A year of soaking up every moment and memory we can.  A year of changing diapers, checking the monitor, rocking, reading, singing, bath time, bottles and bite bites. A year of re-learning who I am—as a mom, wife, and business owner. This year has come with a lot of change! A new little human, moving […]

These past few months it feels like Madelyn has graduated from baby to toddler. She’s playing more independently, crawling everywhere, cruising along all the furniture, and opening up every cabinet door she can find! As  a first time mom I’ve found myself doing a lot of research on baby products, something I didn’t really anticipate […]

Hey Miss Personality!!! Ten months has been fun and busy! Our little girl is quite the explorer and keeps us on our toes. She’s pulling up on anything and everything, started climbing the stairs, and is an active little lady! She loves playing with her cousins and meeting new friends at the gym nursery. She’s […]

2021 you were a beautiful year! I finished pregnancy strong at 41 weeks pregnant eating a reuben sandwich to celebrate St. Pattys’ Day in the L&D room! We have loved every single minute with our sweet baby girl, Madelyn James. Moved half-way across the country back to my hometown to be close to our people! […]

Today my sweet girl is nine months old. I cannot believe it. This month has flown by.. In fact, the past three months have flown by. Since moving to Tennessee our lives have been a non-stop whirlwind. We moved into our house less than two months ago and it’s been a revolving door of friends […]

After a thousand mile move halfway across the country and living with the grandparents for 6 weeks when our closing date was moved back a month … we are finally in our new house! Just a week into officially being Tennesseeans, we had Bethany Sams come over to capture our girl at 7 months old! […]

  Gosh, I cannot believe that eleven years ago we were driving away from our reception headed to Asheville NC to kick off our honeymoon at Grove Park Inn. Somedays it feels like yesterday, and others it feels like a lifetime ago. You were my best friend on that day, and our love and friendship […]

Last year, for birthday #36, Kyle and I went on a bike ride from Gooseberry Falls outside of Duluth Minnesota to the Splitrock Lighthouse. We had a picnic at the lighthouse and then rode our bikes back. He bought me a pair of Tennessee Nike shoes. I was 18-ish weeks pregnant. It is one of […]

Gosh, time is flying by and our little angel is already six months old. I can hardly believe how much she has grown this past month and all the milestones she is hitting. I feel like in just the last week or so she’s become so much less “baby” and her big personality is shining […]

According to mymove.com, there were 15.9 million address change requests in 2020 (a 29% increase from the year before). While most of those address change requests were for temporary moves, it’s undeniable that people across the country are evaluating the place they call home like never before. If you’re a fan of Leanne Ford, you’ll […]

We blinked and our sweet little angel is 6 months old. Madelyn has grown up so much in the past month. She’s wiggly and always on the move, rolling around like crazy and trying her hardest to crawl! She’s already able to get up on her knees and push with her feet. My sweet tiny […]

In the final days of a *two year* renovation project, a complete overhaul and relaunch of my signature course, The Blueprint Model, and a big secret I can’t yet share…. Miss Madelyn James turned five months old! She’s an absolute ray of sunshine, sleeps through the crazy construction noise and the complete chaos happening at […]
