Braids

I've always been obsessed with braids, but it seems they have gotten quite popular lately..... which I love! I've seen so many new/different ones. These I love the most!




just for giggles, here is me with the easy "messy" side braid .... its a must for most moms on the go :)

Celebrating Year One

So this past week my little guy turned one! It's amazing how much can change in a year. My son has brought so much light into mine and my boyfriends life. You truly don't know how much love you are capable of until you have a child. He is my heart on the outside of my chest. I am lucky enough to have spent every single day with him, starting at day one:

 

Now he is a year and I'm getting anxious to have another baby! While still enjoying every moment with Robby. Here are a few pictures from our fun backyard bash we had in honor of Robby turning one:



  Alina, my friends daughter.....if we have any say in it these two will marry one day ;)


so thankful for so many gifts from dear friends and family

he turned into a cheese ball when we started singing to him

i made all of the decorations and food, A LOT OF WORK!

ive known these ladies since high school!


The party was quite the success, everyone had fun listening to oldies and watching the younger kids play. I'm lucky to have a few longtime friends that also have small children. We had a piƱata full of the best Mexican candies and lots of treats/food for everyone! I ran short on time and had very little time to shower. So I had wet hair, no makeup, and the first shirt short combo I could find. Its bittersweet watching him grow, but I know there are plenty of adventures to come!

My boyfriend makes great videos as a hobby and here is one he made in honor of Robby turning one!!

Who is Mother Gnome ....



Hello!! My name is Theresa, I am a twenty something stay at home mom and girlfriend! We have two dogs, a Dachshund named Coconut and a Mini Schnauzer named Dandilion, who we have a love/hate relationship with ;) but mostly love!! I live in the HOT city of Phoenix, Arizona. I've lived here for 10 years now and I do love it!! Although I do complain about the heat from time to time. I was born in Northern California and spent 7 years on a farm there before we moved to Central Arkansas till 2001 when I came here. I am a small town girl to the core but I enjoy the city!! My parents were hippies and I like to think I inherited their "carefree" attitude towards life. My life has changed so much since I meet my love Robert! and especially since our little guy, Robert Jr was born!
