My baby is two! I still can’t wrap my head around that! Look how much she has changed in 2 years!
Though she still makes that cute little Newborn face when she sleeps!
I can’t wait to see her little face when she sees her Mickey Mouse party on Sunday! Stay tuned for all the details!!!
Happy Friday!

Over the next few days…or maybe week…I am going to be flooding you with pictures of my cute bean because she just turned two and I am feeling nostalgic!
We had a great birthday celebration yesterday which I of course can’t wait to fill you in on, but today I just had to share this adorable Birthday interview I got with her! It of course consists of a lot of wiggling and off topic chit chat, because that’s what toddlers do best, but I want to remember her exactly the way she is at this very moment because she has already grown up way too fast!
Enjoy!
I never imagined 2 years could pass by so quickly! You make me so proud and I am the luckiest Mommy in the whole entire world! Thank you for making me a mommy little girl! I hope you have the most fun day ever!
xoxo
Love your Momma
This Wednesday Freshly Picked is releasing 2 new gorgeous pairs of two toned moccasins! Salt Water and Sand and Sunshine and Sand! I was so thrilled when they reached out to us about testing out the Saltwater and Sand moccasins because Saltwater Taffy has always been our very favorite Freshly Picked color! And my friends, the people at Freshly Picked have done it again! The combination of Saltwater Taffy and sand is so gorgeous it gives me all the heart eyes!!!
I love that they are neutral enough to match almost anything, but with a fun adorable pop of color on the bottom! They are made with the same amazing quality leather that we have come to love from Freshly Picked!
See what I mean about the heart eye emojis? Are you as smitten with them as we are? This release is going to be exciting friends! Make sure you are following Freshly Picked on Instagram and Facebook for more photos and information on this release!
Happy Monday!

Happy Friday everyone!!!

Friends I have fallen in love again! Most of you know I have an obsession with baby/kid products! I have recently been introduced to Socklings Socks and Hallie and I are smitten!
Socklings are thigh high baby socks that stay snug on your child’s feet as they squirm, crawl, run and play! Which is so great for us, because little Hallie sure does love to move! Before Socklings we were constantly losing socks and now those days are in the past! They also come in 4 of the cutest designs!
 |
| Dress- June and January |
Socklings are 100% American Made and were created by Ericka Chapman, a Mom just like you and me, trying to solve a common sock phenomenon. “Why don’t baby socks stay on!?” Well she has mastered it because we have been wearing these socks for weeks now, and never once have we lost one!
 |
| Shoes- Freshly Picked Bow- Turbans for Tots |
Not only did I fall in love with the product, but for me, it’s always the people behind a company that move me. Ericka was doing it all on her own, and because I believe in her so much, and because Socklings are the next best thing! I agreed to come on and join her on her journey! So I am now helping her out with her social media, and you should go check out our Instagram and Facebook pronto!
I love that there is a design to match all of our favorite things! Like our Freshly Picked Moccs, June and January Dresses and of course our Turbans for Tots bows (BTW if you haven’t checked them out, go now!)
Also because you guys are my favorite people ever, We are going to give one pair away to a lucky follower! Just follow the steps below!
I am so excited to share these amazing socks with you friends!

I’ve been needing a new wallet! My Dad gave me a Coach GC for my birthday and I THINK I am going to pull the trigger on this one!
Old Navy is KILLING it with patriotic clothes for kids! I am OBSESSED with this one!
It totally breaks my heart to think about the mural in Hallie’s room now. Many of you know that before Hallie was born, My Mom, Mother in Law and myself painted a beautiful tree mural with birds and butterflies on Hallie’s wall. By now it is probably covered with a fresh coat of white paint getting ready for new tenants as an investor bought our home.
A week or so a before we moved out, I had my good friend Whitney, come and take some photos of Hallie playing in her nursery before we boxed things up. Photos I am sure to cherish for the rest of my life. Photos I will be sharing with you as soon as we get them back!
The last day we were in the house I took Hallie into her room, just the two of us. I sat her down on the bare floor as all of the furniture and her toys had been packed away in boxes and moved already. I told her “how happy Mommy was when I found out you were girl”. I told her “I knew immediately the vision I had for the nursery where we would bring you home for the first time.” I explained to her all of the people who had a hand in helping me make my vision come to life. “Tia Joyce helped me make your letters, and Auntie Jennifer and I made your mural. Daddy and Pop put together your crib which was given to us by Ms. Marie and Sophie. Daddy, Uncle Adam and Aunt Kate built your changing table which was given to us by Nana and Bapa. But the most special gift in your room was the mural. Mommy, Memi and Nana spent hours getting the tree, birds, butterflies and flowers just right. We talked the whole time we worked about how excited we were for your arrival. We wondered what you would look like and how your personality would be. We were so proud with how it turned out.”
“Then when the room was done and you arrived Nana continued coming over to add “finishing touches” to your room. She was so excited! She made you curtains, cross stitched bears for your walls and painted a peg board for us to hang your ballet shoes on! Eventually we had no room left to put anything, but she wanted everything to be perfect for you.”
After I told her all of of that, I took her over to the tree and we took a couple of photos and said goodbye to her room, goodbye to the mural, and goodbye to Nana. It was a sad sweet moment, but one I am so glad I took the time to have.
Mom will live on in the photos, and Memi and I will make sure Hallie’s room is just as special as the first!

Last Friday was our first day of our Summer Schedule with my girlies at work…also known as the day we went into a sugar comma!
The girls knew that the first thing they wanted to do was hit up Bahama Bucks (a snow cone place we have here in Big D) but I had already planned on bringing donuts for National Donut Day.
So who says we couldn’t do both?! It’s Summer! No rules!
We started off the day with some really delicious donuts! I let Hallie pick hers! Sprinkles of course!
