If you follow me on instagram or facebook you know that I am a donut fanatic. You might also know that I am pretty picky about my donuts too. There are only a few places that I am loyal to. Thankfully, we live near one of my favorite donut shops, Donut Day. Yes, I said thankfully, when I really mean my added fluff is composed of mostly yummy donuts. →Continue reading for more details + photos

 

Can I just start out by saying I am beyond excited to be working with the Happy Family brand?! Though I was not paid to participate, Happy Family was generous enough to give me a couple bags of  their new Happy Tot Best Friends toddler cookies and these “blank” cookie jars. My kids begged me to break into these adorable, organic puppy-shaped cookies. Emerson, our 4 year old, literally asked me about 10 times if it was “time” to open them yet?! He was so excited when I told him it was finally “time” to open them. →Continue reading for more details + photos

 

I’d like to introduce you to our beautiful baby girl, Kennedy Ann Wilcox. She is simply perfect. If you are new to my blog, you might not know that  I am a PROUD Mommy of three little boys. We were delighted and surprised to find out when we got pregnant with our fourth child that we were FINALLY having a little girl! Everyone was beyond excited. I thought you all might want to meet her. So, without further ado here she is. . .

This has to be one of my favorite photos! I just love everything about it. I love how relaxed she is. The photo composition. The super cute bucket she is in from Brodders Tubs. I just sent in my fabric and then Emily worked her magic and sent me this adorable tub. I’m also loving the sweet headband Kennedy is rocking by Lori of LB Boutique. The adorable blanket she is snuggling on was a gift from my Mom, who my kids refer to as “Mimi.”  I’m thinking of enlarging this print and hanging it on her bedroom wall.  I have just the perfect place. What do you think? I was so in LOVE with this photo that I even used it on her birth announcements. . .

These birth announcements and labels are available in my Etsy Shop for purchase.

Here are a few more photos of her. . . look at those cheeks and lips! I just love her!

An HUGE thank you to my dear friend, Courtney, of Courtney Jade Photography for these truly amazing photos of Kennedy! Courtney spent several days hanging out in my dining room while we shot these photos. She is simply incredible and I am so thankful that she loves me and takes incredible photos of my little ones. She is not only a fabulous photographer, but a baby whisper too. Thank you Court! I <3 you so much!!!

So, I must confess. . . I’m not really a football fan. Okay, so that’s not really true, but I don’t watch a lot of professional football. I do love college football though, especially my Oregon Ducks (I LOVE MY DUCKS)! (Check out my free Oregon Ducks Printables too.)

Sheri is an amazing friend of mine and a huge Patriots fan. Her husband Trevor, and son Brett are huge Miami Dolphin Fans, apparently they are the Patriots biggest rivals. Brett just can’t bring himself to root for the Patriots so he is cheering on the Giants. We wanted to make sure that both teams were equally represented to please both parties.

(Just a fun side note, Sheri is also nice enough to help me keep up with my Etsy conversations. Some days I have 20 or more conversations to answer.Thanks for the help Sheri!! ) Sheri and Trevor are throwing a Superbowl party this upcoming weekend and wanted to include some fun party printables. So Sheri came to me for design help! Yay! These printables were super fun to design and I thought it would be nice to share them with you too!

When I was at shopping at Costco today, I noticed an awesome pack of football plates and napkins that would match these items perfectly too! Though you may not have any huge plans for Super Bowl Sunday aside from eating fatty appetizers, drinking way too much beer, laughing at ridiculous commercials, and hoping for another wardrobe malfunction during the half time show, these party printables will liven up any Super Bowl Party!

If you do use these printables at your party, I’d love to see them so please email me some photos or share them on facebook! Happy Super Bowl XLVI (that’s number 46 if you forgot your roman numerals) and in case you haven’t begun the countdown, there is only 2 days and 17 plus hours until kickoff!!!

FREE SUPER BOWL PRINTABLES Cupcake Toppers/Party Circles (4 designs) Beer Bottle Label Super Bowl Ticket Pass there’s even a space to personalize them! Drink/Cup Label stop searching for your drink, write your name on it and claim it Place Cards/Food Labels Tent Style Water Bottle/ Drink Label- Patriots Water Bottle/Drink Label- Giants Water Bottle/Drink Label-Official NFL Drink Water Bottle/Drink Label- Football in grass

I also thought the water bottle/drink labels would make awesome napkin wraps so you could wrap up silverware and a napkin for each guest. Just a thought. In case you were wondering, the font I used was Good Times, which seems appropriate!
