Photo Love: My Third Mother's Day

This Sunday was my third Mother's Day! I can't believe how blessed I have been since becoming a mom. Of course, the best part is my sweet Carter who just brings so much greatness to my life! There's nothing like watching your child grow. Just his smile is enough to make my day. And I love being able to see and understand the world through his eyes.







Every day of motherhood is a step of the journey and an opportunity to learn. Seriously, the way I see it is that becoming a mom has changed the way I look at life. It has helped me to be more appreciative and loving. And it made me realize that my main purpose in life is to be a mom, to have a family. Being a mom has allowed me to let love guide my life. How amazing is that?

Well, this Sunday, Carter joined me, my mom, my aunts, and my grandma on an outing at our favorite farm. The weather was fabulous and we just sat and laughed and enjoyed the scenery - while nibbling on fresh tarts and muffins. Carter had a blast rolling in the grass, gazing at all of the flowers, and visiting the little animals.
















Once Kyle was done work, it was his turn to spend some time with me (Trust me. I had a blast using the "it's my day" line). And we went out to see The Avengers. We had been dying to see it ever since it came out. Let's just say that I was not let down. Pretty awesome movie.

So, a day with my Carter and a night with my hubby... a lovely Mother's Day indeed!

Hope all you mamas had a great Mother's Day too!

Valentine's day & yarn wreaths





Happy Valentine's day - only the best day ever! Come on... what is better than the combination of Ryan Gosling, chocolate, roses, pampering, love letters, presents, and a date that you (most likely) don't have to pay for?! In other words, get your cuddle on! I love that I have two Valentines each year... although Carter doesn't realize I have already claimed him.

Also, because today is about everything lovely, I thought I'd share my latest creations. I let my crafty soul out about a month ago and started making yarn wreaths! They take some time but are so fun and pretty. I've made a few so far and right now they're just eye candy (I don't really have anywhere to hang them). At least Carter has put my yarn wreaths to use - as toys of course - and they usually end up on his head.





Hope this Valentine's day is making your heart fuzzy and warm! Xs and Os!
