AVERY IS 9.

9! You guys?! How is that even real. Avery turns 9 today and we are excited to celebrate her all weekend. It’s hard to think about how far she’s come since birth.

AVERY TURNS 5.

Hey friends! We are in Christmas mode over here, but pressing pause on Christmas prep for a Birthday week for this special girl. She turns 5 on Sunday!

FRIDAY FAVORITES.

Hey friends! Happy Friday! If you live in the Midwest, you may still have snow on the ground like us;) I am linking up today with Andrea, Narci, and Erika and sharing some favorites.
