My baby boy is growing up so fast. It seems like I JUST had him, but I blinked and here we are ,16 months later getting his first haircut. His hair has been getting pretty long, but I wasn’t ready to cut it until last weekend. We went on a walk like we do every Saturday and two different neighbors stopped us and said “awe she is so cute.” SHE. Umm… no, he is a boy and is wearing blue, but okay, I get the picture. So, I made an appointment with a childhood friend of mine to cut his hair. I actually didn’t cry, but I had so many mixed emotions. I was excited, sad, and sort of in disbelief that he is old enough to have his hair cut. It is crazy how fast time flies.

My handsome little boy!

Did you cry when your child got his/her first haircut?

ONE.
I will be 29 weeks pregnant tomorrow! Nuts! Where is the time going? I finally started organizing this week and we are getting ready to have a huge garage sale in 2 weeks to help us get rid of some of our clutter before baby girl arrives. I have finally started ordering decor for her nursery and Hampton’s big boy room, so I am getting really excited to start decorating and pulling everything together. As far as me? I’m feeling okay. I’m definitely starting to feel larger and have been more uncomfortable, but that is just all part of it! I’m mostly just really excited to meet this sweet baby.

TWO.
Did you check out my Valentine’s Day inspired outfit? You must! Pink Blush sells this in maternity but it can easily be worn as non-maternity. It will definitely be a staple piece for me this spring and summer.

THREE.
You must enter to win this giveaway on my blog! There are only 5 days left to enter, so what are you waiting for?

FOUR.
Tomorrow is Valentine’s Day! My mom offered to watch Hamp for us so we can go on a much needed date! I’m so excited I don’t even mind fighting crowds! We have plans to eat an early hibachi dinner! My favorite! What are your plans tomorrow? Are you doing anything romantic?

FIVE.
One of my best friends just moved back to our hometown after being away for several years. To say I’m excited would be an understatement. I have missed her so much and am so thankful for her friendship and the fact that I can see her more often! In honor of her arrival I’m sharing a Flashback Friday picture of us our freshman year of college. Yes, I had terribly dyed hair. You’re welcome. I feel very blessed this week. 🙂

I hope you have a lovely Valentine’s Day and weekend!

Linking up here!

My baby boy is growing up so fast. He turned 15 months this past Saturday. He has turned into such a stud. Hampton is saying so many new words this month like “no, yeah, milk, fish, and duck.” He is still totally obsessed with Thomas except now, he prefers to watch it on my phone or iPad. He loves being outside and would literally sleep out there if we let him. He loves to slide and swing at the park and ride his Gator (that he got for Christmas). He has 8 teeth and his hair is getting so much longer and a little lighter. His favorite time of day is when we read books together. He loves story time. His favorite book, I am proud to say, is his bible stories board book.

This month, I am looking forward to celebrating your second Valentine’s Day, reading you some new books, watching you discover new things and hearing the new words you will say. I love watching you grow and change every day. You are the sweetest little boy and I am so blessed to be your mommy. I love you, bubbie!

Well, it’s official! We are only 15 weeks away from having this baby! Time PLEASE slow down?! We can’t wait to meet our baby girl, but there is just one problem. We have no name for her. We thought we were really close to deciding. We had it narrowed down to 2 names, and then we saw a new one we loved a couple of weeks ago and fell in love with it. That was IT! Except then, Monday night, we heard another new name while watching golf (I know, I know) and now we aren’t s sure. Why are we not having twin girls? If I had two girls to name, it would be a done deal by now. Obviously I’m exaggerating slightly, but I mean, really. This is getting so tough. So now, we have 4 names we are trying to decide between. Lawd help us these next few weeks.


How far along: 25 weeks tomorrow!

Size of baby:1 and 1/2 pounds and 13 inches long!

Gender: Our sweet baby Girl! 

Movement: She is moving all the time! 

Hampton has been sick for the last week, so he was beyond ready to get outside as soon as he started feeling better. He braved the cold and all. He’s such an outdoorsman. haha

I was very excited to receive his new moccs from an Etsy shop that I came across a couple of weeks ago – Little Pistols. Not only to I love this shop and everything they have to offer, but I love Trista’s story behind these special handmade moccs. She was a teacher before she had her first child and quit teaching to be a SAHM. She is also a rancher’s wife, so the ranch life keeps her busy as well and her growing business. It has really grown and she is excited to reveal new styles and colors this year!

I love her selection, but I can’t tell you how wonderful the quality is. They are genuine leather and are so much more affordable than any other leather moccasins I have seen. I can’t wait to purchase a pair for my daughter! They are so affordable that you could also give them as gifts to friends and family without breaking your budget.

Hampton was a big fan of his new moccasins! He loves running around in them, chasing Pippa and climbing his new slide. Happy baby = happy mama! 🙂

Be sure to check out Little Pistols on Etsy and Instagram!

Baby girl is already getting spoiled. Not only did she get a few gifts for Christmas, but she got her first pair of moccasins this week! They are so tiny and adorable! She even got a matching bow. I mean, how could she  not? I came across Mini Moccs and Bows on Instagram (of course) and fell in love with their baby moccs. I am very pleased with the quality and I can’t wait to dress her up in them. They’ve got a few new styles available and even have a pair of leopard moccs! I am in love. Why didn’t anyone warn me that having a girl would break me? 😉


Mini Moccs and Bows is so affordable. I will definitely be ordering from them in the future. Their baby bows and moccs would make a lovely baby gift as well. 

How far along: 24 weeks tomorrow!

Size of baby:1 and 1/3 pound and 12 inches long!

Gender: Our sweet baby Girl! 


Weight Gain: I officially hit the dreaded 10 lb. mark this week. I feel good and have been exercising a good bit and eating healthy, but I have a feeling those pounds are coming. I am 10 lbs. down from where I was with Hamp at this point which I am very thankful for.

Movement: She is moving all the time! She even wakes me up during the night. Ryan has felt her many times this week and he loves it!
