Nursing Bra: The Dairy Fairy Ayla Bra in cream c/o | Pajama Bottoms + Robe: Target | Swaddle: Roots + Wings When I had Ry, I knew that I wanted to exclusively breastfeed and I did for 7 months with the help of some great consultants and delicious nursing cookies (more about that journey here). It was a dream that I had always had but as our journey went on, it was so much harder than I could have imagined. I was the only one able to feed him. I had to pump and prepare bottles before I left to go teach ballet. I was constantly nervous that I wasn't producing enough for him and tried everything I could get my hands on to keep my supply up to demand. I loved breastfeeding but from day one, I was stressed. I never found a bra I liked. I hated … [Read more...]
Fresh 48 + Brotherly Love with KB Cute Designs
Photos: Darian Clouse Photography Swaddle Set: KB Cute Designs c/o || Robe: Pink Blush c/o || Necklace: Made by Mary Looking back at these photos just makes me smile. Ryker was able to meet Riggs right after delivery but it was just for a few minutes. He was so soft and sweet with his new baby brother. We snapped a few pictures then Ryker came back to the hospital a few days later. He was so cute with Riggs. He loved looking (staring) at him and was always trying to keep a hand on him. Darian photographed these super sweet memories for our family and big Rigg at almost 48 hours brand new! Ryker is 2.5 years old and I wasn't sure he would understand everything that was happening. My whole pregnancy we talked about my belly and the baby in … [Read more...]
4 Simple Father’s Day Gift Ideas
How Sweet It Is - As cliche as it is, the way to every guy's heart really is through his stomach. I found these cute chocolate bar wrappers on Etsy from My Computer is My Canvas and wrapped up a simple Hershey bar! The download also comes with a "World's Greatest Dad" tag! Super cute and easy. We actually used this at church to hand out to all the Dad's last year. Personalized - Alright so I am being pretty bold by posting what I got Cameron this year and crossing my fingers he doesn't read this - haha Cam doesn't like to clog up his keychain or wallet with a lot of things but randomly - pennies are pretty special to us and I found this little gem on Etsy.

What’s In a Name? Riggins Knox Smith
Y'all I have been wanting to share how we came about naming our sweet baby Riggs! I feel like there are a few random stories to this but stick with me okay?! Before we were pregnant, Cameron and I babysat for our friends and they have two sweet little girls that both have names beginning with the same letter. After a week of stumbling over and mixing up names, Cameron looked at me dead serious and said we could never name our next kid with anything starting with "R" it is just too confusing and will doom us to parental failure. We had Ryker's name picked out months before he was born. We knew it was the perfect fit. This time around... not so much. We played around with a list of names for what seemed like forever. Crossing off and … [Read more...]
