This blog was formerly known as "Journey to Parenthood" and was started in 2008 when we decided to do IVF after 5 1/2 years of infertility. Well three years and a miracle baby later--here we are! I have updated the name and layout to represent our new life ahead. Follow along as we start traditions, build memories, and travel this beautiful world ♥

Latest Projects

Here is something I know I will cherish for a long time! You have heard of people "bronzing" their baby's first shoe? Well this is a take on that I had seen on the internet awhile back. It is a shadow box with different sizes of shoes that Brad has worn:


All of the regular shadow boxes with glass were not deep enough to accommodate the shoes so I had to get creative! I got an unfinished wood frame and painted it. Then I cut out a piece of stiff cardboard for the backing. I cut a piece of scrapbook paper to fit the inside then glued it to the cardboard. Then I glued the whole back piece to the frame and used stickers for his name. I stuff the shoes with some paper for shape, then glued them to the backing and wrote his ages with marker!


Here are the embroidered bibs I have been working on for a coworker! They will be added to my craft website for examples:




That's about it for now! My brother's birthday is Monday, and our anniversary is Tuesday so we will be busy the next few days!
