Halloween/Fall 2017

Happy Halloween!

Me, being the crazy mom I am, have had Harpers Halloween costume picked out for MONTHS!

Halloween is easily one of my favorite holidays, and this year was so much fun with Harper understanding to knock on the door, say "trick or treat" and then get rewarded with a piece of candy, or in her case 2 pieces, one for each hand.

It seemed only fitting to have her be a rainbow this year, since she is brightest thing in our lives. Kyler was a sport and at least wore a poncho, and me a raincoat and my rain boots. We looked so cute and I never saw another rainbow the whole night, so that means we did good!

Fall is my favorite time of year, and I absolutely love seeing Harper love it as much as I do as well.

You’re number 1!

The year flew, and my baby grew! Who knew?.... okay I’m done ryming for now, but in all serious... I never believed parents who would say “they grow like weeds! They grow too fast! You blink and they’re off to college!”

Pshhh yeah whatever. 💁🏼

Well I’m here to tell you... it’s all true! My baby is 1 and I’m already a mess thinking about her leaving on her first date, getting a mission call, moving out, and thinking I’m totally not cool anymore. Because let’s be honest, she thinks I’m the most awesome person alive right now. And I am her favorite 😉 so with all these mommy feels, it only felt fitting to throw Harper a “Donut Grow Up” birthday party. Because I just want her to stay my little baby forever! We had a small family party which is exactly what I wanted. The weather kinda made me lose it for a second, and let’s be honest really all my hard work went into this party and nothing wanted to turn out as I had planned. But Harper loved it and that’s ALL that matters in my book.

The Nursery

Harper is what... 6 months now?

And finally..  I can say she has a nursery! It's been hard moving twice, unpacking, and getting everything just how I like it. But I can say I'm pretty happy with how her room had turned out.

The crib, rocking chair, and dresser are all repainted. And I reupholstered the cushion on the rocking chair, sewed the bedskirt and window curtain. See why it's taken so long? To many projects with a tiny babe.

Here is a before and after of the rocking chair. 

I love how everything has turned out! Having a baby girl really is the best.

Harper's First Haircut

Her hair was driving me crazzzzzy.

And she was starting to look like an old man! I couldn't have my baby looking like an old man. So snip snip.
