A 3rd Birthday for Bluebelle!

April 9, 2013

With everything going on this year, B’s 3rd birthday was pretty much in the air. Originally, I was going to go do something in Oklahoma one weekend and then go to do something fun in Texas on her actual birthday. Then it moved to a belated birthday party/housewarming party when we moved into our new [...]

3 years ago, I became a mom.

April 5, 2013

Three years ago, I thought I knew what I was getting into. I had read books, taken classes, and watched countless videos. And then you were born. Suddenly, I couldn’t sleep. I didn’t know how I could function with you outside of me. You were so perfect and fragile. I couldn’t bear to let you [...]

Turning 29.

March 28, 2013

I turn 29 tomorrow. Well, today. I’m actually writing this before the clock strikes midnight, so by the time this is posted and written, it will be March 28. I am beginning my last year of my twenties. Or the first year of a long streak of 29. I haven’t decided yet. Birthdays are always [...]

B’s 2nd Birthday Party!

April 9, 2012

We celebrated B’s second birthday on March 31! For the record — I don’t think I ever want to have her birthday party that close to mine again.  It got a little confusing and a little too hectic! Throwing parties reminds me of my event planning days – and I forget every time how many [...]

Happy Star Birthday to Me!

April 7, 2012

My Grandma Marie used to call it your “star birthday,” which meant your age and the number on the calendar matched up. This year was my star birthday. On March 28, I turned… 28. Which is one year from 29. Two years from 30. I am no longer in my mid-twenties. I am officially in [...]

Birthday Party Plans… or lack thereof.

March 14, 2012

Birthday date? Check. Birthday Party theme? Check. Birthday guests? Check. Birthday Budget? Negative. Is it bad that I’m really not making a big deal out of Belle’s birthday this year? I mean, we’re only inviting family and having cupcakes and ice cream (maybe a few finger sandwiches). I started out planning an elaborate plan – [...]

Belle’s Bright Birthday Bash… planning.

February 2, 2012

Man, I really wanted all B words on the title. I couldn’t think of a synonym for planning with a B! This post is a lot lighter than the ones I shared on Monday, but I needed a change of pace. Thanks again for all your love. We read a lot of books in this household, [...]

One year. One year! Tomorrow we will have a one year old in the house. I am so proud and sad at the same time. She has brought me so much joy to my life. This post is picture-heavy, but I wanted to share my love of my little bit. Day 1: Baby girl, I [...]

Snow Day Project – Birthday Banner!

February 9, 2011

I’ll admit– I’m both sad and excited for my little Bluebelle to turn one. I’ll also admit that I feel a little like a bad mama.  I don’t write her monthly letters or anything like that.  I don’t plan on making a huge production for her first birthday. I’m sometimes afraid that she got a [...]
