My girl. Today you are 6 years young. But tonight as I type this you are still 5. 5 years old for only 2 more hours. Tonight I will wait for you to fall asleep with your mouth open snoring that loud yet little snore you have. Tonight I will take all of your gifts out of my closet and decorate the dining area in the corner of our tiny apartment. But for now, I glance over at you fighting your sleep, your sister continuously playing with you to keep you up. The smell of the cake I am baking you ...

Throwing A Birthday Party At Seaquest in Folsom CA.
“This post is sponsored by; Seaquest & Oriental Trading Company, however, all thoughts and opinions are my own.” Hi friends! Recently Ivy and Aria had their second successful joint birthday party (read about the first one here). I enjoy throwing parties for them together for many reasons but mainly because it's convenient and the two of them love it.

Aria’s Pancakes & Pajamas birthday.
Hi Friends! As you all know last week my baby girl turned 4 years old. Her birthday landed on a Tuesday so to celebrate her day I put together a fun little after school get together with family and close friends. Oh yeah, there were also pancakes and pajamas. The kitchen filled with the smell of delicious breakfast foods. Mini sausages, regular and Canadian bacon, pancakes and lots of sliced fruits. While my sisters arrived later and cooked all the meats the girl's great grandmother came ...
Aria Skye you are 4.
4 years old. Today my baby girl is 4. I remember the day she was born like it just happened. I woke up thinking it was a day like any other day especially since her due date was actually around January 23, 2016. I went about my day as I always did. But I totally should have seen this coming because the night before January 5 I was having the worst contractions ever. I remember Dayjhan rubbing my back and helpless watching over me as I cried. The next day my water would break grocery shopping, I ...
Happy 1st Birthday Piaona.
Hi friends! Happy Saturday. The best day of the week and also my niece's very first birthday. Little miss Piaona, I remember the day your mommy told me she was pregnant with you. I couldn't believe it. I was so excited and so thrilled. The years have flown by since we lost your big brother and though they say time heals all, it never takes the pain away. When you were sent to us not only we're you a beautiful rainbow but also that little light our whole family had needed for these last few ...
30 Wishes For 30.
Hi friends! Today is my birthday, I am 30 years old. Technically as I type this I am actually 29 but by the time I publish this and you are reading it, I'll be 30. Wow.. 30. The big 3! 0! I remember when I turned 18 thinking adulthood... "I am finally an adult." cute right? Little did I know at 30 I am nowhere near the adult I thought I would be when I turned 18. Nevertheless, these 30 years have been amazing. Through everything that has happened good or bad in my life, I am thankful I am here. ...
