toddler boy gift guide + cam’s wish list

by Karrie


DRESS SHIRT // TOOL BENCH // SWEATER // JEANS + SUSPENDERS // STUFFED PUPPY // CHRISTMAS PAJAMAS //FUR POM BEANIES //CAMPFIRE KIT // SWEATER “OH DEER” // WOODEN TRUCK TOY (similar) // HUNTER BOOTS

With the season upon us, I thought it would be helpful for you boy mamas/aunts that I put together a guide with some toddler boy gift ideas. Everyone always says how “hard it is to dress boys” or how there are “so many cute girl things, but not enough boy things”, and I find them very wrong about that! I hope that these gift guides are somewhat helpful, especially during the holiday season. All of the things I am listing off have either been purchased by us for Cam, or on “his” Christmas list. I always get questions about where I shop for Cam, so hopefully this helps!Read More

last halloween as a family of 3

by Karrie




Is it awful of me to say I’m so sad this is our last Halloween as a family of 3? Cam is getting to be such a fun age to trick or treat with and I feel that the years are just going to get better! It will be fun to add in our new addition for halloween, but I always secretly feel guilty at the same time. This year was a blast! We had my parents over for chili, drinks, and scary movies after trick or treating with Cam. Check out his amazing costume below!Read More

28 week bumpdate

by Karrie


DIAPER BAG // JOGGERS // TEE

Okay- I asked if you all wanted to see another bumpdate and majority said yes! I’m still being a total slacker letting 8 weeks go by since my last, but life is busy! We have had some crazy ups and downs the past couple weeks that I’ll disclose at a later time, but for now I do have something SO exciting to share about this pregnancy (well for me it is)! Read More

As many of you know, I have been super lax about doing a weekly bumpdate (sorry!). I have been so busy with Cam, changing jobs, and being exhausted that I just haven’t had much time or energy to relish this pregnancy. I know that sounds horrible, but it’s definitely been an adjustment! Read More

cam’s first fiesta

by Karrie

Cam’s first fiesta was by far one of the best days ever! First of all, he is an (early) June baby, so the weather was perfect; but the theme was EVERYTHING! I am so not a “theme girl”, but can you go wrong with cactuses, tacos, and colorful decor? No. No you cannot. Mexican Fiesta, it is! Check out this fun day!Read More

cam’s cake smash

cake smash

As we prepare for Cam’s first birthday (cue the tears), we decided to do a little fiesta-themed cake smash fun! We chose to keep our set super simple since I wanted Cam and the cactuses to stand out. My purpose is to put some of these photos in frames out for his first birthday fiesta. However, I also wanted them to put in our house as well. Therefore, I wanted to keep the set pretty neutral, but still fun.Read More

more mama questions, answered

by Karrie

The last time I did a post about nursing and troubleshooting your breast pump (see here), I got a lot of great feedback and even MORE questions. I decided I would compose some of the most frequently asked mama questions following my last post. These questions have everything to do with mommin’, nursing, biting, tantrums, etc. And I promise, I will keep them coming, as long as you all keep those questions coming!
