Over the past week my husband and I have snuck in a little more date nights than normal. Some of that time spent with other couples, some just alone, some while we were all dressed up and some of it in our sweats. It had been a few weeks since we really had time together [...]

Turning Three
For at least 5 months now, Cora has been asking for the same toy at Target. Every week we go to the baby doll aisle, she picks up the box and stares at it lovingly. She goes over everything that comes in the box, pink baby, diaper, bottle, and binky. Then we say goodbye to [...]
October Chaos
October is my second favorite month, following July. It is full of traditions, fall excitement, our anniversary, Cora's birthday, special Halloween outings and so much more but today, I'm glad it is the last day of this month.
