Lake Does Churchill Downs
I have been envisioning Lake’s first trip to Churchill Downs since before he was born. I ordered this tiny and perfect pink seersucker suit for him when I was pregnant, picturing him at his first Kentucky Derby. What I didn’t envision of course was a pandemic- The derby ran without spectators last year and this year, there were too many unknowns to anticipate if going would be a smart idea for us, especially with a toddler.

Perfect Pumpkin Picking
Fall feels with our nosy little boy- Daniel and I loved watching Lake at the pumpkin patch last weekend. He is so curious; he stares down every new person he sees and takes it all in as he listens, watches, and learns. You can see the gears moving as he observes a new environment. We loved picking out some fun pumpkins for our front porch at Kent’s Cucubis in Brookston, IN. It was a nice selection of both perfectly round and wonderfully weird pumpkins, plus the weather was gorgeous on a Sunday evening. We walked through their beautiful sunflower field and enjoyed a rare night all to ourselves. My dress…

Best of Baby Gear: My Favorite baby items
Favorite burp rags and bibs: Copper Pearl brand for both- Quality material, stands up in the wash, soft, thick, and absorbent. Plus, I like bandanna bibs best in terms of shape and fit and Copper Pearl’s products are adorable. Favorite lotions and soaps/shampoos: Aveeno and Burt’s Bees products are wonderful smells and nice on baby’s skin. The lavender products make for a good bedtime wind-down vibe. Favorite diaper rash product: Aquaphor is good for this use, but also for rough patches on baby’s skin or rashes. It is a multi-use thing you’ll get great use out of all the time. Favorite bath products: fun hooded towels, thin wash cloths are…
