Does it feel like 2016 flew by? It does, doesn’t it? But then I take a pause and look back over these past 12 months, and realize how full 2016 really was...

- Happy 1st day of fall!
This sweet girl looks pretty impressed with her first birthday party's decorations. I loved the personalized pumpkin the moment I saw it and watching E. climb and play near it was too much fun! First birthday parties are a great way to gather all your friends and family toge[...]

- Now that it’s back to school time - in my mind - it is also holiday card time. 🎄
I know! I know! Don’t hate me – it’s just how my brain works. Timelines and prep work – that’s how I roll.
Let me put it another way, but please don't freak out. As of today's date, Christmas is 100 days away. 😳
