Happy Birthday to our clan’s princess: Roan. See bottom of post for linked party items.

Mitten Memories: Fall Break Dump 2023
We had the best little getaway in Michigan last week. Lake had the honor of being the ring bearer in Keegan and Sabrina’s wedding. He did SUCH a good job and was sooooooo excited to wear his tux. Roan and Lake both danced the night away at the reception! We got to Petoskey a little early, so we ventured out to a light house and Lake was very interested in learning about buoys. We spent one night in Mackinaw City and another in Charlevoix, before heading over to Mackinac Island for a quick visit on our last day. Roan was obsessed with the “Neigh Neighs” on the island and both…

Momma and Me Matching Style
Roan and I are in our matching era and I hope it never ends! I loved matching Roany in our Ivy City Co. dresses last week. We had the pleasure of attending a wedding (where Lake served as ring bearer!) and these pretty dresses were perfect. PLUS these beauties are now on Final Sale so they are majorly discounted! Women’s ran TTS, but we sized down on Roan’s; it ran large. See links to both dresses below.

Roan’s Prime Time Diner
Every trip to Disney World, we eat at the 50’s Prime Time Cafe in Hollywood Studios. The restaurant is a replica of a classic 50’s home, complete with Formica countertops, milkshakes, and your cousin or uncle serving as your waiter or waitress. Your server will instruct you to keep your elbows off the table and you’ll enjoy comfort food while watching 50’s clips on the black and white tv’s. I thought it would be fun to pay homage to our traditional food stop at the most magical place on earth (and to us) but with our own spin on it, so Roan’s second birthday party theme was “Roan’s Prime Time…

Skelton Family Fall 2022
It has been such a wonderful experience working with Lindsay Konopa and Julia Wadsworth over the past year and a half. We started with maternity pictures last summer, then added Roan’s newborn session, a spring family session, Roan’s one-year photos, and one last family session to round out our series just a few weeks ago. Please check out Lindsay’s work here and Julia’s work here. I cannot rave about them enough. They are easy to work with, great with kids, and they both create such beautiful and REAL work. I can’t wait to work them both again.
