Designing and sending birth announcements is so much fun for me. With Denver, I actually ordered her announcements while I was in Labor with her and went back to complete the details. For Ray's Announcement, I took her photos and hand drew them myself. With Brennan, now that I am juggling three girls and really …

One week in, and I am quickly learning Brennan's (and my) favorite things! I talked about a lot of these items on my baby registry post, and ALL of these products that I am trying for the very first time and did not have for Denver and Ray. Of course, I am using all the …
When we moved to St. Croix, we gained another bedroom, we chose to give the extra bedroom to Brennan, that way I don't disturb the girls during late night feedings. Now that both are out of a crib Denver and Ray share their Ikea bunkbed! Full disclosure, we are still working on getting D comfortable …
I think the kiss of death was assuming my third birth would go like my first two but is it though? I was induced with both Denver and Ray, with each of them, I walked into the hospital already dilated at least 3cm, I got the drugs, I got the pitocin and I had a …
We welcomed our third baby girl, Brennan Garland, Monday night a little after 8pm. A lot of waiting, but a short labor and she was in the world happy and healthy. (I will share her birth story a little bit later). Everyone was able to meet her Tuesday morning including two VERY proud big sisters. …

Does anyone else feel completely stumped when it comes to buying gifts for a baby shower? You know there's a registry for a reason, but sometimes it feels boring just buying something off of a list. I always have trouble with this, I like to put thought into the gifts I give, while making sure …
We did a little maternity shoot last weekend in downtown Fredricksted, St. Croix and Mother's Day feels like the perfect day to share them. Of course, the girls (mostly Denver) stole the show, but I am so thrilled to get some photos of this ever growing bump of mine. Photos by Meredith Zimmerman Denver's Dress …
Getting a baby sister is a pretty big deal in our house- Denver will have two sisters to look after and Ray is getting a promotion. Knowing there will be SO much attention on the new baby, I want to make sure the girls are feeling the love and getting something special when the baby …
Packing the bag, the sure fire way you are READY for baby to come. I like to have our bags packed about 2 weeks ahead of time, but this pregnancy is throwing us some curve balls so the earlier the better. Whatever doesn't get packed is listed and on the fridge and on the bathroom …
