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,

With baby #2’s impending arrival, it’s becoming more apparent that my precious Keira is not a baby anymore. At times it makes me a little sad to think that I’ll have to split my time between 2 kids instead of just devoting all of it to Keira, but from what I hear, your heart miraculously grows with each subsequent child (#SecondTimeMomProblems).
It’s such a mix of emotions at this stage… some sadness, some excitement and lots and lots of anticipation. I’ll be 38 weeks tomorrow, so we’ll see when baby #2 decides to make her debut.
In the meantime, I’m doing my best to enjoy this last little bit of mommy time with Keira, and allowing myself to indulge in a little nostalgia looking at old photos.
Enjoy the weekend!

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…
♥♥ Vicky
