Love this!  Via Pinterest . ps...you can follow me on Pinterest here .  I update it much more often than my blog because it's a quick and fun study break.  If you guys haven't joined...you definitely should.  :)

Opinions on these phone cases?  Mine has finally kicked it (after dropping it about 50 times).  These are all from Society 6 .  That last one, it's just for fun.  :) I should be studying.  I've completed one of eight tests so far.  Apparently 1/8 makes me feel done.  Oh, I am so tired of school at the moment...

I put up this photo wall after we got married so we could add and add to it as time went on and our family expanded.  It's fun every once in a while to add more.  Or switch out a few. I can't wait until we have a larger house with a bigger ...my dream is to have a one of those huge gallery that encompasses everyone we love in one spot...immediate and extended families, our sweet friends, family mementos, etc.

Here's a Valentine Eloise made for us at daycare. It's pretty precious and apparently she really enjoyed making it (and other crafts!). Melts my heart.

And part two... more of the photos taken by Joyce (seriously, she took each set of in about 5 minutes literally while the party was going on.  Joyce, you rock. :).  I can't believe how much she's changed since the last time !  I love all the faces Eloise kept making.  And the fact that she was really excited by everything...she seriously loved that balloon .

Here are some more photos of Eloise's first birthday party!  We had so much fun celebrating and it was exciting to see her enjoy the festivities!  I still can't believe over a year has already passed since she was born .  For the party, I decided not to go with a theme, but basically to stick to "pink and shimmer" so I could have room to improvise if needed.  My mom did almost all of the food and drinks, making it pretty low stress and fun, especially on the day of.  :)  Thanks to Joyce for capturing the day!  All sources used are at the end of the post!   Invitations: Block Children's Party from Minted in Raspberry and white Ice Cream Tutu Dress:   Mudpie from Brea's Boutique Baby Crown:  Made by my aunt ( inspiration here , pattern here ) Pink Shoes: Pickles light pink Convertible Cupcake Bib: Rosalina Ruffle Cake Directions: Martha Stewart Tinsel Cupc
