Sugar and Spice Baby Shower

I had the lovely opportunity to throw a baby shower with my oldest sister Lindsey for my twinner Kelsey. We decided to go with the theme of "Sugar and Spice and Everything Nice." It was so much fun and I'll be honest made me super baby hungry! I am so excited to become an Aunt again, and even more excited to meet baby Mia. Yay for baby girls!

Here are some highlights from the shower, it really did turn out super cute!

We had a headband making station to add to this little girl's SPARKLE! So no matter where she goes she will leave a little sparkle! All of the headbands turned out so different and so cute! 





I had so much fun making a fabric garland (and it totally matches Mia's bedding made by Nana Cunningham). It has floral fabric, gold triangle fabric, lilac fabric, gold glitter ribbon, gold and cream polka-dot fabric. It turned out so cute, I am quite proud (not to sound conceited or anything). 

For food we wanted to stick with the "Sugar and Spice" theme. So I made pumpkin bars, Lindsey made pumpkin cupcakes with what I hear, to die for frosting (unfortunately I didn't get a picture of them.) We also had yummy caramel dip and apples, and my sister Courtney made delicious cinnamon and sugar almonds. 



Look at her, 5 weeks left and still super tiny and gorgeous!



Well Kelso I am so happy we got to share this wonderful day with you! Baby Mia got so many cute things, I can't wait to see what she looks like. Although I am super excited to one day become a mom, being an Aunt is absolutely the best,  I can spoil my nieces and nephews and then return them at the end of the day.

What being in college has taught me

I know I have been terrible at writing on my blog the past couple of months. School has engulfed my attention and honestly blogging has been the last on my priority list. I wanted to write blog about my college experience... since I graduate in 53 days. I am thrilled beyond words to be this close to being done. I had know idea it would feel like this nor that it would come so soon. In just a few short months I will be able to call myself a graduate of Health Promotion and Education with an emphasis in Community, also being eligible to become CHES (Certified Health Education Specialist) certified. Wow what a mouthful! Being in college was not like I expected, it was much more. I have been through the worst of worst and the best of best experiences. I would like to share with you what I have learned in the past four years (From beginning to end), I hope you can get a good laugh about it. To those who have yet to start college, I strongly encourage you to start thinking about going. You w...

Staying Organized with a Baby and a Budget

Happy 2019 everyone! I hope your year has started off great and I hope it continues to be wonderful! I would like to consider myself to be pretty organized. Some people may find it weird that I love to keep things tidy and have a spot for everything. I hate clutter and huge messes. Yes I know I have a baby who loves to get into everything, literally. So I have had to learn to let her be little and let there be messes. Like most people I know, I binge watched Netflix show "Tidying Up" with Marie Kondo and her KonMari Style. Although fairly organized before the show, I felt inspired to get rid of more and organize deeper. I feel SO much better when my house is clean and things are put away. Spencer always makes fun of me for this slightly OCD quality I have. As I have been taking night classes and not getting home until 9 pm I have found it easier to not want to clean up the kitchen before bed. I do it anyway. Does anyone else have to have a clean kitchen before they go to b...

Potty Training and tips

I know most of you won't care about this post, but I know my future self will be grateful for it. Potty training is so tricky and it really tested my patience. I know everyone experiences it differently and each kid is different. I did a bunch of research on tricks and tips. I didn't just stick to one, I tried a few different ones and even combined some. Let's start from the beginning. Spencer and I wanted to have Evie potty trained before our new little one arrives. I can't even begin to tell you how many people told me I should wait until the new baby came. A good chunk of these same people told me Evie was too young (she is 22 months) and it wasn't worth my time to even try. Here's the thing; I kind of get why people told me these things, but it really made me doubt my abilities to teach Evie a hard task. Let's all be kind and not mom shame those who try things differently and earlier than others. I am with her all day, every day and paid attention to a...
