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.

Hey friends,

Hope you are having a great week! This past weekend we celebrated Jayden’s 5th birthday with family and friends by throwing a Superhero birthday party.

Jayden is that age where he loves superheroes and all things Marvel so it was only fitting to have this as his theme for his birthday. So today on the blog I am sharing all the details of his superhero birthday party, where you can purchase the decor, and how you can save when throwing a party. Read more below!

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”
