Holiday Gift Swap Awesomeness

While perusing Instagram today I came across this... the Goody Goody Gift Swap!

The Goody Goody Giftswap is a holiday giftswap for creatives – big & little – all around the world. In a world where we’re often glued to our electronics, it’s nice to connect to give & receive physical homemade, thoughtful or inspiring objects.

I can get on board that! I signed up and can't wait to see who I get. I love holiday gift swaps with strangers.  There is just something about finding a new friend and figuring out the perfect gift....

Hoppy Easter!

It's Olivia's 1st Easter!

 Checking out her Easter Basket from Mom & Dad - Whoops! I mean the Easter Bunny!

 Tasting the shirt!

For her first Easter we decided to not go too crazy.  We got her a couple books; The Night Before Easter (super fun book and cheap too!), Murray's First Book of Words from Target, Little Blue Truck Leads the Way (LOVE this book!).  She got some cute spring onesies and pink bunny ears! She also got some of her favorite baby foods.  She just loves those lil' crunchies!

We are spending Easter Weekend at the Cabin with Olivia's Grandparents and Cousins!  Can't wait!

Holiday Spirit!

This past weekend we were embracing the Holiday Spirit! (which is amazing for my husband - he usually hates it)
The house is decorated, we saw Santa (and Olivia grabbed his beard to make sure he was real!), and all of our Christmas shopping is done! Yay!

Having a little one around the holidays is seriously awesome.  The past years Christmas has always just been another holiday.  Now I am all excited about Christmas traditions and creating our own with Olivia.

What holiday traditions do you take part in? I want to make sure I am doing all the best stuff!

Embracing the Camera over at The Anderson Crew!

Back at it...

I am officially back to work which is super sad but at the same time it is good (if that makes sense at all...)
I hate leaving my little peanut at daycare - I would much rather be the one receiving all her baby smiles all day.  Nope, our awesome daycare lady gets them all!  So back to work.... it's like riding a bike.  Seriously! It feels like I never even left which is pretty weird.

My workload isn't completely full yet so I have been browsing pinterest (of course!)

Ok - I know it is only the middle of October but I keep finding myself checking out Christmas stuff! WHAT!? I think with a little one in our family I just can't wait and want to make it super special.  AND I am excited to take some pictures of her for our holiday card - with ideas I found off of pinterest.
