Y'all. It finalllllllllyyyy felt like fall last week! It was absolutely amazing! Highs in the low to mid 70's, crisp fall air and zero humidity. Oh and perfect hair weather of course! And in true Virginia fashion, it will be back in the upper 80's this weekend so it doesn't appear this weather was hear to stay. Since it was finally cool, we decided to take our annual trip (which we passed on last year since I had just had Liam) to Carter Mountain Orchard for some apple picking! Liam is ...

Let’s Talk Tuesday #20
With everything that happened on Sunday evening in Las Vegas, I am so thankful for our safety in this crazy world we live in. I pray that we all can band together and shed more kindness over our country which is more divided than ever. Noooooooooo! Fixer Upper is ending after this upcoming season! Along with the rest of America, I love Chip and Joanna and will be sad to see this show go. Now, I need to make plans to go to Waco and go to the Silos and hopefully catch a glimpse of them! ...
Let’s Talk Tuesday #19
I wasn't a teen in the late '90s but I totally remember all of these. Although, LL Bean pack packs were the backpack of choice around here but I do think I had a JanSport at some point. Mark your calendars! I know it's not even October yet but they have released the Hallmark Christmas Movie lineup and I couldn't be more excited! If you don't watch Hallmark Christmas movies you're seriously missing out. They run pretty much 24/7 and seriously saved me while I was on maternity leave and up in ...
Liam’s Mickey Mouse 1st Birthday Party
Somehow our sweet baby Liam is now 1 and is a full-blown toddler! We had a great birthday party for him with family and friends that he loved and was on a major sugar high by the end of the afternoon! When it came time to pick a theme for his party, we instantly knew it had to be a Mickey Mouse party. Our boy is Mickey Mouse obsessed and we're Disney obsessed (we actually got engaged on Disney property!) so it just made sense! I knew I wanted super cute invitations and these that I ...
Let’s Talk Tuesday #18
Since it is 9/11 I would like to take thank all of the service men and women who helped that day and everyday to protect us. #neverforget After last week's fall themed Let's Talk Tuesday post, I officially have our fall decorations up around our house. However, I must admit, after a trip to Home Good's last week I can't help but want to add a ton more to make it super cozy! I literally almost left with half the store. Two places I cannot be trusted, Home Goods and Target. ...
Investing time in your marriage after kids
Leading up to Liam being born, everyone told me how it gets hard to focus on each other and how it was important to continue to date your husband. Well duh, of course we were going to do that! We'd make time for date night at least every other week if not once a week, still go out and be social and be cool parents! Right? Wrong! We had great intentions but let's be real, life gets in the way. The newborn days are rough and while we did have our first date night 2 weeks after Liam was born, it ...
