Sunny Days

The weather was absolutely beautiful today....minus the wind! Ellie absolutely loves being outside and especially loves farm animals. Cows, horses, chickens, etc. Anytime you asks she's always up to go see the animals! When I picked her up today we decided to take advantage of the weather and go play outside where there are some cows! We talked to the cows, played on a tractor, counted rocks and picked up sticks! Of course no post is complete without pictures! Here's some from our adventure!

Happy Valentine's Day

LOVE this sweet little valentine!

Birthday Party Planning

How is it possible that my sweet baby girl is about to be 2?!?!?!? We are in the middle of planning a super special party for this sweet girl! I have to give props to a vendor that i've been working with that has been FANTASTIC.

I have been working with The Trendy Butterfly on creating the perfect invitations and other paper goods for sweet Ellie's party! I came across their site on etsy and after reading the fantastic reviews I thought I'd give it a shot. I emailed the invite I was interested in, my ideas to change it up, etc and in LESS THAN 24 HOURS I had a proof in my inbox!!!! Everything that I have picked out has been that quick!

The Trendy Butterfly offers MUCH more than children's party invitations! Custom T-Shirts, Frames, Piggy Banks, Pillow Cases, Storage Stepstools AND fun things for us older girls too....Custom Cutting Boards, iPhone Cases, etc.

Once again I can say enough wonderful things about this vendor!!! I'm off to work with them on designing myself a new iPhone case :).

I've been working with a few others that I will post reviews of once my products are complete!

Bad Blogger

I've been a terrible blogger lately and doubt I have any followers left!!! I have no excuses we've just been busy with life! A friend and I recently joined weight watchers so if anyone has any encouragement or recipes to share please do!!

Heres a sweet sneak peek from this weekends valentine session :). What a difference a year makes. My header pic is from valentines last year! I can't believe this girl is almost two!
