These pictures give you a pretty good idea of how Beau reacts when you tell him no. Honestly most of the time he is such a good sweet boy, but his tantrums are no joke. Our month of July has been so busy to the point where we can’t handle it anymore. We just want to stay home and do nothing! So this next weekend that is exactly what we are doing and I already can’t wait. Until then we will be watching a lot of olympics. I LOVE the Olympics! We have also been watching a new netflix show called Stranger Things, which kind of scares me. And I just started The Vampire Diaries which I am now obsessed with. Blake definitely won’t watch that 😉

This was my 2nd mother’s day with my Beau. I still sometimes can’t believe I’m a mother to a nearly 2 year old. The fact that I’m responsible for this little person and all of his needs and happiness is overwhelming at times. But it’s what I’ve dreamed of doing since I was a little girl, and it’s even more of a dream than I pictured. I love being this boys mom! There are moments that are grueling, so hard that I’m brought to tears, and piling frustration. But it’s all worth it when I look at his face, when he randomly gives me a snuggle or a smooch. He is my world. I hardly remember life before him! How grateful I am to be given the amazing gift of motherhood. And to my own mother…..how I love her so.

Here’s to a happy week.

when life gets tough

IMG_4816

It’s been a bit of a rough week. Stresses with some things in life have caused a lot of heartache and anger and sometimes it’s hard for me to have a good outlet to get things out. I mean after I talk my husbands ear off sometimes I need to write my feelings out. This photo is from a shoot Beau and I did with Mindy Mae’s Market a couple weeks ago, and it makes me smile so I look at it often. My baby boy is the happiest running outside and the photographer caught his true happy self right here. Although to be honest he was an absolute terror during the entire photoshoot and I had to chase him all over the park in my skirt. When I finally caught him he would throw himself into a backbend on the floor and I had to practically drag his limp body back to the shoot. I cried a few times that morning in private so when they sent me this shot I was shocked they captured anything good at all of Beau or me. It gives me hope to know that when things seem like a nightmare, there is still some hope for good things. I have hated social media (aka Instagram) this week. Do you ever feel like that? Sometimes I get too caught up in it all and end up getting down on myself for one thing or another. So sometimes I need a break to remember that it’s just Instagram. And if it all went away tomorrow that I really have all I need anyway.

So I’ve decided the rest of this week will be better. I’m going to make it better, because really life is so very good.

I am a huge fan of backpacks, so when Sage & Harper sent me this one I was immediately in love! I love this color, but they have others that I’m also pretty crazy about. Backpacks are the best and easiest option with babies. Anything where I can use both my hands is a thumbs up for me. Plus the patterns on these bags are the cutest! I hope you all had the best Easter weekend spent with your families, eating lots of treats.

I can’t even believe how tall my baby is. He’s been off the charts in every way since birth and not much has changed. Except that the chubby baby-ness is fading away and he’s just like a big tall boy now. He looks even more grown up with these Copper Pearl bibs on. These bibs are the cutest and come in a set of 4. They are perfect for drooly babies during teething time. Or if you’re an enormous toddler like Beau just wear them because they look gooooood. Copper Pearl has been wonderful enough to give 10% off their entire site from Friday through Monday at midnight with the code: SIERRADS. They also have the best nursing/carseat covers around. Happy (shopping) weekend!

I was so excited to do a photoshoot with my handsome husband! He typically stays behind the camera, but when Zuzu Wear reached out to us to try out one of their ties we had to turn him into a model. Not hard to do with a mug like his. Zuzu Wear has the best selection of ties for men. I love a man in pink, so when we got this floral pink tie I was immediately in love. And even better Blake thought it was cool too. Honestly I want them all for him. If you’re looking for a men’s gift (which can be soooo hard) these are a great option! Check out my Instagram on Monday at 5pm MST to see us help launch Zuzu, plus a promo code for a free tie! You don’t want to miss out, seriously they are the coolest ties. Oh and if you could see outside these shots you would see our baby running around causing mischief. Happy Monday everyone!
