Fall

 

“FALL HAS ALWAYS BEEN MY FAVORITE SEASON. THE TIME WHEN EVERYTHING BURSTS WITH ITS LAST BEAUTY, AS IF NATURE HAD BEEN SAVING UP ALL YEAR FOR THE GRAND FINALE.” —LAUREN DESTEFANO, WITHER

Being a twenty something year old girl of course means I love fall and all its amazing glory. It means oversized sweaters and pumpkin spice lattes. It means cool mornings, warm days, and perfect cuddle weather. It means instagram photos with my boots in the leaves, and yes I am admitting that I searched for the perfect pile of leaves to pose in. 

As a former New Mexican it means green chile, balloon fiesta, and leaves that are on fire with color. 


As a new wife fall means warm snuggles, a ton of baking, and of course bath and body works candles! I have been obsessed with warm fall recipes, baking spice anything, and making sure that my house always smells like "tailgate", thanks again bath and body works. It means spending our weekends watching football, and yelling "who dat" or "roll tide roll". It means snuggling up with warm tea and catching up on "our" Thursday night shows. It means embracing God's creation as it shines the most enchanting colors. 

I would love to hear what your favorite fall recipes are, as well as your favorite things about fall. 

Xoxo, 
B

Top 10 Tips for Flying with an Infant

Last week we spent the entire week in Cincinnati for the national veterans wheelchair games, which was probably one of the most incredible experiences of my life, but we will save that for a different post. We met great people, had wonderful conversation, and took our sweet girl on her first airplane ride. Being the crazy mom that I am, I stressed about the plane ride for far to long and made way to many mental notes on how to survive it. I asked everyone who had ever flown with a child what to do and received some great advice. My goal is to break it down into the top 10 things you "need" in order to survive flying with a baby! 1. Plastic Bags are Your Friend Prior to heading out to the airport I separated Ellie's diaper back with gallon size baggies. I had all her diapers and wipes packed in one, toys in another, and food in it's own. It made fast diaper changes before take off a breeze, as well as finding snacks in the air. Everything had its place an...

Nine Months

        My Sweet Eloise Jeanne, Month nine has come and gone and mama has been the worst at putting this together. Has with every month this one has been equally busy and equally different. I find myself smelling your sweet baby scent as it becomes fainter. I hold you nightly after you have fallen asleep staring at your sweet tiny face. This month I feel that we said goodbye to my baby baby and began welcoming our soon to be toddler. Your personality has come out in force, you know what you want and will do whatever it takes to get it. You are determined and strong willed, both qualities that I know will take you far in the future. I miss my baby baby but love playing with my new toddler girl. This month was a huge month for mobility. We went from not really being able to move at all to moving constantly. On July 25th you began trying to army crawl and can successfully get yourself from one place to another. On Friday,...

Eleven Months

Hello Eloise Jeanne,  Can you believe it, you are eleven months old. This month was different than the others because I knew exactly what we were doing a year ago. I remember celebrating you with our church family back home, I remember making the long drive to Albuquerque for the Balloon Fiesta and celebrating you at Aunt Becca's shower. I remember feeling as though I couldn't get any bigger and then I did. I remember counting each of your kicks to make sure you were growing just right. You were my best friend long before I met you and you captured my wold long before the world greeted you.  This month you seemed to truly embrace that crazy toddler side and nothing can stop our speed crawler. You know exactly where the dog food is and love to play in Chuck's water, chuck does not find it quite as amusing. You are love to smile, you are constantly smiling and waving at anyone and everyone. You figured out how to wave, the sweet little precious wave whe...
