My mom’s birthday is Sunday, so look out for some gorgeous (or potentially disastrous) cake photos on my Instagram – because I’m going homemade. It’s October 13th, and I have no fall decorations up. So I think I’m just going to skip it and wait to decorate for Christmas. Am I lazy? A Story Told‘s newest…
this is for BABIES ONLY
Do you ever think it’s weird how we find everything that babies do to be ridiculously adorable, yet if an adult was to do those same things you would immediately call the insane asylum? This is something that has boggled my mind many a time. Last week, Trey and I were discussing this topic and…
let’s talk about expensive babies – and one way I have saved a little (or a lot) of $$$
Burp cloths, binkies, bottles, OH MY! The numbers add up VERY quickly. According to Baby Center’s First-Year Baby Costs Calculator, the average cost of me having a baby when I plugged in my most basic needs during that first year of life is $2,154.

I’ve always admired my dad and have had what I would consider to be a good relationship with him, for which I am immensely grateful. However, I feel…
our homey home
Homeownership – something that I have anxiously awaited for a long time. There were certain things I looked forward to about growing up and “adulting,” such as graduating college, getting married, buying our first house, having kids, etc. When my husband and I got married, we were privileged to be able to rent “the house…
what am I doing?
So what am I doing writing a blog? Being a new mom, I’m slightly obsessed with my tiny human. I love the way she talks, eats, sleeps, poops, grows, and learns daily. She is the most adorable, sweetest little babe I’ve ever known. Also, I know how quickly the past three months that she has…
