Eggcellent Easter
We celebrated Roan’s first Easter and Lake’s third in the sunshine- I am thankful for the beautiful weather we had over the weekend because of course, we met Monday morning with snow. Lake’s pants and shirt are both from Janie and Jack. Roan’s outfit is from Marie Nicole.

Disney 2022
Lake’s second trip to Disney (at 2.5 years) and Roan’s first trip to Disney (at 7 months) was one to remember. Lake is very in to Toy Story so the Buzz Lightyear ride in Magic Kingdom and Toy Story Land in Hollywood Studios were his favorites, along with the Star Wars area at Hollywood Studios and all the “Sausage sandwishes” AKA cheeseburgers. Roan was such a little trooper and was the happiest girl all week. We all loved wathcing them both have fun. I am so thankful for these memories made with our kids, my parents, and my grandparents.

{Rainbow} Roan
Just some adorable pictures of our little girl at 5 months old. Whenever I get pictures of her I always think, “These are my new favorites.” But these really truly are my new favorites! I love her expressions in them and her sparkling eyes. Dress and topknot linked at the bottom of the photo gallery.

Nursery Style for Baby Girl: Roan’s Room
Roan Niles Skelton’s room is just like her; beauty and femininity paired with boldness and power. This room turned out just as I had envisioned and I love it for her. The first thing I knew I wanted were the navy plaid walls and I think it is such a perfect backdrop for this pretty little space. My favorite elements include the portrait of Derby, a similar painting to the one of her in Lake’s room but with the added girls touch of the adorable flower crown; the antique dresser Daniel painted the perfect shade of pink, the water color jockey silks, the Nancy Drew art that is special to…

Breastfeeding and Pumping Essentials
Breastfeeding is no joke. It is such a difficult thing to do in many ways- planning your day around feedings, figuring out what to do and how to pump when you have to be away from baby, storing milk, finding the best pump for you, etc. It’s a lot. With my son Lake, I was new to breastfeeding and felt like I learned something new every day about tips and tricks, what to do and not to do. One of my biggest regrets is not joining a support group (one I found on Facebook that I joined when he was about nine months old) sooner. I instantly felt connected to…

Zuma Pete Skelton
We are crazy- On October 24th, we mt the newest love of our lives, Zuma (yes, definitely named after the Chocolate Lab on Paw Patrol). Zuma is a Chocolate Lab. On November 2nd, we weighed in at 25 pounds! He has the cutest white marks on the bottom of his front paws ans he has gorgeous green eyes. We love him to pieces and Derby does, too. He was born August 18th (a week before Roan!) and is the sweetest, smartest little guy.

Happy Halloween 2021
Lake LOVED Halloween this year- I spent the week talking up his costume, teaching him about trick-or-treating, and getting him excited. It worked. He went as Chewbacca and Roan spent her first Halloween as Baby Yoda. Zuma of West Lafayette went as Zuma of Adventure Bay- Let’s Dive In!
