Every Halloween my family gets together for the party of the year and our favorite thing about it is seeing everyone's costumes. We like to keep things quiet until the big reveal and it is worth it every. single. time. And this year did not disappoint! Remember last year how we went as the cast of Forrest Gump ? Or the one year we went as the hilarious (at the time, not so much now) Brangelina ? Since I know you are all just dying  of anticipation, I present you... Stranger Things! If you somehow missed the boat on the wildly popular Netflix show, Stranger Things, you really should watch it. If you enjoy 80's Sci-fi movies like Goonies, ET, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Indiana Jones, Poltergeist, Super 8, etc. You'd seriously love this show. In fact, I'd wager you could watch the show in two, if not one sitting. Trust me, you wont want to stop. Here we have from left to right going clockwise, my beautiful mother as Will Byers. 😜  My dad as Dr. Brenner a...

The crisp wind is blowing and there's a slight chill in the air.  The moon is full and bright and there are witches everywhere!  Fall is in full gear in Utah and I AM LOVING IT! Can we please just live in a world that's October all year round? If you're in Utah and haven't gone to Gardner Village for Witch Fest, you should definitely check it out. We had plans to go and although it was a bit rainy, we didn't mind. Sweaters make everything better.  Sweaters and Freshly Picked Moccasins are basically my favorite fall accessories ever.  I am sure you've heard of the wildly popular Freshly Picked moccasins and if you haven't, you will.  I had my eye on these ever since Paisley was born but since we we're on a strict budget, I couldn't justify getting them until we had our third baby and didn't need to buy other baby essentials since we already had a crib and all that jazz. Well let me just say that now that I have them, I consider them essential.  Ye...

I cannot comprehend how my little guy is officially six months old already... and I further can't believe it's taken this long to get his nursery done! Better late than never eh? I have loved putting together this nursery for Hendricks. This little man has been a delight to be around lately. He is funny, snuggly and a total mama's boy. And I love it. Anyway, I could go on and on about this little guy but for this post, let's stick to the nursery eh? I've linked everything below including a tutorial. You guys, this is my favorite room in the house. It may be the only room decorated in my house, but whatev. Haha. Isn't he SCRUMCIOUS!? Oh I could just eat him up.  Ok so! I got the DARLING Black and White Animal Prints from  Prints and Printables . I seriously loved working with Shelby. She was such a trooper and helped me sizing the images because I had some odd shaped frames and am totally clueless on how to do that myself. (Whoa that was a total run on sentence ...

  The other day I was nursing the babe and doing what I do best, scrolling through my Instagram when a video caught my eye. I couldn't tell you why I decided to click on it, but I did. The video was of a young girl getting her Quincenera dress and it ends with the phrase: "Femininity is a Super Power." I. LOVE. THAT. Let me tell you why. . . First off, the word 'femininity' is different than 'feminism' or 'feminist'. A feminist is someone who supports women's equal rights to men, thus making them a supporter of feminism, right? Well what is femininity? Not to go all teach-y on you, but I looked it up and here is what I found: "The quality of being female; womanliness."  Guys!....  FEMININITY IS A SUPERPOWER!   Now disclaimer here: I am in NO way opposed to feminism or feminists but I think the topic of FEMININITY is something that we don't necessarily accept as a culture. In fact, I naively went on to read the comments thinking I...
