We welcomed our own little boy, Samuel Zachary, on 4/11/14. At age 2 1/2 he was diagnosed with Autism. It’s a wild ride we’re on, but we trust in the hope that God provides. Sam is the sweetest little boy, and he’s taught us so much! I’m so excited to see what God has in store for his life!
We welcomed our sweet baby girl, Sophie Michelle, on 1/14/16. She is all sass and personality plus! She cracks us up daily and is so smart! She also talks our ears off, which is the greatest thing.
On 5/7/19 we welcomed our sweet boy Oliver Lucca, into this world. He is the perfect final addition to our little family! I’ve been really taking it slow and enjoying this postpartum journey this time around. There’s something about knowing it’s your last time that really makes it so very special.
I love Jesus and my faith, and have my mum (my very own guardian angel) to thank for that. I try to live a healthy lifestyle, and enjoy feeding my body with good fuel. I love big hair and bright lights and pretty words. I enjoy kettle corn probably more than most things. I don’t take life too seriously, but I also don’t take it for granted. And I love love love, Love.

You’re life sounds very fun and I’m definitely looking forward to ready more of your posts! Also my niece was born exactly one day before your daughter. Her name is Zaydah and she was born 01/13/16 so I thought that was really cool!

Hi Katie!
I love following you and your family and love you blog! You have inspired me and help me start my own blog this year so thank you for all your tips on how to start one up! I am really struggling at the moment because I feel stuck on the fact that visual I am not loving on how my blog looks and don’t know how to fix it. Can you suggest on where I can find the help?
Thank you!

Hi Michelle!
I’m so happy to hear that I was an inspiration! Getting your blog perfectly designed is definitely challenging and can be one of the more frustrating things at the beginning. I recommend premium themes by Studiopress because of how easy they are to customize. That said, you might still have to learn a bit of coding or find someone to do it cheaply for you. My husband is my basically my designer, so unfortunately I don’t have any recommendations in that department. What I can tell you is that a lot of blog designers leave their own link at the very bottom of blogs that they work on. So to find designers, just visit a few blogs that you like and scroll to the very bottom. You’ll find a link on many blogs that will take you to a designer’s website. I hope that helps! Sorry this reply took so long, I also emailed it to you!
