First School Picture

16 Dec

Soooooo this post is crazy late. To say things have been busy is the understatement of the century.  Chad is gallivanting all over the country with his company, I’m working like a crazy lady, Mason just discovered his passion for art and Moe is … well… doing absolutely nothing. Here is our big man’s first [...]

Marvelous Monograms

15 Nov

After scanning Pinterest for some fun home decor ideas, I came across this monogram idea and I fell in love with it.  Like head over heels, I-need-this-in-my-life in love.  I’ve never been big on the monograms but this one spoke to me.

Ear Tube Blues

10 Nov

At Mason’s 9 month check up, our wonderful Pediatrician noticed a teeny tiny bit of fluid in his ear.  He prescribed some amoxicillin and I didn’t really think twice about it.  My thought was that we caught it early enough that it would just clear up and Mason wouldn’t even know it.  wrong-o. After about [...]

An Incredible Halloween

1 Nov

This was our first year with true-blue trick-or-treaters at our very own house decorated in our very own Halloween decorations and pumpkins and the whole nine yards. SO exciting. It was also Mason’s first Halloween and so we had to go big. Incredibly big. You may have guessed it already but we dressed up as [...]

Pumpkin Carving 2012

31 Oct

Happy Halloween Everyone! Our pumpkins are carved, candy is bought and costumes are ready! Here are the Ledford pumpkins:  Here is my pumpkin! Here is Chad’s pumpkin! And I used Mason’s pumpkin as a tootsie pop holder for the late night trick-or-treaters: Cute right?! I’m sure it won’t last long on the front stairs but [...]

Mason & Mommy Must-Haves

24 Oct

These are the totally-necessary-cant-live-without necessities that Mason loves and that help me keep it together (or at least make it look like I’m together.)  The Petunia Pickle Bottom and Trumpette socks were gifts but are totally worth it.  I highly suggest splurging if you can swing it.         We use all of [...]

Heirloom Day Lilies

23 Oct

During our trip to Maine this year, my Aunt Alison gave me some day lilies from the back yard to take home and test out my green thumb. Day lilies have been a pretty big deal on that side of my family – they are pretty much everywhere at everyone’s home. My Nan had them [...]

Mason at 9 Months

16 Oct

Is my baby really 9 months old?!  Actually if I feel like being honest, he is closer to 10 months now than 9 months.  I seriously can’t believe it’s already been that long! Here is a list of what he is up to these days: Speed crawling.  He no longer moseys over to places and [...]

Appalachian Homecoming

8 Oct

This year marked our 10th App State Homecoming (OMG) that’s was a really long time ago.  2002 … we didn’t even have cell phone cameras back then, or navigation or the iTunes app store! How did we even survive?! With Mason in tow, this year topped all previous years… no contest.  He was amazing. Here are the [...]

Painting A Brick House

1 Oct

As you may know, our new house is (was) lovingly referred to as “two-toned” because of its half siding / half brick exterior.  Totally ’80s.  Totally tacky.  Some people like it and I’m super glad for them but we just weren’t digging it.  It’s a great house and we love it but the exterior was [...]
