Birthstone Jewelry

I'm stepping onto my Mommy Soap Box for a second.... How sweet is this birthstone nameplate bracelet?!

I have a necklace with my sons' names and birthstones, but this is a serious competitor! Granted, I would need two, but for you moms that only have one child, this is so great! Wonder if you can add another stone and another name?

This bracelet would also make a really amazing gift for a mom or grandma. I'm in love.

Off soap box...

What types of jewelry do you like to display your little one's birthstones?

Baby in a Stocking

Thank you, Footstone Photography

I was just looking at this picture and cannot believe this was a year ago. We posed our 7 day old baby in a Christmas Stocking. And hung him using a Command Adhesive Strip.(Previous words may be slightly exaggerated)

Our life has changed so much in a year, and I won't get all sappy on you, I'll wait until my New Year's post for that...but for now.

Life has grown, tremendously.

It is great to have friends, dear, amazing, talented friends! Krystal of Verve Studio took this uber adorable photography of Zachary flying.

Believe it or not, our own little Superman turned 8 months this past week. I cannot believe how fast time is flying. Flying - get it... flying!

Our little family has grown by leaps and bounds, and so our our little blog! I feel SO blessed!

He's pretty stinkin' cute, right?

Cookies and Milk Cake

I was thinking about food (which frankly isn't a new thing for me) and when I was, I came across this cake on Pinterest. And really, if you'ven been on Pinterest for at least 20 seconds, it's a terrible thing for your waist line.

Which I thought was ironcal, because when Amy planned my baby shower, it was a Milk and Cookies theme, and Posh Pastry made THIS amazing cake for me. This cake was just as delicious as it looks!

Merry Christmas

I cannot believe I never showed you this!

Zachary Ryan was born on November 9th, 2011, and we were so blessed to welcome him to our family!

He was the best Christmas Gift E-vah!

Thank you Footstone Photography for this amazing newborn session - and a big thanks to Command Adhesive Hooks...
