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. SOLD! 2015 was the year Ry was born so I thought this is was sweet and simple … [Read more...]
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...]

Mother’s Day Giveaway
Photography: Lauren Iwen Photography Dress: 24/7 House Dress in Stripe by Undercover Mama c/o Many people know that Mother's Day and I don't always see eye to eye. Two years ago, 5 months fresh into my new adventure as a mother, I was asked to give a talk in church on Mother's Day (of all days). It was scary and hard but one of my favorite parts was this poem: Who taught us to love God, to love others, to love ourselves? Who prayed with us, prayed for us? Who read to us and taught us what the words meant? It was mom. Who was the champion, the cheerleader, the chief inspiring officer? Who was the queen of bed time, dinner time, holidays, holy days, early mornings, late nights, music lessons, life lessons and everything we cling to with … [Read more...]
Cactus Baby Shower
Oh how I wish that I had taken more photos. Some of my sweetest friends got together and threw me a beautiful cactus themed shower complete with seriously the best cinnamon rolls on the planet!

They had these cute little cactus decorations and some real ones too and it was just perfect. Baby Smith is one loved little guy. … [Read more...]
