Well folks, as you may have noticed I haven’t posted a blog update in a few days… and for good reason.
I’m happy to say that we welcomed our second daughter Zoe Rose Grahan on 1/28/15. We’re so happy to have this wonderful, healthy, beautiful addition to our family.
I’ll be taking a little hiatus from the blog to get settled into my new role as a mommy of 2. If you want to know what I’m up to in the meantime, follow me on Instagram.
Ciao for Now,

Some of you might remember when I did an ‘Inspirational Words for your Friday” post a while back. I’ve decided to do another one to put us all in a good mood for the weekend. Here are 12 of my current faves. Enjoy!

Are there any words that are inspiring you these days… or just making you laugh?

I’m not sure when Christmas in July became a thing, but I’m cool with it. Christmas is my FAVORITE holiday so I see no issues getting into the spirit in the middle of summer.
On that note, I realized that I never shared our first official family photo-shoot we did for our Christmas cards this past year. So here you go… enjoy!
Last but not least… the outtake
All photos by my sister, Megan Williams (thanks, sis!).

A letter to Keira on her first birthday.
Dearest Keira –
A year ago today at exactly 4pm, you came into the world a healthy 9lb, 1oz beautiful baby girl. The doctor placed you in my arms and you laid on my chest. We spent the next hour staring into one another’s eyes. I remember being exhausted, and yet I couldn’t look away. I studied every feature of your face, trying to wrap my head around what the future would hold for you, for us, for our family. I was captivated by your beautiful big blue eyes, and instantly my heart was filled with joy, love and awe.
Today you turn 1, and today I thank you for giving me the most wonderful year of my life. I’ve enjoyed every moment of watching you grow. You’re so young yet you’re already becoming a beautiful little lady. I’m so in love with you…it is beyond words.
Happy Birthday with all my ♥♥♥,
Mom

Happy 2014 Everyone… I’m back!
What better excuse to start blogging again than the start of a new year, right?!?
2013 has been the most wonderful and life-changing year of my life with the birth of my daughter. Life is definitely harder as a working mom, but I’m filled with joy and gratitude every day. Of course I’m no different than the rest of you overly ambitious individuals, so I begin 2014 by thinking of all of the changes I will make this year.
As I thought about my resolutions this year, the list began like this:
Then I moved on to my more personal goals:
Then, realizing that I’m just a mere mortal, I moved on to…
Finally, I realized that what I really need to do in 2014 is to…
Let’s face it, I’m not Martha Stewart or Sheryl Sandberg or Mother Teresa or Wonder Woman. I’m Me, and all I can do is try my best everyday to be the best Me I can be.
So this year, my hope for all of my readers is that you make every effort to be the best version of yourself and…
