    This post is sponsored by Playtex Baby. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Please read my disclaimer page for more information. Date nights have become something that Derrek and I plan once a week so that we can have some one on one time to reconnect.

When Nolan and Harper were both infants, getting away was really hard for me to do because neither of them would take a bottle. I was blown away by how quickly Scarlet Reese took a bottle when we used the Playtex® VentAire™ Bottle. When…

    Ella Mercy’s Birth Story

    The weeks are flying by and I can’t believe it! As I look through these maternity pictures, I feel like this photo session was just the other day. Amber Coker did the most amazing job at capturing what I wanted for this session and I cannot wait for our next one. She is going to come and take pictures of us as a family now that Mercy has joined us Earth side. We just have A LOT going on right now (and I will fill yall in soon, when I can discuss it publicly) so Amber is being patient with me until we can get together. I know that I’ve…
