To my little ding dongs...that's what I like to call them these days. What a month it's been! Their personalities are hilarious to watch. Whitney is stoic and doesn't crack a smile easily, but when she does it's the sweetest thing. Walt is my goofball and laughs at anything I do.

Life lately:

• STOP the sickness! I don't remember a day I haven't given one of them antibiotics in the past 6 weeks.

• I took a new job and life has been insane! I've doubled my commute, and I have much more work to do during the day. I leave work at 4, get home just in time to pick them up by 5 and it's a $%&# show till about 8pm. However, I love my job!

• Alex and I took a mini-vacation to Houston for my 30th and it was the best! Much needed time away from kiddos, where we could actually talk and eat in peace. My in-laws drove down from Dallas to watch all three!

Onesies: Gap. Moccasins: Freshly Picked.

It happened...we finally made it to church! It only took 8 months! I've missed it so much, but nap time always seemed to coincide with it and I was too anxious about getting us all there. Any mamas experience this?!

Can you believe that Walt and Whitney have NEVER worn shoes until this point?! There are tons of baby moccasins around these days, but Freshly Picked was the first one on the market. I've followed FP for years and have always wanted a pair for my kiddos! I loved seeing Susan on Shark Tank and have enjoyed following her business's journey.  Since I won't ever have any more babies I knew this was my final chance to try them out and I've got to say...I'm SOLD! I've drunk the koolaid and I'm a fan forever. Why you ask?

A few months ago I met my friend Stephanie for lunch and her adorable baby girl was wearing the cutest bonnet. She told me about the company Love Factory New York, which all of the items are handmade by a woman named Rie. I immediately reached out hoping to collaborate. A few weeks later Rie sent me these adorable outfits for Walt and Whitney.

As a lover of fashion, I also enjoy dressing up my kiddos. I've learned over the past few years that buying second hand is a game changer when it comes to my budget. I've been able to buy and sell clothes using thredUP and it has saved me a ton! When I go shopping on their site, I choose my favorite brands to search through...usually Gap, Old Navy, Mini Boden and Carter's. Everything I've ever ordered has been super high quality, so I know I'm getting a great deal.

As a mom who knows how fast time flies when raising a child, I want to capture every moment and every month my babies grow. And as a lover of blogging and Instagram, I've learned how to take simple yet fun baby photos. When I look back on their milestone photos, I absolutely love seeing their physical transformation (as sad as it is to see them grow). Today I want to share with you how I stage the perfect photo, and all of these photos were taken with my iPhone.  This post is sponsored by Carter’s; however, all thoughts and opinions expressed are my own.
