I WAS ASKED TO PARTICIPATE IN THE #HALLMARKATWALGREENS CAMPAIGN, SPONSORED BY HALLMARK AT WALGREENS. ALTHOUGH I HAVE BEEN COMPENSATED, ALL OPINIONS ARE MY OWN. It's almost Father's Day, Y'all!  While I have taken pride in celebrating my own father for the past 30 years, this year is extra special because the love of my life, Chris Taylor is officially a DAD!  My absolute favorite part of motherhood is watching Chris be a daddy to Vance.  He is so cute, caring and silly with him it feels like my heart is going to explode.  Guys can be hard to buy for anytime of...

Yesterday was my sweet mama’s birthday.  It’s been a really awesome year for us.  Over the years our relationship has grown and changed, some years more awesome than others, but I think this year has been my favorite.  

 I have been a mom for 100 days.  Some will say I don’t have enough experience to give any advice and they may be right, but I want to share anyway.  Every time I say how much I absolutely LOVE motherhood and how much easier things are than I thought they would be, more often than not I get this response: “YOU JUST WAIT.”  It’s always in a booming voice with a boastful head nod and raised eyebrows, as if I am in for the scariest ride of my life.  You’ve heard it.  Maybe you’ve even said it.

A week ago today at 4:55 a.m. our world was changed forever.  We are so grateful for an awesome and FUN birth experience that I just had to share with all of you! 

Decorating our sweet little babe's nursery has been one of my favorite parts of pregnancy!  Everything is fresh and clean, black and white with plenty of room for him to add his own personality in the future!
