. It’s ridiculous how easy-go-lucky she is— the complete opposite of myself.
The flight there was easy as can be. We got up at 4am, drove to the airport, got on the plane, and took off. No tears,...
We’re baaaaack and as you can tell, completely zonked out.
Eliana has managed to play herself to sleep a few times today. I think the trip has just completely worn her out, along with a nasty cold that I’ve seemed to pass along to her :(
As far as traveling with a 4 month old goes, the trip was insanely easy. I’m so proud of her.
