A day that for so long felt so far out of reach, yet one that will live in our memory as the most special day of our lives. It’s the day we welcomed our daughter into the world and began our new journey as mom and dad! The emotions and experiences of that day are hard to put into words and why it has taken me nearly six months to share our story! There is truly nothing that parallels to giving birth and bringing another life into this world; an indescribable moment that I had to go through...

While my stationer, Lauren of Elle Dee Designs, does beautiful calligraphy I was hoping to master the art of lettering myself.

And, now they can add fragrance & beauty to their repertoire! Yes, this month Vera Bradley is expanding into fragrance. Despite being invisible, perfume, in my opinion, is a women's best accessory!
