Can you believe my little Fletcher just turned two on October 14th? It’s still hard to believe how fast the time goes by. He is a sweet, happy, funny little guy who loves to get into mischief (and believe me…he does!). He especially loves to read with me, which I love too. His current favorite is anything Little Blue Truck related. So, with his birthday being two weeks before Halloween, we decided to throw together a no fuss Little Blue Truck’s Halloween party for him. If…

Fletcher Reeve
Our little baby boy, Fletcher Reeve, was born on October 14th! He is our fourth baby who came after a heartbreaking miscarriage, and has been pure joy for us since he arrived. Okay, okay…not every moment has been pure joy…but most of them have 🙂 He was born an hour and forty minutes after my water broke at 2:30 am. I actually woke up from a dream that I was being attacked (scary!) and heard a loud pop and then felt the gush. Immediately, I felt the first painful contraction. I knew we had to get to the hospital fast. My biggest fear was that he came in the car…

Vintage Style Halloween Decorating
This post contains affiliate links. I may receive a small commission for any sales made through them. The cost to you remains the same. Halloween is upon us! To tell you the truth, it’s not my favorite holiday, but I have gotten into decorating for it since having children. They love Halloween. I try to find a balance of just enough cute and just enough spooky (and just enough vintage) to make us all happy. Today, I am sharing with you the spooky-ish, vintage style Halloween vignette, I decorated in our living room. We don’t have a mantel above our fireplace in this room, but we do have a bookshelf that works…

October Mood – A Poetic Fall Photoshoot
October is one of my favorite months. When the leaves are showing their beautiful fall foliage, with a crispness in the air and warmth and coziness indoors. I just love this time of year. Recently, my ten year old daughter, Hazel, has taken a strong interest in doing photoshoots with me. She loves to take her own photographs but still loves being my muse even after all these years. Last week, we decided to do a little artistic spooky-ish Halloween session. We grabbed some props: candles, a white pumpkin and old books, including The Legend of Sleepy Hollow and an antique copy of the Magic Casements, a poetry book with…

Little Man
Can you believe my youngest is already 20 months old? Life seems to have gone by in a whirlwind since he was born. So much has changed in such a short period of time. The whole world shut down when he was six months old and he has only known seeing people in masks when out in public until recently. I can still remember so vividly how I felt when I found out I was pregnant after the miscarriage I had. I was so nervous for this little man to enter the world. Unsure if he ever really would after such a devastating loss. And now, he’s one of the…

Wild Violet
It’s been awhile since I have gotten out my canon camera to take some portraits of the little two, but lately I have been challenging myself to get it out more and more. Most of the photos of Violet and Fletcher stay on my phone and are just snapshots of whatever funny, cute, crazy things they do during the day. Last week, I asked Violet if she would pose for some “real” camera photographs for me and after some coaxing, she agreed. Violet is worlds apart from my first two, Hazel and Owen. She definitely puts the sass in sassy! She is very opinionated and strong willed. Recently she stopped…
