As moms, we wear many hats, and often times one of those hats is family photographer. When we're behind the lens documenting all of those memories, it can be hard to get photos of us with our families. We want those photos in our homes and in albums, and as our children grow old and [...]
Every new mom knows they need a diaper bag, but what exactly should you put in it? After some trial and error, and over packing and under packing I feel like I’ve found a pretty good system so I wanted to share it with you! I use all of the diaper bag essentials on a [...]
I’ve been meaning to write this post for a few months now, and now that Logan is almost 6 months and it’s almost time to do a 3 – 6 month essentials list I couldn’t waste any more time. So here you go, our 0 – 3 month baby essentials list. […]
