Happy Birthday Babe!!

Hi My Loves!!!

 Today is Jay's 32nd Birthday!! I hope you have all gone on over to his Facebook Link! and wished him a Happy Birthday :)

This will be our 6th birthday of his, that we will be spending together. We actually met 4 days before his 26th birthday and we spent it together, as we were inseparable from the first time we met :) 

So here is a little post dedicated to my amazing husband. You are my best friend, the best father to our children that I could ever imagine and my forever soul mate. Thank you for being the best husband in the entire universe and making my life more perfect than I could ever imagine. You have shown me what the meaning of love is and I truly appreciate you each and every second. I love you babe and so do our babies :) 

Here's a little trip down memory lane (and boy have there been some great ones).......

This is our first week of being together. 
LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT :)



Our first place together....


Our first gondola ride together....


We moved to Hawaii together (that was super fun).... Holy crudmoli we were tan!!!


Our pre wedding pictures :)



This was taken a couple of days before our wedding :)


We went to England together..... This is in front of a castle :)


This was us at my Nanny's house in England just being silly. 



This was on my birthday when I was pregnant with Phoenix ;) We went to our favorite restaurant for dinner and it was amazing!



Look at us now.... 2 babies later and happier than ever :) The best thing that ever happened to me was meeting you. You've made me the happiest person alive and I hope I've done the same for you. 


Happy Birthday Babe! We love you so much :)

More love than you can measure,

Sam, Phoenix, Lily and Moo

Tortellini Soup!

Hi My Loves!!!

So while I was at my friends house the other day I had her AMAZING Tortellini Soup for lunch. She was super sweet and said I could share her recipe on my blog so here you guys go. It was one of the yummiest soups ever!



 Add the onion, carrots and garlic to the pot with some olive oil and cook on medium-high until transparent.
 Add the rest of ingredients and bring to a boil and then let simmer for as long as you like (she did it for an hour and a half and it was so delicious)
* When it says (last 10) that means add it in the last 10 minutes before you serve :) 
Sprinkle with some parmesan cheese or cheddar cheese and there you go!

Hope you like it, please let me know if you do make it. It was seriously amazing.

P.S.... how nice is her countertop??? I love it!! Haha..... (that's when you know you are a grown up... when you are jealous of people's counters)

Thanks for reading :)

Christmas Photo Makeup & Outfit!

Hi My Loves!!!

We went and got our Christmas pictures taken last week and it was so fun getting the babies in their little snazzy red outfits. It was also nice to get dressed up myself for once haha.... 

I thought I would film a video of my Christmas Photo makeup for you guys, seeing as Jay was home so he hung out with our little Lily bug and Phoenix was napping. I think I will just start filming when Jay's home, that way I don't have to wait for the perfect moment where they are both asleep at the same time because that is tough to rely on :)

We always like to wear a black top with dark jeans, so that the babies stand out with their red :) I like keeping the same kind of theme, outfit wise, each year so that they all go nicely when they are up on the wall :)

So there you have it. Hope you like my makeup look!

Thanks so much for watching/reading :)

A Little Craftspiration......

Hi My Loves!!!

If you watch our daily vlogs, then you will know that yesterday we went over to my friends house to have a playdate with her 2 kids (Phoenix's girly friend haha).....

WATCH IT HERE:


We had so much fun and I ended up staying there for the entire day! I didn't vlog while I was there but I did snap a few pictures of Phoenix, as well as some of my friends amazing crafts that she has done. She is super crafty and creative and every time we go over, there's a new project up that I love.

Here's Phoenix on one of his favorite toys over there... he just scoots himself around the whole house haha :) Isn't her tree cute?


She made this little Christmas decoration with letters from Hobby Lobby, with scrapbook paper cut to the shape of the letter and then she just used spray adhesive to stick it on. She used a distresser (I think that's what it's called) around the edges to give it that vintage look. I love it!!! So cute!


Here's another super cute idea that she just put up in her office to remind her of birthdays. The ribbons are just stuck on with hot glue and buttons..... so cute!


This is in her daughters bedroom, she just used the buttons for her initial and then put her handprints on to customize it a little more.... so creative!


In her closet she has these cute little boards holding all of her jewelry....



These little fabric Christmas trees are on all of the doors. Each door is a different fabric :)


And here's Phoenix doing what he does best..... Coloring away with his best good friend :)


Hope you got some ideas for crafts to do... every time I go over I'm inspired. Now if I could just stay up late enough to do them haha!!

Thanks for reading!
