A Thankful Thursday to Remember

I’m sure you all know what I am most thankful for this week – my beautiful, healthy, and did I mention quiet daughter, Liv Ellen. I find myself having difficulty putting her down because I just want to savor every moment. With Kade, I willed him to get older because he’d be able to do [...]

A Word of Thanks

Your support and comments have raised us up and have reminded [...]

Liv Ellen’s Birth Story

I am so proud of my daughter. She has already proven her strength of will by deciding that she would be in charge of her fate and would be born on her own terms, not ours. Liv was not keen to the idea of induction, which makes me happy because I know the horror stories [...]

He hosted a formal dinner party that included a 4 course meal, mojitos (virgin for me), and great conversation. His home was beautiful and perfectly decorated. Kyle put a slideshow [...]

Like Mother, Like Son…

Kade and Mama Originally uploaded by kyleroth. My little man is following in his Mama’s footsteps and is happily devouring Ben & Jerry’s ice cream at the zoo. And doesn’t he look adorable in his Hines Ward Steelers jersey? It definitely brought us luck last year, so let’s hope that it can do it’s magic [...]

Thankful Thursday
