Noah's Benefit 


photo credit: one love photography

Today we want to introduce readers to Amanda and her darling baby boy, Noah, who was born prematurely in August of 2012 due to complications via emergency C-section. This little fighter weighed just 2 pounds 12 ounces at birth and was in the NICU for the first two weeks of his life. When he was able to finally go home, Amanda and her husband Steve were thrilled... but six weeks later, their world was turned upside-down when Noah exhibited some terrifying symptoms. He was rushed to the hospital and doctors discovered that he had Group B Strep Meningitis and, as a result, developed Hydrocephalus. Noah was once again fighting for his life. Since that fateful day, this sweet baby has endured numerous brain surgeries and has a permanent shunt in his brain that removes excess fluid build-up (you follow the entire journey here on the family's website.) Meghan knows Amanda from college, and she wanted to share a little history on their friendship and details on an informational, supportive, inspiring benefit that's being held in Noah's honor....

Guest Post: A Stokke Tripp Trapp Birthday

 

Annabelle's white Tripp Trapp decorated for her first birthday party!

 

I follow my sorority sister Rhea on Instagram, and as our kids are only weeks apart in age and we both own Stokke Tripp Trapps, we often tag one another in our high chair / baby feeding time posts. And after seeing her stunning photos of Annabelle's first birthday party, I reached out to her for a little guest post... I was interested in know why they bought a Tripp Trapp, what they thought about it, and details on how Rhea decorated the chair for Annie's birthday....

Weekend E-Party: Kelly's Kids

 

Have you heard of Kelly's Kids? I hadn't until last week, but apparently the juvenile clothing brand has been around for about thirty years and is notably popular in the southern states. My friend (and sweet neighbor) Rebecca told me all about Kelly's Kids on a park walk last week (our UPS driver thinks our babies are destined to be married on day, ha!) and I checked out their online shop later that day........

Old Friends

 

Don't you love visiting with old friends? Yesterday I got to hang with one of my sweet friends from college. I usually see her when I'm down in Florida, but it's been awhile since we've gotten together. Townes gave her a big smile when he met her. Made my heart melt. Instant friends!
