Last week I shared with you what I do for work these days (go back and read if you haven't yet!). Today I thought I would share with you our everyday morning routine! Every day after 10am is vastly different because of my job, but our early mornings are typically very similar day-to-day. Eleanor is sleeping 12 hours at night, so I pretty much know what time she will wake up based on what time she went to bed. (Of course, if she is sick or teething this changes!) Most mornings she is up around …

My Day Job
It's been a while since I updated on what I do for a living, so I thought it would be fun to sit down and just share with you all what I do all day everyday.

There are so many toys out there, from the …
Eleanor’s Picnic Themed First Birthday Party
I can't believe my baby girl is ONE! What a whirlwind of a year it has been. Last weekend we hosted Eleanor's picnic themed first birthday party. Picnic Themed First Birthday Party: When I sat down to think about what her birthday party theme would be, I had a really hard time. She doesn't watch TV, so she doesn't know characters from any show or movie. I thought about what toy she played with every single day, and it was her picnic basket... so picnic party it was! We planned the date, …
11 Months of Motherhood
11 months going on 14 years old, here we are! anchor dress from this brand | milestone cards | similar chair This month I know I said Eleanor was BUSY in her 10 month update... What's a stronger word for "busy"? E is on the move, crawling quickly and then pulling herself up on everything. I finally put cabinet locks on everything at her level. After staring at the directions to one set I had, I bought this set of cabinet locks with sticky backs - life changing. It took me 5 minutes …
