What an awesome summer we had with Little Henry! (Even though I think my biggest highlight was finally being done with his nose stents on August 20th) I know the nose stents are a necessary evil, but boy did I HATE them! Anyway, now we have a whole other hurdle to jump over. Palate …
One of the reasons we bought this house was an amazing sunroom off of the kitchen/dining room. But it looked like it was out of an 90’s issue of DIY Home, especially the ceiling fan. So as I was priming the walls and a beam in the ceiling I realized if I wanted to update …
3 weeks after Henry’s lip/nose/gum repair surgery he had nose stents placed. This is the most aggravating things we have had to deal with so far. The nose stents are put into place to shape and open up the inside of the nose and keep scar tissue from blocking the nasal passage. Some surgeons or …
Are you excited!? That was one of the first things people would ask me when I mentioned that Henry’s surgery was coming up. How do I answer…am I excited about no more NAM and taping everyday? Yes. Am I excited that my son will be put through a 7.5 hour surgery, have a “three” week …
When Henry was born he was taken to the Nursery for monitoring because his heart rate would speed up and then drop. We were told by our cleft team that many hospitals would always just take cleft babies into the NICU. The cleft team was very adamant that if the only reason the baby was …
At my routine 36 week appointment with my doctor she decided to break the news that I was 2cm dilated and 50% effaced. Henry was definitely not going to make to my due date of October 22nd. He would come anytime… Of course this was the “Oh shit this is real” moment for me! So …
As I sit here, our little Henry just fell back asleep in his swing after pulling out his NAM (nasal alveolar molding) and now I am getting new tape, rubber bands and glue together so when he wakes up I can put it back in. It’s also my birthday, and about 6 weeks before his first surgery …
So our little Henry is now 12 weeks old and I am finally getting around to writing a new post! I am totally in love with our new little man and I am also in love with his room. We choose to have his room the biggest, besides the master because since he was …
I love natural elements, anyone will tell you that I’m obsessed with rocks and anything nature. So for our little Henry’s nursery I wanted to add some of these elements and here is what I came up with. I am in absolute love with these. They are my favorite things in the nursery! So …
Well it finally happened! We have closed on our new house! After 3 years of on and off looking we are in our forever home. We put the offer in on February 17th (my birthday) and we closed on May 20th. It feels so good to finally be in our own home…and now the fun …
In one of my stagings that I was completing for an investor, there was a beautiful fireplace, but the artwork I grabbed for the mantel didn’t seem to be working. The home had large windows and was surrounded by woods, I didn’t want the art above the fireplace to fight with the natural beauty surrounding …
I was so excited when I found out my preggo best friend was having a girl. She is the first girl in a sea of little boys so of course I started imagining all of the pretty things I would make for her. One item I knew I had to make was a little tutu! I think …
I love rocks. Ever since I was a little kid I have been collecting all kinds of rocks. I even had them as the place cards at my wedding! While looking at some of my rocks I began thinking of way I could use them and decided to try to incorporate them in my jewelry and …
