Olivia Gwen {Birth Story}
It’s been a while, huh? Well, I realized I never wrote the story of how my newest little monkey, Olivia, was born. Now that she’s over a year old, I figured it was time to document it (oops).
This was my 4th pregnancy, and not as bad as some of the others. I was nauseous and threw up, of course. But not as much! And the nausea went away when I was about 6 months along. It was definitely more taxing on my body though. I am getting old, I guess 🙁
After going through Lincoln’s birth, I was terrified of not being able to get an epidural. So I asked my doctor if we could schedule an induction. He agreed, and it was scheduled for Tuesday, May 16th.
About 2 weeks before the induction date, I decided to take a nice bath with all kinds of yummy-smelling things. For the next few days, I was SO itchy, but figured it was because of the products that I had never used before. It mostly went away, but not fully. The Wednesday (or Thursday… it was a long time ago!) before my induction, the itchiness in my feet went bonkers. I had a hard time falling asleep, it was so bad….
Halloween Felt Board
In the spirit of Halloween, let’s talk about something downright creepy. The other day while Owen was napping, Jonny and I fell asleep on the family room floor. We were hit with the afternoon sleepies, and there was just no way around it. After we woke up, Jonny happened to check his phone, and he…
DIY Pom Pom Spiders
I need somebody to explain something to me, because I am honestly stumped… Why is it that the thing I hate and fear the most, I also find strangely adorable?? I have yet to meet a spider I don’t despise, but when I was preparing all of my Halloween treats and crafts, they were…
Halloween Push-up Cake Pops

Witch Marshmallow Pops
Let me be frank. I have a little, teensy, tiny obsession with marshmallow pops. They are just so cute and fun to make! I knew the spider pops weren’t enough… It just wasn’t out of my system yet. So, with the help of my little monkeys, I went to work and came up with…
Spider Marshmallow Pops
Wanna know something I DON’T want to find on my stairs? A bar of soap. Let me be more specific… a bar of soap covered in bite marks. I especially don’t want to see THREE bars of half-eaten soap. But alas… that’s what I found. Before you judge me, I don’t make it a habit to feed…
Gummy Worm Ice Cubes
Can I just start off by saying how cute Sophie looks in this pic? ^^^ I love that she’s licking her lips! She’s such a cooperative little model 🙂 In reality though, she was probably just hungry. As soon as we finished taking pictures, she ate the entire tray of ice cubes. I mean, who does…
Whopper Spider Cookies
Welcome back! I hope you all enjoyed my ghost pancakes, because we sure did! But I love today’s Halloween treat even MORE. I start out with my favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe, but you can use any recipe you like. {This recipe uses cream cheese instead of eggs… which means you can eat the dough! And…

DIY Glow-in-the-dark Fort
Can I just start this post off by saying how hard it is to take pictures in the dark?? I’m pretty new to photography, and this one sure was a challenge! Most of the pics came out blurry and you couldn’t see much… haha. Well, I have a lot to learn 🙂 Regardless of my…
