I wrote this song in case I ever need to remind my future self of the best times in my life. Falling is love is easy but, you've gotta work everyday to stay in love. It's easy to forget what it was like in the beginning. I hope I never forget and I hope this song helps you to remember and relive all of your best moments.

Okay! It's up on my website... grab someone to cuddle up with and watch it!

Inspiration: "When We Were Young" Music Video Shoot

Today I suck less at painting my walls.

A couple weekends ago, we filmed a new music video for my next single "When We Were Young". We rented out an adorable and incredibly austiny house on the East side through Air bnb. The house used my favorite color palette. It was filled with aquas, limes, reds, oranges, and my all time favorite color, sea-foam green!

A few days after the shoot, I remembered I had some left over bright aqua paint from Copeland's nursery! Here is the first painting project I completed and a few tips on how to paint without painter's tape.

Copeland's Nursery

 Tip: Outline the edges and then fill in the space.

Fill in with a smaller brush.

 Ta-da! Super cool metal 'P' from Mexico.

Now, I'm on a mission to add more aqua and sea-foam green to our home. What color makes you the happiest?

Copeland's "Up, Up & Away" 1st Birthday Party!

Today I suck less at planning a party.

A few months ago it hit me! My son will be turning the big O-N-E. I wanted to create a very special party for him. I settled on an "Up, Up & Away" theme. We had a great turnout and Copeland was the life of the party. Enjoy some pics from the day!

 Photo booth hot air balloon backdrop for all of the guests to have some fun.

 I made the balloons out of grocery bags, fluff, honeycomb and fishing line.

 My lovely friend, Yana, made this adorable banner for Copeland!

 The spelt cake and cupcakes were deeeelish (see my DIY cake smash post here).

 He REALLY loves blueberries.

 Found this impression idea on Etsy. It made a great guest book!

Fun facts!

 Here is the tutorial I used as a guideline to make the hot air balloons.

 Even our hedgehog, Asterisk, got in on the action!
