I cannot believe my second trimester ended and I am now in my third trimester. It’s true when they say second pregnancy goes by so much quicker, even during quarantine. 😛 I feel like it was yesterday when I found out we are expecting! Now I have less than three months to go. While IRead More
Emma’s 4th Woodland Fairy Birthday Party
(Super delayed post as her birthday party was 6 months ago :P) One of the first things we envisioned when we first toured our new house was having tons of backyard parties. So it’s no surprise we hosted a big gathering as soon as we moved in for Em’s 4th birthday party. She was (stillRead More
Honeysuckle Tea House
One of our favorite places in the Triangle Area is Honeysuckle Tea House. Ever since we were first introduced to this place, we were hooked. Now that we live farther away, we don’t visit as much as we would like to, but it is a must place to go when we have visitors in town.Read More
To Emma (Letter #2)
Our dearest Emma, Your second birthday has come and gone, and Mama is more emotional than when your first birthday came along. As wonderful as your first year was, a big chunk of that year was in survival mode. Your second year though, was soaking up every single moment of your growth because it literallyRead More
Autumn is here!
Autumn is one of my favorite seasons. Everything about it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. I’ve been waiting for the heat wave to end here in NC to enjoy some breezy weather and Pumpkin Spice lattes at Starbucks. Yes, I know. Basic. However, I’m sad to report that I have yet toRead More
Fourth of July
Emma and I have been super sick with a nasty cold this past week, so naturally, I am drugged up and really missing summer! But really, I’m just a lazy blogger and have not gotten around to do this post until 3 months later. 😛 This past Fourth of July was an exciting one forRead More
Surf City Beach Trip
Although temperature is still hitting the high 80’s here in NC, summer is officially over. Long summer months sure flew by too quick for us, and we are already missing going to the pool almost daily and the beach trip from start of the summer. I know, four months have passed since our family beachRead More
First Snow of 2017
This is our second winter in North Carolina, and I LOVE our mild winters especially after Chicago. However, I was hoping for some snow so Emma could experience it for the very first time. Weather gods must have granted my wish, because we got lots of fluffy snow back in January, well a lot for NCRead More
Father’s Day
Father’s Day means so much more to me now since I get to celebrate the love of my life on this day too! I always knew Steve would be a great dad, but I had no idea he would surpass all my expectations of what it meant to be a father. No words need to be saidRead More
Another New Chapter of Our Lives!
