Life With Lyla: Three-Year Update
Hi friends!
Can you all believe my baby girl is THREE years old?! Last week, she started preschool in her new class at daycare, and she was so excited! I’m sure all you mamas can relate to it. It’s such a bittersweet moment when your kiddo moves up to another class. Part of me wants to freeze time and keep her this little forever, and the other part is so excited to see what’s in store next for my sweet girl.

Spidey Themed Birthday Party
Hey friends!!
Today, I am hopping on here to share all about Lyla’s 3rd birthday party theme! Never in a million years did I think I would be throwing a Spidey-themed party for my little girl, but what can I say, she loves her superheroes! Plus, I had a lot of fun throwing a girly twist on it!

Baby #2 Second Trimester Recap
Hey friends!
Wow, I can’t believe we are already in the middle of July! This past weekend, we celebrated Kent’s birthday, and in two weeks, we’ll be celebrating Lyla’s 3rd birthday! Lots of celebrating in our household! I hope all of you are doing well and enjoying your Summer!
Today, I wanted to hop on here and share a recap of my second trimester with baby #2! For starters, in case you missed it, we are having another GIRL! Lyla gets her baby sister, and we are over the moon about bringing another little girl into the family. It’s funny, I used to tell myself I wanted one boy and one girl. However, after having Lyla, I fell in love with being a girl mom, and so I’m excited for all the girly things to come!

Baby #2: First Trimester Recap
Hey friends!
Wow, it’s been a while since I’ve posted here! I’ve just been really busy working, enjoying toddlerhood with Lyla (minus the tantrums 😜), and, you know, growing a baby!!! Keeping this a secret has been SO hard! So many times, I almost slipped up and shared it on social media.

Halloween Entertaining
Hey friends! ✨
Happy October! My favorite month of the year! Today, I am sharing links to fun and festive Halloween pieces that can be used for Halloween parties and get togethers. So, if you are hosting a Halloween party and on the hunt for some Halloween party decor, make sure to check out some of the items I’ve found down below! Happy Haunting! 👻

Oneder The Sea
Hey friends!
Today, I’m coming at you with a throwback post of Lyla’s 1st birthday party theme! I never got a chance to share the details from that party, and I figured I’d share in case any of you have mermaid-loving girls. When I picked this theme for her first birthday, it was primarily because mermaids were insanely popular. The new “Little Mermaid” movie also came out, making finding decorations easy. I also think it’s a cute theme for little ones born in the warmer months because you can set up water activities to get the full mermaid experience!

Life With Lyla: Two-Year Update
Hello everyone!
How are you guys doing? Please drop a comment below and let me know. I’m ecstatic that Fall is officially here! This morning felt glorious and I can’t wait for more crisp Fall days! Today, I’m finally getting around to sharing Lyla’s two-year update! It’s still mind-boggling that I have a two-year-old. Where has the time gone? Anyway, I’ve got lots to share with you guys so let’s get started!

About to Be Something New, Lyla’s Turning Two!
Hello friends!
How are you guys doing? I feel like it’s been forever since I’ve been on here and shared. Life with a toddler has kept me busy. I can’t believe I have a two-year-old, you guys! It’s wild! I plan to share an update about our sweet girl in a separate post, but let’s talk about the party details!

2024 Valentine’s Day Home Tour
Hello friends! ✨
I hope your week has been going well. Today, I am sharing my Valentine’s Day decor for 2024! Some of the pieces you might recognize, but I did pick up a few new items too. I was drawn to the pinks and creams this year. I find this color combo so dreamy and romantic. I’ve wanted to slowly phase out the red decor for a more neutral theme. You’ll notice that I stuck to the pink/cream theme downstairs and used the red pieces upstairs. Anyway, I hope you enjoy and draw some inspiration from this for your own home! Let me know in the comments what color scheme you enjoy using for Valentine’s Day! 💕

2024 Goals
Hello friends! ✨
I hope you are all having a wonderful start to 2024. It’s been a while since I’ve posted and I’ve missed sharing updates here. I’m going to try to get back into the swing of blogging/posting content on a more regular basis this year. Today, I wanted to give a life update and share some of my goals and wishes for this upcoming year. I’m one of those people who look forward to the New Year. I love the idea of a “fresh start” and enjoy setting goals on things I want to work on: personally, professionally, and spiritually.

