Kansas City, you guys. If you haven’t ever been, you must. I would 100% move back there in a heartbeat. As a final summer hurrah, we headed to KC for five days. We filled our days eating Kansas City BBQ, visiting Deanna Rose Farm, hanging out with our friend, Jane at the Nelson-Atkins art museum, stopping at Fritz’s (where they deliver your food on a train!), and exploring Union Station. E and I caught up with our good friend Margi, and her daughter shopping at Easy, Tiger in the West Bottoms and then Lunch on the Plaza!

It was so, so much fun having Eleanor see and explore all of the things that brought me so much happiness as a child! Only bummer was that the Royals weren’t in town! I guess that means we just have to head back!

Things are back to being busy, busy around here with the new school year! I hope you are all staying cool in these sweltering temps!

Have a great weekend!

Good morning, friends! Hope you all had a wonderful long weekend! We spent the weekend celebrating our sweet pea and her special day at church! Here are some snaps from the day! We attended mass and then had a private ceremony shortly after. She was an absolute angel at church! I was super pumped that the baptism would be slightly before her normal nap time, but church and all the snuggles wore her out JUST in time for the ceremony. Let’s just say the bonnet put her over the edge. So she is screaming in almost every single picture of the baptism so we waited until after her 2.5 hour nap to take some more pictures! The whole day was so beautiful and we are so so thankful for all the family that drove many miles to be here for her special day!

We love you so much, E!

Bear with me on this post, friends, it has been an exciting month! We love summer!

Makeshift pools and cute suits are almost a daily staple around here!

Lunch with eight of her friends that are under the age of four and nine adults. It was a sight.

A crop top on a baby. Who would have thought it would be so cute!?!

E visited her friend Nora at the zoo!

As much as I love my mornings with my eighth graders, this is my happy place.

Stopped by Columbus Commons for some Jeni’s! The food truck court is open 11-2 every Thursday until October!

I mean…

Celebrated papa! We sure love him!

Started reading The Nightingale. SO GOOD!

I love having E be big enough to sit up front now. REALLY frees up a lot of space in the cart. Plus, now I have a people watching buddy!

Y’all. If you are local, you MUST try Pistacia Vera. Must.

I look a hot mess because I just generally am and when a stranger takes your photo you only get one shot. But, I had to share. It’s baby girl’s first baseball game and we take our baseball games very seriously! And by seriously I mean we mostly just love to eat and drink outdoors.

Oh, the high chair. What was once a fun place to be because she could sit up, has now become a cage. Feed me, then get me outta here! We have also started trying sippy cups and E loves them!

We have a fairly graceful crawler! She gets where she needs to be!

While we were out running errands, E fell asleep in her Solly wrap which has become rare because she just wants to watch everything. It warmed my mama heart!

Yesterday, Eleanor had her six month well visit and she did so great! She is about 20 pounds which puts her in the 94th percentile, 55th for height. We love our pediatrician if anyone local ever needs a great one!

The last month has gone by so quickly! I feel so very thankful for my summer with Eleanor.

And now…the moment you’ve all been waiting for…the winner of the Freshly Picked Giveaway is…ANNA P.! Congrats!! Be on the lookout for an email from me later today! Thank you to all who entered!!

I hope you all have a great day!

Why, hello friends!! Happy Friday!! Things are busy busy around here. This week baby girl and I were alone for a few days while papa was on a business trip. Let me just tell you, E and I had the best time. I was prepared for chaos, but she was so calm and happy. BUT I am still so tired and ready for the weekend! Matt does a lot around here and we sure miss him!

Recently, we also took a trip for E to meet her Great Grandma White, gone hiking, Eleanor has busted out of all of her clothes, had a fourth month well visit, cried with another new momma in the bathroom because we missed our babies, started rice cereal, taken lots of naps, and eaten more than our fair share of pizza.

…and we have a winner of the Meijer Spring Beauty Event + Giveaway!…Nataly C.! Be on the lookout for an email from us later today!! Thank you to all who entered!

Hope you all have an excellent weekend!

We have had a couple of nice days here and you better believe we busted out Eleanor’s sunglasses and stroller and hit the town!

Eleanor and I had our first playdate and let’s just say the bow was the only survivor. First public blowout. Check.

Mama got birth announcements out. Feel very proud of myself. Only took two months!

It rained one day. Soooooo I had to put her in the raincoat I bought a year ago that is 4 times too big. Had to.

Last Friday was quite somber at our house, knowing it was our last official day together. We decided to forgo the crib nap and nap with mommy instead.

On Sunday, daddy thought it might be a good idea for baby girl and me to have a girly day together shopping. I came home with so many bags of baby clothes and the hubby said NOTHING. I guess he knew better.

This week has gone better than expected, leaving her in the mornings is hard, but I know she is in great hands. Plus, it helped that Matt’s mom came to stay a couple of days so I could run home and give lots of kisses! Our reunion each night is the highlight of my day!
