georgia hearts santa

Thursday, January 29, 2015

Ok so I know these two photos are like 6 weeks late, but I came across them last night as I was editing some other photos for a post next week. And I had to share. A few weeks before Christmas, we took G to a brunch with Santa at our club. Needless to say she wouldn't get near him! Maybe next time? And don't worry, we immediately took her to the arts and crafts room next so she cheered up!

Merry Merry a little late :)

#loversxmas

Tuesday, January 7, 2014

every year for the past... oh 10 years? my high school bffs/ soul sistas get together for a christmas exchange. until last year it was a sleepover. but since we are now scattered across the country, our sleepover has turned into a 6-7 hour brunch when everyone is in town for the holidays. nonetheless, these girls are my sisters and our time together is so precious. we are weird, cooky and imperfect and we love each other just as we are.

this year was especially meaningful for me because we had a new addition to the "lovers xmas." georgia of course! she couldn't quite hang with the ladies the entire time (she said 'brb' for a few naps) but she was back in action after her quick snoozes. it's funny how life has changed so much. how 6 friends, all in different walks of life, different parts of the country and different loves can remain so close. i hear about friends losing touch all the time. and honestly it could have been easy for us to do that. it would have been easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of life and not make our time a priority. but we didn't do that. and we never will. because you don't let go of friendships like these. they are forever. these girls know me better than i know myself. and watching the way they have loved, supported and encouraged me over the years - especially this past year - humbles me and leaves me speechless. i don't deserve friends like these. but i'm blessed with them. and watching them love on my daughter - recklessly, unconditionally and without reserve - there truly are no words. they would do anything to make her smile, make her giggle. they love her like their own. i pray every night georgia finds friends like these.

i love you lovers - mere, banna, mal, kris and ashe (ashtwanna). cheers to another successful exchange!

love my lululemon top from mere!

my heart is full

Friday, December 27, 2013

I seriously cannot believe Christmas has come and gone. It has left me with a full heart. This week I have been relishing in much needed family time, cuddles, laughter and spoiling that baby girl of mine. The hubs even had a few days off! I hope y'all had a wonderful Christmas as well. I think I'm going to keep on enjoying my family snuggles for awhile but I'll leave ya with a few snaps from my phone.

I've also been taking some time to thing about 2014. A fresh start. I've started my Power Sheets, Mind, Body, Soul Chart, and I've began to pray about My One Word. More on those next week! 2013 was my best year without a doubt. I have been blessed beyond belief and am so very grateful. But something tells me that 2014 is going to be even better! What are your goals for the new year? Any resolutions you want to make happen?

small group christmas 2013

Wednesday, December 18, 2013

I know I've mentioned them a time or two on here, but Matt and I have been so blessed by the friendships we've made in our small group. We all started out as newly married baby-less couples in 2012, only to end up as mamas and papas by the end of 2013. It has been a blast doing life with these sweet friends and now doing parenthood. I love that Georgia has amazing friends even at such a young age. And her amazing friends have amazing parents. Boom. We are lucky.

Well, Saturday night we got together with these sweet friends for a little Christmas gathering. It was so so fun and I'm excited to share some pictures with yall. Also at the bottom of this post is the WINNER for the MASIK giveaway!
