Clementine's Newborn Album


I recently found some fabulous mini accordian albums for my photography clients and I decided I definitely needed one for my sweet little Clementine's newborn photos I took. So, I whipped up this darling little album using Paislee Press's Meant to Be Kit. 


I love these little close ups of her face and hands. I can't wait to see this all printed up on a little accordian album; I may go accordian album happy for christmas gifts!

Happy Birthday Rhonna!


It's a fabulous Team Tuesday from Rhonna Designs today! Just look what she has in store for everyone on her super happy fun birthday:


How much do you love this Spooky Typography Halloween printable? I can't wait to order it from Persnickety Prints, along with some of my most favorite Halloween photos of my kids I took last week. 


And look what else Rhonna has as a gift, just for today for her newsletter subscribers: a new Insta Fun Kit! I'm obsessed with all the Insta kits, and this one is just as fantastic as the others. I love how versatile all the designs are.


Be sure you sign up for the newsletter on the Rhonna Designs website to get the inside scoop on all the new kits she releases and special offers & freebies. 


And last but not least, here is my first Halloween entry- Neighborhood Boos! Handing out Boos is my favorite Halloween tradition to do with my kids. We all venture out at night in the dark and leave little presents on two neighbors doorsteps, then ring the doorbell and run and hide. It's always hilarious to do with the littles; they can never keep quiet ;) Then your neighbors spread the Halloween cheer and pick two more neighbors to BOO! It's so much fun; start it in your neighborhood this year!

Clementine's Birth Story

I am baffled by the fact that Clementine is now one month old. Time has literally flown by like Dorothy's house in that twister, and it's like we've always had six kids. Between the kids and Braden's school, my photography, potty training the twins, preparing for Halloween, Bunco, preparing for my sister's wedding & bridal shower, and I'm sure there's more that I'm forgetting- I've barely had time to breathe. But, during the times that I do, I make extra sure to say an extra special thank you prayer for getting to be so lucky. If you've never had the experience of taking a nap with a brand new baby sleeping on your chest, then let me tell you; you're in for a treat my friend. There is truly nothing better.


Eryn made me a treasure of a video of Clementine's Birth Story, and I am pleased as punch to share it with everyone. Happy Monday!

Yes, I'm alive. But barely.

It's been two and a half weeks since Clementine arrived and because we apparently lost our marbles, we decided to potty train Evelyn & Georgia since Teeny Tiny was such a piece of cake. It's been a week and a half now and I'm just now barely able to come up for air. I'll tell you right now, potty training is hell and I hate it; but now that they've gotten the hang of it I can tell it will definitely make our lives easier.


We were all a hot mess all last week, so obviously I was less present in my "online life" to be more present in my "real life".  But I have so much to share with everyone! It's been stockpiling, so be prepared for some blog awesomeness- woot woot! I have my maternity album to share, Clementine's Newborn portraits, our birth story video coming up, lots of Halloween fun, and more so get excited.

New to the blog today is my first "Workout Wednesday" post which features what I've been doing lately workin' on my fitness. People always ask others what they do to try and get in shape, especially after having a baby so I thought I'd share what I'm doing in case others don't know where to start.


I don't really have the time to get a gym membership (although once most of my bitties are in school, I'd LOVE to get one), so I have to do as much as I can from home. I found this awesome website, bodyrock.tv, awhile ago- they have a TON of great, fast workout that make a big impact in a short amount of time, which I like. This morning I did the Diamonds Workout, but modified since I'm so stinkin out of shape.


Also, I've been trying to do yoga every morning. You can find free podcasts on Itunes- I use 20 minute Yoga Sessions and switch it up every time so I don't get bored. This morning I did the 20 minute Power Yoga before the kids woke up at 5:00 am, and I already feel like today is going to be a good day. So, I spent less than 45 minutes to get a decent workout in. If I can do it, you can too!

Our Darling Clementine Has Arrived

In case you missed the big announcement on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram- Clementine arrived last week! She is the most lovely thing around town, and we are head over heels smitten with her.


Last week was spent getting into the groove of life with 6 kids, but I think we've gotten acclimated and I even snuck in her first photo session- more of those photos to come!
