May I make a suggestion? One of the best gifts you can give a new mother is the gift of music. I remember receiving Celtic Dreamland and Jewel’s Lullaby CD’s from relatives. We took these albums with us to the hospital – and while we were all in recovery, we listened to this music nonstop. The nurses would come into our […]

The Family Hat: It’s Raining, It’s Pouring.
Summer is beautiful. Yes, it’s hotter than you can even imagine, but we get to experience monsoons, unexpected downpours in the middle of sunny days, and better yet – we get to witness our baby soak it all in (pun intended) for the first time. Yesterday, as the sun was getting ready to set on another day, it […]
The Mommy Hat: Lucky Girl
I’m a mom to a very happy and healthy baby. I’m a lucky girl. God is good.
The Sister Hat: Uncles, Brothers
I have two amazing, younger brothers. They both live in Austin, TX so we don’t get to see each other too often. My oldest, youngest brother is in town for business this weekend. We’re going to dinner tonight and then hopefully, we can steal him away from his friends to see us Saturday too. Our baby’s great-grandma also just […]
The Shopper Hat: Meet Clocky
I am getting this when my kid gets older! This alarm clock actually jumps off your nightstand and runs away beeping so you have to get up and chase it down. How genius is that?! Not only will it force your kid out of bed, but it’s probably so entertaining to watch them chase it around the room in a sleepy daze. Clocky brings […]
The Mommy Hat: Letters to a Baby
Dear baby, You are the best thing that has ever happened to us. Love, Mommy and Daddy
The Stephanie Hat: Cartoons I Love
Witty stick figures make me smile. The creator of this site illustrates cartoons about everyday women, and the people who love and annoy us (aka. The husband, The kids, etc). Here are some of my favorites. I’m sure you can relate. Enjoy!
The Mommy Hat: Matchy-Matchy
Without ever trying – we always seem to match. I love it. She’ll soon grow up to be a pre-teen, think I’m embarassing, tell me to wait in the car while she shops with her friends, but for now – she doesn’t know any better. So, I’ll keep taking these photos until she tells me to stop.
The Mommy Hat: Where is MY Mary Poppins?
I love being a mom. But, it is the toughest job you will ever do. Sure, there are books on it. Your parents did it – so, how hard could it be, right? Wrong. So, so wrong. Our baby is teething and is getting over a double ear infection. I feel horrible for her. In fact, I […]
The Mommy Hat: A Beach Vacation, More Photos
Ready for my walk along the beach. Hat. Check. Fan. Check. Something to snack on. Check. My parents made me wear these. I told my parents I was a heavy packer. . My Auntie snapped this photo of our backyard view. Read more about our first family vacation!
