Fletcher’s Little Blue Truck’s Halloween Birthday Party
This post contains affiliate links. I may receive a small commission for any sales made through them. The cost to you remains the same. 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…

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…

Self Care and Sleep
I have partnered with Cozy Earth in exchange for this post. All expressed opinions are 100% my own. Full disclosure. I don’t know about you, but 2020 and the beginning of 2021 were excruciating for me. For numerous reasons, most obviously Covid and all of the unplanned changes that came with the pandemic. One thing that I realized through therapy and inviting friends back into my life in recent months is that self care was not on “my list” of things to do. I had merely been surviving each day, and fighting to simply do that. During the height of the pandemic, I had all four kids at home, two…

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…

Photographing the Youngest (how being the fourth changes things)
My sweet baby boy Fletcher just turned six months old on April 14th. Maybe it’s just because he is the youngest of four, and I am one busy mama, but these months have flown by. I feel like he was just born, or rather, I was just 9 months pregnant feeling like he would never, ever come. But came he did and grow he did. Very quickly. It made me realize that since he has been here, I have only gotten out my dslr camera a handful of times. With my first born, Hazel, I was literally photographing her every day. I saved up for a special lens and would…

Springtime in Quarantine
How are you holding up? This is such a surreal time in our lives, but I hope you are adjusting to your new normal whatever that may be. At our house, we are all currently in a seven day quarantine because poor little Fletcher developed a cough over Easter weekend. He seems to be doing okay, no fever or breathing difficulties. Just a rough cough that has made a few nights less than ideal. Having all four kids at home and trying to manage schoolwork for the older ones (plus their google meets and zoom sessions) while tending to the little ones has been my biggest challenge. I know others…
