How old is Madeline currently?
Maddie turned 6 months on December 11th, (she was born June 11th). It is incredibly hard to believe it has already been 1/2 a year! I am learning very quickly that what they say is true- the days are long but the years are short! The first six months had many long days, (and even longer nights), but were also so incredibly sweet!
What have been some of your favorite memories made with Maddie so far?
There are honestly too many to count, but some of my favorites...
Good morning friends! Today's Daily Dish is the first as my new role as a new momma! This season of my life has been exciting, exhausting, stretching, and yet filled with more grace than I could have ever imagined! It really is true what they say about being a mom, that it is the hardest and the BEST job on earth all at the same time!
Madeline is now 3 months old, which is really a sweet spot in her development, as she has just recently started to smile, giggle, and interact with us! She is...
It's hard to believe we brought Madeline home exactly two weeks ago today! These past 2 1/2 weeks have been a mix of emotions, but most of all, we have been filled with a joy that is beyond comprehension. Madeline's due date was June 18th (Father's Day), and we were almost sure she would be born that Sunday. Needless to say, she surprised everyone when she was born one week early!
The fact that Madeline arrived one week early wasn't the only surprise that we encountered with her arrival. In...
A few weeks ago I got to celebrate one of my best friends second baby to be, so we threw her a baby sprinkle! A "sprinkle" is a mini-version of a baby shower, that is generally thrown for a mommy-to-be who is having her second or third baby.
Dayna and I have been friends for about 10 years, and we have been through a lot together, but the most exciting has certainly been expecting our babies together! Dayna has a 1.5 year old daughter Luella, whom we just adore, and she is expecting a son in...
I officially have just 10 weeks to go until my due date, which means all of the preparations for Madeline's arrival are taking place! This past weekend was my baby shower, and the past few weeks have been spent putting her nursery together
I can't wait to share her nursery with you guys when it is finished, but for now I want to share some of the highlights from her baby shower, which was themed The World is Your Oyster!
The idea came to me after praying for a special theme, one that really...
Hey friends! As many of you know, I am currently 6 months pregnant, and awaiting the arrival of our sweet baby girl in June! My husband Sean and I recently went on a baby-moon to celebrate, and to enjoy one last trip being a family of two! :) Here is a little peak inside our trip!
We planned our trip to Naples Florida, which is where my parents have a winter home. They travel back and forth between their Michigan and Florida home, so when they aren't there, we have the opportunity to stay!...
Hi friends! I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas and are gearing up for a wonderful start to the New Year! Before the new year is upon us, I wanted to share some of the highlights of the Christmas season!
December started off with one of my favorite annual parties, my sisters "Favorite Things" party! Sarah throws this party every year around Christmas, and it is always such a special time to gather with girlfriends, enjoy a delicious meal, and have a gift exchange full of everyones...
Sean and I are so incredibly excited to announce that we are expecting one of God's greatest gifts, a baby, due on Fathers Day 2017! I’m sure many of you may be curious about the details, so I decided to do a pregnancy Q&A! This has been one of the hardest secrets to keep, and I am so excited to finally share the details with you all! Yayyy!!!
How did you find out you were pregnant and what were your first pregnancy symptoms?
I found out I was pregnant on October 8th, when I was babysitting my...
Hey friends! Is it just me, or does it always seem to surprise you guys at how quickly summer comes and goes! I do have to say though, just as much as I love summer, I am just as excited about fall, because it is just beautiful this time of year here in Michigan!
But, before we say goodbye to the summer season, I wanted to share some of the highlights of the season around here!
One of the things I love about summer is the fresh fruit and vegetables, and being able to grill! I certainly will...
If you can’t tell by all of the tools we have created here at Dashing Dish (ie: meal planning tools), I am a natural born planner! In addition to being a planner, I am also a creature of habit, which means that I thrive off of routines.
While I know that not everyone is born with this type of personality, I do believe that it is possible to develop a routine that anyone can stick with! Just like anything else, we can all develop habits, whether they come naturally, or we repeat behaviors...
