After Annabelle’s second birthday party was over, I looked at Brandon and said, “Can you believe how many people love our daughter?” There were so many birthday guests! If my Connecticut family, Brandon’s Ohio family, and our closest friends lived…
Our Little Annabelle Turned TWO
How oh how is Annabelle officially two years old? I’ve actually avoided writing a post about her turning two because it is just one of those emotional roads I would rather not go down, but eventually I am going to since…
A Toddler’s Christmas Wish List
For Annabelle, December is the month of many gifts. She turns two on December 13 and then Santa arrives, and family/friends bring presents to her multiple times over the course of two weeks. Someday she will hate having a December…
There’s No Place Like Home
Yesterday morning we left Napa at 8:45 am and we finally pulled in the driveway last night at 9:45pm. It was a long day of traveling and we were sad it took so long to get home because Annabelle was…

Four Posts about Toddlers
Having a toddler has provided me with a lot of blog content. I’ve written countless posts about development, eating habits, travel with your little ones, and more. Here are four of my favorite posts about toddlers that I’ve written about…
Annabelle // 18 Months Old
Annabelle Claire is 18 months old. She loves to play outside, but doesn’t like the sun in her eyes. She is meticulous, inquisitive, and afraid to get dirty. Annabelle is tall, skinny, and working on growing hair long enough to…
A Girl and her Shopping Cart
It’s Monday… I am dragging and feeling like a balloon from too much salt this weekend. I would definitely float away if you put me in the lake right now. Do you ever feel that way? Annabelle received the cutest…
Annabelle’s First Snow
There is nothing more magical than a child’s first snow. Today I’m sharing the story behind Annabelle’s first snow. Yesterday it snowed again for a few hours here in Georgia. My little family was home, so we were able to…