Life With Lyla: 12 Month Update
Hello everyone!
I hope you are all doing well and had a terrific Summer! We celebrated Lyla’s first birthday on July 27th!! I still can’t believe we have a one-year-old! I will be posting the party details in a separate blog post so be on the lookout for that! Today, I wanted to share her 12-month update. This will be the last one for a while. I plan to start doing them yearly from now on. I feel like every time I look at Lyla she is doing something new. It’s been an exciting time and as chaotic as life gets, I’m trying to remember to embrace the craziness of it all because I know it won’t be like this forever.

Life With Lyla: 11 Month Update
Hey everyone! ✨
As usual, I’m behind on Lyla’s updates, but the last few weeks have been SO busy! My mom had shoulder surgery at the end of June. Kent’s been taking care of some family things out of town, and to top things off, we all caught a nasty virus around the 4th of July. Thankfully, we are on the mend and have been getting ready for Lyla’s 1st birthday! I can’t believe our baby is going to be ONE! ✨

Life With Lyla: 10 Month Update
Hello everyone!
Ten months… it’s so crazy saying that! That’s how old our Lyla Brooke is now! Her 10-month was extra special because it was also my birthday 🙂. I love that we share the same day and Kent and her share the same month. Time sure is flying, but Kent and I love watching our girl grow! She’s Lyla the explorer and has no problem showing Mom and Dad how independent she is! 😉 So let’s just dive into all the fun and exciting things she’s been up to this month!

Life With Lyla: 9 Month Update
Hello friends!
Wow, I can’t believe I’m writing Lyla’s 9-month update! It’s wild how fast time is going. Lyla is getting SO big! Her daycare workers and I were just reminiscing the other day about how when Lyla was a newborn, she’d curl up into a little ball on our chests and fall asleep. Now, she’s so long that she takes up most of my chest/torso if she lays on me. Sometimes I miss the newborn stage and all the sweet cuddles, but I’m also enjoying the new stage we’re in. Lyla’s little personality is starting to flourish and she is full-on mobile these days. One thing that hasn’t changed so much is her hair, haha. It’s still crazy as ever, just a lot lighter than when she was a newborn. Her daycare workers tell us it reminds them of a dandelion when it blows in the wind 🙂.

Lyla’s Nursery Theme
Hey everyone!
Today, I’m sharing all the details about Lyla’s nursery theme! This post is long overdue, so thank you for being patient with me. For those that have been following along, you’ll know that we decided to do Twinkle twinkle little star for her nursery theme. This theme came to life after Kent and I found out we were having a girl. We went shopping for a crib and I saw a sign at the furniture store that read “Twinkle twinkle little star, do you know how loved you are?”. I loved the saying and so I began to brainstorm ideas.

Life With Lyla: 8-Month Update
Hello everyone!
I’m so excited to be sharing Lyla’s 8-month update with you! She had a busy month and I’ve got all kinds of fun things to update you on!

Life With Lyla: 7 Month Update
Hi friends!
I hope you all enjoyed Lyla’s 6-month update! Today, I’m sharing stories and milestones she reached in month 7. I say it every month, but her personality has developed so much. It’s crazy to see the differences between how she was as a newborn to now. I remember she was so chill as a newborn and now she’s our sassy little diva, haha. If she doesn’t like something, she will let you know. Kicking her feet, arching her back, and swatting our hands away are her go-to moves. 😉

Life With Lyla: 6-Month Update
Hi friends! ✨
I hope everyone is doing well. It’s a rainy gloomy day outside so I thought I’d finally sit down and catch up on some blog stuff! That is if Lyla allows for it. 🙂 The 6-month mark hit differently. I realized that she was halfway to her first birthday which is insane to me! It feels like just yesterday we were bringing her home. Anyway, I’ve got lots to update you guys on so let’s go ahead and jump into it!

Life With Lyla: 5 Month Update
Hey friends!
I hope you are all doing well. Obviously, as you can tell by the date of this that I’m very behind on Lyla’s 5-month update. Between the holidays and our family being sick, I had to put my blog on the back burner. However, my goal is to get back on track this year and create more consistent content. With that being said, Lyla is doing exceptionally well!

Life With Lyla: 4 Month Update
Hey friends!
Lyla turned 4 months old on November 27th! It blows my mind how big she is getting! It’s bittersweet seeing her grow up. One part of me loves to see all the new things she is learning and the milestones she is reaching. However, the other part of me wants her to stay little forever.
