Hi friends!

Hope you are having a great week! Today I am sharing our intimate family celebration Tea Party for Two for Ella’s second birthday. We did the decor and the food ourselves and I loved how it turned out. Not going to lie I did stay up till 3am one night to do the balloon garland, but it was well worth it. Check out more of our Tea Party for Two DIY below!

For the decor I used my own antique tea sets as flower vases and a tea cup as a cake topper. I also bought this inexpensive cheesecloth runner to add to our kitchen island. For the serving trays I reused these serving trays I’ve had for years. They are inexpensive and a great investment if you like to host. I also found this pretty Happy Birthday burlap banner for under $10!

For the food I made these individual charcuterie cups that were a hit. I felt it would be easier for self serve than a traditional cheese board. We also had traditional tea sandwiches, scones, and desserts!

I love how the balloon garland turned out and the floral number two in our entry way for her Tea Party for Two. It was the perfect picture backdrop. We really enjoyed hosting our family for our first birthday celebration and look forward to having many more!

Where does the time go?

Can’t believe I have a two year old yall! The last time we had a two year old was seven years ago when Jayden turned two. Just to think she was one a year ago, and now we have a very active two years old! This girl has more personality than anyone I know. It is night and day how much she has grown. She loves to talk, read books, and push boundaries. This girl is very determined and a great problem solver. Let’s just say there isn’t anything I’ve said No to that she hasn’t found a way around. She is too smart for her own good. I wouldn’t be surprised if she was gifted just like her brother.

This girl keeps me on my toes and exhausted running after her, but I wouldn’t want it any other way. This stage is my favorite minus the diapers, but we will be potty training her soon now that we are moving into our new house. I love watching her little personality grow. I definitely see a lot of me in her. This girl is going to be a go getter, and one tough cookie. She might be rebellious her teenage years but I’m ready lol. Girl is just like her mama. Here are a few of her favorite things below.

Same dress, one year apart. I can’t believe how much she has grown and changed. My sweet little girlie.

5 Things Ella LOVES At Two:

1. Cats – Yes she is like her mama, she loves her kitties and can’t get enough of them. We are still working on her gentle touch but I definitely see her being a cat lady like her mama.
2. Sweets – How many times I’ve put sweets away, only to find her on the counter or table with her mouth full of pie, brownies, or cookie. This girl has a sweet tooth like me and her daddy. She loves to eat, and it makes me so happy. She is the type of eater that when the food is good she eats with her eyes close and does a little dance lol.
3. Books – I think we have another reader on our hands like her bubba. She loves reading and at night puts herself to sleep reading books in her crib.
4. Ms. Rachel – Ella only watches one thing in our house and it’s Ms. Rachel. She loves her and learns so much from her. She knows all of her songs, phrases, and loves repeating anything Ms. Rachel says. And if we are having a bad day Ms. Rachel always knows how to calm her down.
5. Stuff animals – This girl loves stuff animals. She loves sleeping with them, carrying them everywhere, playing with them, and cuddling and kissing them. I can see her as a future animal lover like me. She is going to make the best farm girl.

My beautiful little Ella. Thankful to be your mamma and watch you grow. Here’s to the best year yet!

Hey friends,

Hope you are doing well! I can’t believe our sweet little Daisy is nine months already. Where has time gone. It get’s harder and harder to keep up with the monthly progress with three kids and building a custom home. But I want to document as much as I can of my babies. Daisy is just the happiest babe who loves to smile and laugh. She even rivals her big sister Ella in screaming matches lol. She is currently eating solid foods on her own and crawling. I can’t believe we are already at this stage. I remember with my first wishing to be the first in all the milestones, and now I just want her to slow down and take her time.

I’m so thankful and blessed to have such a perfect little babe. I know I say that about every one of my children, but I truly believe God made them perfect exactly as they are. And I am just blessed to be there mother.

Hi friends,

Hope you are doing well! Can you believe it my little Daisy girl is six months already! Time has flown by. It’s definitely harder this time around to keep up with the monthly updates, but I am going to do what I can. Daisy is just the sweetest happiest baby, and I know I say that about every one of my kiddos, but they really are. I feel very blessed to have happy babies. Check out more below!

Daisy has officially transitioned out of our bed. It was a bittersweet moment because I thought it would last longer, but she grew uncomfortable and didn’t sleep well with us. The moment we put her in her bassinet she slept so much better. Daisy is almost on the same sleep schedule with Ella which makes it so much easier for this mama. I’m hoping once we move into this house they can sleep in the same room. I love the idea of sisters sharing the same room. My sister and I grew up sharing a room and loved it.

We love watching our sweet Daisy grow. I hope she keeps her little chunky legs for a while. I can’t stop squeezing them lol.
