A Thanksgiving Tablescape to Remember

Back in 2015 Thanksgivingcame a little early for my family since two of my brothers were in town only for a couple of days at the same time. It was also the last time we'd all be together for at least a year and a half since my little sister served a mission for the LDS church that following January.
I couldn't have been more thrilled when my mom asked me to be in charge of place settings and decor.  I knew this had to be a big deal!

We decided to hold dinner and activities at my parents church since my siblings families have grown so much. Not my ideal place to decorate but we made it work!

 I'm not very traditional when it comes to holiday decor as my family knows (and rolls their eyes at) so I chose to work with a more simple muted color palate than your normal fall oranges, browns and yellows. This Thanksgiving tablscape is full of burlap, black and white, and touches of gold. I love how it turned out!!

How an MLM helped me through PPD

 

7 months ago I found myself in a really dark place I never expected to be. I had been waiting for my beautiful baby girl to arrive and she came and was amazing. The first few days in the hospital were bliss and everything was going great. "I got this two kid thing!" I remember thinking to myself. 

Rewind 3 years prior, my first child was so good and I was so happy and I had support and no responsibilities so I think my expectations of my second child were that this baby would be good and I knew what I was doing so I definitely felt confident that everything would be unicorns and rainbows!

Fiona's Blessing Day

 

Last Saturday we had the opportunity to bless Fiona with our friends and family and it was such a beautiful experience! I wanted to have a pink boho feel to the day and I knew I wanted some printed florals to play off of. My friend Natashia is an amazing artist and she had already posted some floral table runners/printable floral crowns on her blog and I knew they would be perfect for the tables. I asked her if she would create something for the backdrop and she made an INCREDIBLE and GORGEOUS floral wreath backdrop for me!

The Best Banana Cream Pie EVER

 Happy National Pi Day!!! To celebrate I thought I would share what pie means in this family. I didn't know how important pie was going to be in my life until I married my husband. It turns out his mom is the Pie Queen. For the last couple of decades she has gone all out for Thanksgiving baking all the yummiest pies for the entire family. Lemon Meringue, Pumpkin, Peach, Pumpkin Pecan, Strawberry Rhubarb, Pecan, Triple Berry, Peach Cream, Sweet Potato, Orange Cream, Chocolate Cream, Key Lime!

The Sweetest Sleeper

Is there anything sweeter than your baby girl sleeping? I submit that there is not! Haha! But really, my favorite thing is when my baby falls asleep in my arms. I know it's not good for sleep training but I currently do not care!! It does however make it hard to get anything done or help out my 3 year old when he needs me to build legos with him so I have to put her down sometimes! But Fiona is a very very light sleeper so it's a balancing act for sure!! In comes the DockATot. 

A Classic 30th Birthday

I had a really hard time deciding what I wanted to do for my 30th birthday. Some friends go skydiving or on amazing trips but seeing as I have a 2 month old those things were pretty well out of the question (maybe for my 40th!!!). But then it dawned on me! Why not relive my high school days a bit and head to Classic Fun Center in Orem?? It's really close to me right now and they have so much to do there I knew it would be a blast for the whole family!! We skated, did laser tag, played arcade games and played on the bouncy inflatables! And guess what?! They offering a 20% discount code on all birthday parties for my readers!! HOW AWESOME IS THAT?? The code is "lifewithwings". Read on to hear how much fun we had and all the fun things you could do at your next birthday party! And for more ways to save at your next visit!
