TO 30 YEARS!
My best friend's 30th birthday is right around the corner and I want to send her something extra special in the mail. We've been friends since Kindergarten and lived together for 6 years, so it's crazy to think about how many great memories over the past 30 years have been spent together. Now that I live in Nashville and she's in Chicago, it's been tough not having her here for every little get-together or Saturday night cocktail...but obviously distance won't stop us from still being best friends!

KISSES FROM JOE
With 2 sets of first-time grandparents, I wanted to make them feel extra special on their very first Grandparent's Day. And yes, there is such a thing as Grandparent's Day. It's always the first Sunday after Labor Day, and I didn't really hear about it until I met my husband.

PICNIC THEMED FAMILY PICTURES
I can't believe 6 months has already passed. Wow, did that fly. We decided to do professional pictures with an outdoor summer picnic theme, using a family quilt and some of my old childhood books. Our photographer, Sarah-Marie Photography, did an awesome job capturing all of his different faces!

GENDER NEUTRAL NURSERY: POLKA DOTS & CHEVRON
I wanted to make our nursery comfortable and inviting because I knew I was going to be spending a lot of time in there over the next year. James and I decided early on that we wanted our first born's gender to be a surprise the day of delivery. But decorating a gender neutral nursery proved to be harder than I thought. Everything I ended up finding tended to lean boy or girl, so I decided to do a more generic sky theme and really play up patterns.
