VALENTINE CARDBOARD BOX BUS

I get amazon deliveries all the time, and that means HUGE cardboard boxes at my doorstep filled with diapers, wipes, you name it! I spend so much time breaking down these boxes to fit in our recycle bin; but this past month I decided to keep it and do something fun!

MY FIRST ROLE OF MOM WAS STEP MOM

Before I took on the role of mother, I was thrown into the role of Step Mom. It's definitely not what I dreamed of when I got married; going on a honeymoon with my step sons in tow. They were there for every romantic dinner and what was supposed to be relaxing beach time in Hawaii.

RUSSELL FOR KB CUTE DESIGNS

I was so excited to be a part of a photo shoot for a brand I truly love! I am totally serious when I say that I became OBSESSED with this brand when one of my girlfriends gave me a swaddle set as a gift for my second daughter. Thank you Paige! A year later I was pregnant again, shopping at a local market here in Arizona when I met the owner Kerri and complimented her on how much I loved her product.
