FEATURES ON THIS POST:

Hi friends,

Hope you are having a great week! So lately after a slew of glamorous photos with me and husband on my blog, my friends commented on how I was lucky to have such a photogenic husband, and asked for tips for how to get their significant other to take professional photos with them.

So today I thought it would be fun to give you an inside look of the reality of it all and tips on how to get your husband to take professional photos. For laughs read more below!

FEATURED ON THIS POST:

Hi friends,

Hope you are doing well! Today I am finally sharing my tips on growing long healthy hair. I have had questions about my hair and it’s taken me four years to finally grow out my highlights, get back to my natural color, and to get it as long as it is now. Following these tips my hair has grown healthier, thicker and longer than it’s ever been. I use to never want my hair long because I thought it was hard to style and very hard to maintain, but I’ve found it’s actually the most low maintenance hair I’ve had. As a mom growing out my natural hair has helped me save time and money too! Check out my tips below.

Large Prada Diagramme Shoulder Bag Review

Hey friends! Hope you are doing well! Today I am finally sharing my full review of my  large Prada Diagramme Shoulder Bag Review. This has been one of my most requested review since I got this bag in Capri, Italy, and it has become one of my most treasured bag. I’ve always wanted a Prada bag but was not a fan of some of their more popular styles. But when they came out with this style I fell in love and I knew I had to have this one. I love how beautiful and classic this bag looks and the fact that isn’t very common. In fact it’s rare that you find this bag in the U.S Prada stores. Check out more of my story on how I came about this bag in Italy and the pros and cons of my Large Prada Diagramme Shoulder Bag.

Jayden’s 5 Year Portraits

Hi friends!

I can’t believe the day is here, my little man turns five! It’s crazy to think how time flies, even more so when you watch your children grow. This year makes me a little sad though, because this is the year my son goes into kindergarten. It’s a good thing don’t get me wrong, but for some reason I feel like I am losing my little baby. Day by day my little man starts growing into a young man and I don’t know if my heart can take it. I just want these moments to last forever. I remember I use to worry about my son sleeping in our bed, and now I cherish everyday he chooses to sleep with us, because it’s at night when he’s asleep where he still looks like my little baby. I cherish every hug, every kiss, and every time he still needs his mama, because I know as he gets older there will be a day where I am longer his center of his world. I don’t know if I’ll ever be ready for that day, but today I’m just thankful. Thankful for another wonderful year to watch my son grow older. So today I am sharing these beautiful portraits we took with our son and our dog for his 5th birthday. Thank you so much Alexis from Candid Kids Photography for capturing my son so beautifully. I will cherish these photos forever.  Continue reading “Jayden’s 5 Year Portraits”
