It was really difficult for me to put together a Christmas list for Everly.  She honestly isn't interested in "toys" right now.  She enjoys spending her time taking every single DVD out of the entertainment center and stacking them on the coffee table, or taking all my nail polish out of the cabinet, putting them in baskets and carrying them around like a purse. She loves pulling the broom...

We are taking a pause from our Kentucky Bucket List to start on one for the month of December.  Although I know it is necessary, I always feel a bit of mom guilt when Chad and I go on adventures by ourselves.  So, we've come up with a list of family friendly activities we can enjoy with Everly next month.    1) Help Nana decorate her Christmas trees. 2) Get Everly and Mommy...

I can't believe Thanksgiving is less than a week away.  My mother always hosts the Thanksgiving family get together.  However she is having surgery the day before.  Consequently I am responsible for getting the meals planned and prepped and entertaining. For breakfast we will be having cinnamon rolls from our favorite bakery in town I posted about here.  I also plan on putting...

In honor of the start of Kentucky basketball season let's talk about my love for all the local Kentucky shops and the stylish shirts they are creating to allow us to fashionably showcase our state pride.  One of my many favorites is Kentucky Branded.  I have a couple of their shirts and they are staples in my mom wardrobe; because let's be honest this is typically how I'm dressed on the...

We had a relaxing weekend filled with laziness and good food.  Saturday morning we decided to introduce Everly to cinnamon rolls.  I used to eat cinnamon rolls on the reg when I was a kid.  I'm talking 3 or 4 of the Pillsbury cinnamon rolls all to myself.  But I have stayed away from them the last few years in an effort to eat healthier.  Consequently Everly has never...

I have an extra festive list of favorites for you guys today.  It may have something to do with the Christmas pictures we are taking this weekend, or maybe this...  1) We received these festive matching pajamas in the mail today and it took everything I had not to wear them during the day. Old Navy and Gap of course have some adorable pajamas for the little ones too. ...

Another weekend has come and gone.  But the holiday season makes Mondays a little less painful. I am trying hard not to explode Christmas over here and respect the remaining fall and Thanksgiving season.  So here's what we were up to: Saturday was a quiet day.  In true festive fashion we spent the morning baking pumpkin cookies with homemade cream cheese frosting.  It took...

We celebrated Chad's 29th birthday this week! I always love a good excuse to spoil my husband.  He truly is the best of the best.  We decided to celebrate with bourbon by heading to Versailles and marking off another tour on our Bourbon Trail.  We took a little road trip and visited the Woodford Reserve Distillery. On our way there we had to stop at Chad's favorite restaurant,...

Hello November! Before we get into the full swing of the holiday season, let's recap our Halloween.  I present to you: Everly the friendly witch!   We had a full weekend of Halloween festivities and birthday celebrations.  Thursday we headed downtown for the Trail of Treats.  There were hundreds of people all over the riverfront.  People were standing in...
