Nursery Letters By Jenae

23 Aug

Nothing adds the perfect finishing touch to a well thought-out nursery like hanging the child’s name. It just seems to tie everything together and say, “Welcome little bundle of joy.” With this mind, my sister-in-law Jenae creates these little masterpieces. She has for every baby in our family and lately for everyone we know. Click [...]

Oreo Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies

9 Jul

A single Oreo + a sweet chocolate chip cookie = a marriage you can’t help but drool over. Surely, there isn’t a recipe better suited to kickoff the Great Vegas Mom Recipe Exchange. The Oreo Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookie was first introduced to me by Vegas momma Malorie. She found it on  BeckyBakes and believe it [...]

The Booty Buster

5 Apr

  If I lugged my two favorite little ones around everyday, I’d have the best legs in Vegas! However, that’s a little ambitious. But I did take them today to see the horses nearby. They looked so cute in the bike trailer. I looked back and saw that my nephew’s arm was wrapped around Lizzy. [...]

Birthday Bonanza

17 Jan

This weekend we conquered back-to-back birthday bashes. The first one was on Saturday. It was for my friend Whitney’s son Preston; he turned two. She really went all out. The party had MMMazing homemade food for mommy and a giant bounce house, trampoline, sandbox and swing-set for the kids. Whitney said she got the bounce [...]

Every mom loves taking photos of their little princes and beauty queens and I’m certainly no exception to the rule. But lately, I’ve been having a lot of fun in Photoshop trying to take my photos to the next level. I’ve read studies that suggest puzzles keep aging brains sharp; I can attest that there [...]

Behind the Scenes for the Page Family Holiday Photo

13 Nov

I have a really snazzy digital SLR camera that, like many, I use as a “point and click.” I also have Photoshop installed on my Mac. I barely know how to use either. The more I learn about both, the more I realize I’m way over my head. Nonetheless, I’ve always wanted my photos to [...]

Lizzy’s First Photo Shoot

6 Oct

I’m a firm believer that the second sentence of the Declaration of Independence should be amended to the following: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, the pursuit of Happiness and fabulous Newborn Photos!” [...]

Puppy Pride Onesie

15 Sep

When Lizzy arrives she’ll be sportin’ this onesie to show her pit bull-pride, because it’s never too soon to start supporting a cause. The media has done this breed such an injustice. Therefore, she’s going to be the cutest little spokesmodel for her puppy companions. If raised in a loving home, pit bulls are some [...]

The nursery is complete, except for one thing… Lizzy

14 Sep

The nursery is complete, all except for one thing…Lizzy. The room is quiet and spotless for now, but she’ll be arriving any day and I can’t wait to mess it all up. My hubby and I decided to go with peach for the wall color. We wanted something feminine, but not as predictable as pink. [...]

My Homemade Baby Ring Sling

25 Aug

I’m super nervous about having to breastfeed in public, especially around my immediate family. We’re all very outgoing and we love spending time together, but the precedent for feeding has been formula. It’s inevitable that I’ll have to feed Lizzy in front of the family so I’ve been keeping my eyes peeled for the right [...]
