Birthday Mania

I am gearing up for Madelyn's 1st birthday party! I am excited but also exhausted. The excited part can't wait to start setting everything up on Sunday for all our friends and family to enjoy. The exhausted part of me wishes I had kept this to a small family party. But it's too late for that and I have spent way too much money to have regrets now. Miss Madelyn is going to have the best first birthday party ever!! (ok keeping it real, it may not be the best ever but she's one, she won't know the difference! Ha!) but it will be a great party with great people. But I am telling you what.. Doing all this by yourself is HARD. I have to clean my house, cook all the food, make Madelyn's birthday outfit ( yea-I went there! But she will look fantabulous!), and finish the decorations all the while keeping my now walking one year old aka birthday girl...entertained. I know I know... Your all thinking what the heck were you thinking?!?!? Well... I never do anything half way so might as well go big or go home. So that being said...check back soon for pics of the birthday bash!

Has it really been a year already?

My little baby girl is turning a year old next week!  I am not ready! My little independant miss has started walking/running all over the place. As I am writing this she is standing inside her birthday gift waving at me with this huge smile of joy. How sweet is she? (see photo)

Its so strange to think that a year ago I was so uncertain about my future and how I could possibly do this single mommy thing but I could never imagine my life without this little miracle. Of course she is already spoiled by all of us and has already enjoyed the fun of her birthday gifts lol..of course it is hard to hide a play house. haha.. we are having a big backyard bash for her party and I am hoping it all comes together as I planned. I want it to be perfect (not that she will care or even notice) and I am loving all the planning. Party photos to follow!

 

 

 

 

A brand new start

As most of you know the month of June has brought many changes in my life. We have been running around crazy for the most part so finding a minute to breathe..let alone blog has been a challenge.

8 months old today

My baby girl is 8 months old today. I can't even describe how happy she makes my life. Milestones will be in the next post. Love my Madelyn Leigha!

Busy busy

I have totally been neglecting my blog lately, but my life has been pretty chaotic. So here is a quick catch up on the family.
