Summer is our favorite time of year to spend time outdoors with family and friends. The perfect patio set up just makes it that much better. I love shopping for outdoor furniture and decor on Amazon because I can read through all the reviews and of course prime shipping! An outdoor sectional is perfect for entertain, it's what we have on our patio. I also love adding string lights and fire pit for a cozy space.

One of my favorite things about the holiday season is all of the Christmas movies. I look forward to watching them all year. Most of the ones I consider classics are from the 90's when I was growing up. Home Alone, The Santa Clause, Christmas Vacation, and Jingle all the Way are definitely my childhood favorites. The Polar Express and Charle Brown are my son's favorites that I've grown to love myself. My husband and I have a tradition of watching Four Christmases every year after Thanksgiving.
We spent our October doing lots of fun fall activities and celebrating Halloween. Hocus Pocus and Charlie Brown and the Great Pumpkin were Lee's choice of movies for the whole month. I started out the month giving the kids their special Halloween/Fall baskets. I love starting out each holiday with a basket filled with themed goodies. This basket had new books, cups, plates and craft items. They loved it! They're matching jammies are from Old Navy but are sold out, I'll link the books below. Grants Farm ended up being our favorite family outing this month. We went to their Halloween Nights event twice! Lee absolutely loved it. Lots of dancing, bubble wands, feeding cute goats, and yummy German food. We visited a few pumpkin patches and had fun carving them the night before Halloween. Lee got to be a cop and Miss Mila was her favorite character Minnie Mouse. It was a cold Halloween but we made it to a few houses and got lots of candy for Lee.
Our trip to PCB Florida was the highlight of the summer. We were only feet from the beach! Mila loved her first trip to the beach. Lee really enjoyed riding the kayak out to the ocean and seeing all the fishies. The seagulls were also a big hit with him. Lots of good seafood and fun with the kiddos. 







I haven't updated my blog much since I had my son in March 2015, over two years ago! I feel bad that I didn't keep up with it because that had been a big goal of mine. I wanted to document all of the moments of my son's life so that I could look back on them forever. Between being a new mom and working I just never found the time. However now I have much more time to dedicate to doing things I love. I recently became a stay at home mom! Well more like a work from home mom but I'll get into that later. These past few months of being with my son every minute has been wonderful, challenging at times but wonderful. We recently made a big move away from our hometown of St. Louis, Missouri to Fort Wayne, Indiana. My husband had an interview with a company here in April, then in early May he got a job offer and here we are! We only had two weeks to pack all of our things and find a place to live here. It has been a crazy, exciting, and stressful adventure. Leaving my home and my family has been very difficult but I'm excited about our future here in our new city. Now that its been a few months I'm starting to feel more comfortable here and Lee and I have been having a lot of fun together.
