I have been anxiously awaiting Taylor Swift's next tour and couldn't be more excited to attend the Eras Tour in July. I've been gathering my Eras Tour outfit ideas for night 1 and 2 because I am hoping to score some last minute tickets so I can attend both nights when she's performing in Santa Clara. I was one of the many who, due to Ticketmaster crashing was unable to secure the tickets I had in my cart. It was so stressful and also terribly infuriating to watch the clock count down as I was trying to check the box required to submit my ticket order and it never registering. I didn't only let myself down but also my SIL who I was trying to get tickets for us both to attend....so even though the tickets aren't secured yet, I know I will be there it will just depend on how much I end up needing to spend to go. I'm also planning ... Read more...

Cooper Ford’s Birth Story
Just like with our first Mason James, I wanted to share Cooper Ford's birth story. It's true what people say, that each pregnancy and birth are so different. I couldn't have had a more different experience for Cooper's birth as compared to Mason's. If you didn't read Mason's birth story, you can find it here...but long story short, I was induced at 37 weeks due to complications and after my water broke in the hospital Mason was born less than 3 hours later and after only 3 pushes. They cut me to help with his delivery, again because ... Read more...
Cybex Aton 2 SensorSafe™ Car Seat Review – Car Seat for Little Ones
It's been almost 5 years since we've had a newborn and in that time there have been some new and improved design elements in car seats for little ones (or at least I think so). When I was doing my research on infant car seats this time around, I came across Cybex. I kept coming back to their products because I loved their designs as well as safety features. I decided on the Cybex Aton 2 SensorSafe™ car seat for a number of reasons. The Aton 2 is part of the Cybex Gold Collection and has a number of safety and design features ... Read more...
Mason and Cooper’s Shared Brother Bedroom
A while back I shared the inspiration behind what is going to be Mason and Cooper's shared brother bedroom. Mason opted for a Safari themed room and I ran with it. Not only did I purchase a bunch of pieces that fit the safari theme I also created an accent wall with the help of my dad. Cooper will not be sleeping in their shared room for quite a while but since I have it cleaned up and organized I figured I'd better share now before Mason's toys have taken over the entire floor space in their room, as they usually ...
