Kate's First Year - A Video

I made a video! My first one! Hahaha… can you tell I’m a little proud of myself? I watched this how-to video on YouTube last week and then got to work in iMovie. I’ve spent probably a couple hours each day for the past few days editing it down. Tough to do when you’ve got hundreds of videos of your kid on your phone. I started with over an hour of video footage and trimmed it down to a little over 3 minutes. Pretty good for a full year’s worth of content! The song is “Planet” by my sister-in-law Daniella Mason. She wrote it with my brother, who plays guitar on the track. I think a song by Kate’s aunt and uncle is the perfect choice for her first year video! Enjoy.

One Year With Kate

Today our precious angel is one year old, and my what a year it has been! A year ago yesterday, my husband and I were all checked in at the hospital and feeling a mix of anxious, excited, and grateful. Looking back now on those first few days of Kate’s life, it seems like an entirely different era and hardly like it was only a short year ago. This milestone felt SO far away this time last year! But here we are. We made it.

A Woodland Creature Themed Baby Shower

Last weekend Kate and I traveled to my hometown of Kingwood, Texas (a suburb of Houston) to celebrate my cousin Liza and her future baby boy. I love love LOVE throwing a party, y’all… especially baby showers! It’s subtle, but if you look closely you’ll notice we went with a woodland creature theme. I love how everything turned out. Our family can’t wait to add a little boy to the mix!

Reflecting on 2019 + Goals for 2020

In today’s post, I’m reflecting on my biggest highlights of 2019 (and the decade!) plus sharing my goals for the coming year. I also sprinkle in a few personal updates of things I haven’t shared on social media yet! This post is on the longer side (sorry!), but I really wanted to be intentional about my goals for 2020 and writing everything out really helps me process.
