Christmas 2015 in Pictures

Santa’s gift Big fan! Favorite treat, and sometimes we think we’re funny. Jacob had me laughing with every gift, and added in a few bonus items. I love that he prints the blog every year! And speaking of love…

Simplifying Christmas

Who knew that a late night run to Target for some baby medicine and a long line could yield a somewhat life-changing experience? The girl in front of me in line was on her phone and said, “Well if they complain I just remind them that three gifts were plenty for Jesus!” I smiled at… Read More

The Most Wonderful Time of the Year

The area around my pantry is making me smile quite a bit right now. I think it’s more than just the fact that this is where the bag of kettle corn is being stashed. For someone with a pretty strong affinity towards all things digital, there are times I’m sure grateful for snail mail and… Read More

Holiday Sugar Cookies

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of General Mills®. The opinions and text are all mine. #BakingWithBetty People warned me everything would take twice as long as a mom, but I truly had no idea! It’s like getting out the door with a diaper bag and a bit of makeup feels… Read More

Trimming the Tree 2015

Like all things, we’re getting to Christmas decor a little later than sooner. Who knew a baby would turn our efficient typically-on-time selves into spit up covered, always late, always getting to things long after the right time people? The good news, we made it before Christmas with the Christmas tree, and had a blast… Read More

Holiday Party

We did something crazy this weekend, we left the baby with a babysitter for the first time for our first date solo as parents. I painted my finger and toenails for the first time since my first trimester of pregnancy. There were also stilettos and a dress that was not maternity or nursing friendly. There… Read More

Here’s the premise: if you’ve heard of being “Boo-ed” at Halloween, it’s the same idea for Christmas! One family starts out the chain by making a plate of… Read More

Starting Christmas Traditions With An Infant

Our holidays, prior to this year, have often looked like a whirlwind of getting each other gifts, fitting in as many dates as we can, and often taking a quick trip using reward miles on our precious few days off. It’s amazing to me that life with a newborn changes your focus and priorities so… Read More

Holiday Parties 2014

We’re mixing it up around these parts and trying to start taking more video of dates. Consequently, last week’s date is taking a little more time to get together, and we’ll post it soon, but not a week later like I normally do! I knew I had a date from December I missed, so I… Read More

Christmas 2014

For all who celebrate it, I hope you had a very happy Christmas! We definitely did. Is there anything more magical than Christmas Eve when Santa has just finished visiting your house? I have to keep it totally real here and admit a personal fact. I have undergone some fertility procedures the past few months,… Read More
