Good morning friends! Today I'm sharing a look into my life as a mom to two. This season of my life has been truly filled with more joy and grace than I could have ever imagined; And being a mom to two has expanded my heart in ways I didn't think was possible!
Ollie is now 2 months old, which is really a sweet spot in his development, as he has just recently started to smile, giggle, and interact with us! He is also sleeping for longer stretches at night, (anywhere from 4-6 hours), which...

Our Maddie turned four this week, and we celebrated her with her current favorites; All things pink and princess! It was a small party with family and a few close friends; But of course even a small party had to be celebrated with the sweetest dessert table, because well, it's my love language! This birthday was the most fun so far because she actually understood that it was her party, as she squeezed with excitement, "this is the best birthday ever!"
Most of the decor was from Meri Meri,...

Hey friends! Hope you are all doing well! It's been a while since I've done a Daily Dish, and I thought what better time to share than now... If you haven't been following along on Instagram, my little family has been in Naples Florida for the past two months (January - February). We have been staying with my parents to not only have some much needed refreshing, but also to spend time with my parents and beat some of Michigan's winters. Not to mention, Michigan is mostly shut down still due...

This is something that you guys have requested for a long time; A look into what I eat in a day! I know there is a possibility that this could be used in a negative way, (when someone tries to follow exactly what someone else eats, rather than doing what is right for their individual body); But I also know that seeing what someone eats can be helpful to provide inspiration!
So here’s what I hope; That you guys are inspired with new ideas, that you feel motivated to try new things, and that...

Keeping a rough schedule helps me stay on...

I think we can all agree that the Summer of 2020 was anything but "normal" for all of us; But if we can gain anything good from all that took place, I think we can agree that we have become more thankful for normal. We often refer to 2020 as a measure for perfect vision, and if nothing else, 2020 has surely brought a perspective change!
Personally, i'm more thankful than ever for the things that I used to take for granted. My family, friends, our health, and even the simple daily things that...

I think we can all agree that the Spring of 2020 was anything but "normal"; But if we can gain anything good from it all, I think we can agree that it has made all of us a bit more thankful for anything that feels anything like normal. Which makes me realize; We often refer to 2020 as a measure for perfect vision, and if nothing else, 2020 has surely brought a perspective change for all of us! Personally, i'm more thankful than ever for the things that I used to take for granted. Health,...

Maddie's second year passed by in what seemed to be a moment's time, (someone please tell me it eventually gets slower)!? From full body smiles, learning to run, twirl, and eventually hop, to finding out she had a "no" in her, and exploring her intense determination to climb anything she could find...the year went by in a flash!
Like most momma's on their children's birthdays, I had host of emotions that came with my little girl getting another year older. Birthdays make you realize that time...

As many of you know, my daughter Madeline had her first birthday on June 11th! It was such a special day, celebrating our girl who is truly a gift from the Lord after we prayed for so many years for a baby! We started the celebration off with Dashing Dish Blueberry Pancakes, in unicorn shapes of course! And we spent the morning doing some smash-cake pictures at home, using a giant Dashing Dish pancake as a smash cake, since it was the morning after all! ;)

You guys...How can it be that I am already writing Maddie's 9 month update!?! It seems like yesterday I was writing her 6 month update, and celebrating her first Thanksgiving and Christmas! One of my first thoughts as I realized she was approaching the 9 month mark was that she has officially been out in the world as long as she was in my belly! When I think back to my pregnancy I feel like it was a marathon, but also a sprint; Which oddly enough is almost exactly how I'd describe the first...
