Happy 1st Birthday Stone!

The week of Stone's birthday I was extremely emotional about his 1st birthday. So much happened while I was pregnant with him and his 1st year of life. It was all so bittersweet. I knew I needed to stop crying and just celebrate the miracle that God had blessed our family. Stone's 1st birthday fell on our 5th year wedding anniversary. Yes, this little stinker decided to surprise us not only being born at 35 weeks, but on our wedding anniversary. He really wanted the attention in our family.

The day of his 1st birthday I took the day off on his birthday and we just hung out as a family. Mike made Stone birthday cake. Jett, Mike, Nee and Papa were there to sing his 1st birthday song. We wanted to take it easy since the next day was his blowout birthday bash! It was a great 5th anniversary and 1st birthday!

Happy 1st Birthday my little fighter!! You really beat all the odds that life has brought to you. You never gave up and we are so proud of you. I thought it would be so hard to love another child, but I was wrong. My heart grew like I never thought it could and you have taught me so much as a mother. You are an amazing blessing to us. Your sweet smile and gorgeous eyes just makes my heart melt. Your brother Jett thinks the world of you. He told me the other day that he was so excited for you to grow up so you both could play toys! You amaze us. Continue to be the fighter that you are and you will succeed in life my son. I love you.

Happy 1st Birthday my sweet Stone!

Confessions of a New Mommy....I am unhappy....

This blog is really not the true topic you would be reading about (DIY stuff), but I need to get this off my chest. To make me sane again as a person. I am going to lay it all out in the open, which I rarely do (I feel like Jerry in the movie "Jerry Maguire" at this point ha!). Do you want to know what it is really like to be a first time mom? The truth not the "fluff" about how it is really hard, but the most rewarding thing EVER and so on and so on (it is rewarding, but there is more too it). Keep reading! I have officially been a mother to a live male human being for 18 weeks & 4 days. In the books you read and in the clasess you are told that this thing called being a mom is HARD because you will be so tired with the feedings, putting the baby to sleep and blah blah blah...... Yes yes yes yes....I am tired & sleepy....with my son thinking I am an "all you can eat buffet" at 2 am & 4 am. Yes yes yes yes....I am frustrated that my baby do...

Jett's Vintage Train 3rd Birthday Party!

I was really excited about planning Jett's party because we would throw the party at our new home. So many possibilities!! I always try to brainstorm ideas months prior to the party so I can slowly come up with stuff and create them. I started to think of things that Jett was really into at this part of his life. He loves planes, but we did that for his 1st birthday. He loves tractor, we did that for his 2nd party. Now at almost 3 he loved trains and Superman! So I asked Jett in November, "Jett do you want a choo-choo train party or Superman?" and Jett yells, "CHOO CHOO TRAIN!!" PERFECT!! I was now thinking of things to do and how to decorate for this party. Of course everything has to start with the invitation. I created the invitation myself. I went with a old style boarding pass. This invitation is no longer available at my etsy shop . However, a new & improved one I made from my youngest son's birthday (below) is available to pe...

DIY-Chic, but Simple Hydrangea Centerpiece

I believe the hydrangea is one of the most chic flowers. It is so pure in its' delicate form with its' full blossom. Sweet, simple and elegant. I love all the variety of colors that they come in, but my favorite is the classic white. I had always wanted hydrangeas for my centerpieces at my wedding reception. I had received quotes from florists for just 1 white jumbo hydrangea in a simple 6" glass vase for at least $40+. Yes, just for 1 stem! I thought that price was just absurd because all it was just one stem they were sticking into the vase and not a whole bushel of them. Sooooo I started to research online of brides who had DIY their centerpieces using hydrangeas and I heard from them all that it was pretty easy task. So I decided to just do 1/2 of my centerpieces with fresh white jumbo hydrangeas. Best decision I ever made! Saved me a ton of $$$. I was going to purchase my jumbo white hydrangeas originally from Sam's Club who I have heard great things about. But I ...
