Saturday, October 31, 2015
“And I’d choose you; in a hundred lifetimes,  in a hundred worlds, in any version of reality,  I’d find you and I’d choose you.” So today marks us being together for thirteen long, wonderful and chaotic years! I still can't believe we have survived and surpassed every challenges thrown upon us! Lord knows the struggle we have gone through in the past thirteen...

Sew Fun: Robes & Kimonos!

Saturday, October 24, 2015
Ever have trouble finding a nice comfy robe in the print you like that isn't pricey? Not I! I love wearing robes, mainly in the winter time because most of the robes I have are the thick, fleeced ones, which is too hot to wear any other time of the year! Plus, with labor and delivery nearing, I have been on a hunt...

Here goes another maternity session post! And since we're still waiting on our gallery from the family one we did with a friend, I figured I'd go ahead and blog the one John did!

It felt amazingly weird to be posing for our...

Sew Fun: Maternity Dress, sorta.

Friday, October 16, 2015
I finished this project two days ago. It took me a couple days to figure this one out! I guess it was meant to be because when I finally figured it out and was ready to buy fabric, the fabric I needed, Knit ITY was 50% off, as well as the other solid stretchy fabric I needed!!  Don't ask me how that happens...

We started off with a lazy Sunday type of morning and this weeks bump update pictures shows it! It was around 7 am when I started to feel baby moving around in my tummy and it woke me.

Two decorations were done this week and they were John's projects! When we first started planning for the nursery we agreed that he'd be in charged of the hot air balloons, and he didn't let me down! Of course we collaborated together and he asked for my input, but in the end he got the last say. He originally asked me if we...

I have been wanting one of these things for a while now! I first saw them on Etsy and was totally tempted to order every single time I saw it! The one I made is a scrapbook type of thing rather than an actual photo albums like they sell on Etsy. They also have these for people who have an UP themed wedding...
