♥Leo Edward ♥

June 9th a beautiful soul was brought into the world by two of my best friends. Leo Edward made his debut and we are so in love with him!! I was so very glad to be able to hop on a plane and be there for the journey. It was a week that will forever be impressed on my heart. Those sacred, love-filled hours and moments are a treasure. Seeing these two as parents makes me so insanely happy.  Love you both so much, and THANK YOU for letting me be a part of it all!! I can't wait to watch Leo grow! xoxo

*note: this might just be the longest entry I ever post...but the cuteness is irresistible and I think you'll agree :)

And baby makes 3...Onyango L♥ve

Besides my own kiddos, this photo session was one of THE most special times behind my camera. I have dreamed and prayed and longed to see my sister pregnant. It was not an easy road, but we are all ecstatic for these two!! Spending 5 days in Houston with Dree and Duncan (and Mom!) was memorable to say the least. We laughed a lot. A LOT! Seeing the tenderness and love between these two is so beautiful. I simply could not be happier for them. No doubt they will rock this new parenting gig. Love you to the moon and back ♥♥♥ Can't wait to meet you, baby boy Onyango!! xoxo

Sticky Chinese Chicken

I have been wanting to try this recipe for months. Nope. Make that YEARS. I made this for dinner this week and scored with all four of my hungry munchkins!! They are already asking when I will make it again :) It's a fun twist on chicken that I hope you'll love too! (the green onions are crucial in my opinion!)  We served with Jasmine rice and roasted brussel sprouts and carrots tossed in coconut oil. It's not as pretty as the magazine photo, but oh so yummy!! Enjoy!!
