Happy Friday lovelies!
One of my closest friends and the pretty lady behind, Colette Waters Photography, recently styled and shot a beautiful orchard wedding. And I was lucky enough to be able to design the invitations for it.
Here are a few amazing photos from the shoot.

Have a wonderful weekend! xo, Britt
Yesterday was a little gloomy but we didn't let it stop us. We packed up our double stroller, bundled up the kiddos, and headed to the Kansas City Zoo.
A few of the animals weren't out because it was chilly but we got to see most of our favorites. Plus there was barely anyone there so we didn't have to fight crowds to stand in line for the train or tram.
Noah was only six months old the last time we were at the zoo and didn't really know what was going on when we were there so this time around he had so much fun! He could see all of the animals this time and he loved it.
The weather wasn't the best but we still made a fun day out of it. Happy Tuesday! xoxo, Britt + Sky
To help get you through your afternoon and to the weekend, we thought we'd share some photos from our recent trip to the Fun Farm Pumpkin Patch in Kearney, Missouri! The funny thing is that there are no photos of pumpkins at all because there were so many other fun things to do there 😂.
Happy Friday! xoxo, Britt + Sky
I want to be able to do all. I want to spend time with my kids, have a clean house, actually get to shower every morning, or get a blog post up on time. But I didn't start learning until being a work-at-home mom of two under two that it is impossible to do it all.
I saw a quote recently that said, "You can do anything, but not everything." That really hit me hard. When you step back and look at all you want to be able to do, and know that you have to choose, it really helps you to prioritize.
Laying and talking with Sophie is way more important to me than those dishes that are piled up in the sink. Showering daily is so overrated 😂. Snuggling up and watching Peppa Pig with Noah is more important to me than the laundry.
Don't get me wrong. I know that as adults we have responsibilities. I know at some point I have to do laundry or we will all be naked 😑. And doing dishes is a necessity. But we just shouldn't get down on ourselves when we make something else a priority day to day.
I am terrible about being really hard on myself daily. I have been working on being nicer to myself and just trying to remember that I can do anything but not everything.
I got house straightened up last night after the little ones went to bed so today you'll find me snuggling 😍.

It took like two seconds after Noah was born for mom guilt to set in. It is so silly but like everything's made me feel so bad. Like if I had to go home and leave him in the NICU. Or if I forgot what time he had eaten and he went thirty minutes past his scheduled time. I basically acted as though it was the end of the world.
Then we add baby two. Oh yeah I'd say it's worse but in a different way. I am always feeling guilt about how much attention I give each little one. And the guilt I feel if I nap while they are both napping instead of cleaning our house, which is a disaster by the way, is horrendous.
Then there is the number of times I have to get on Noah during the day. I feel like I say NO about three hundred times a day. I am constantly having to tell him to get out of something. To close the door. To be gentle with Sophie. To stop using, fill in the blank, as a weapon. I am on repeat everyday. I hate that I am constantly having to get on to him.
So I decided that we were going to start going on weekly adventures. Somewhere that Noah could run like a crazy man. Pick whatever up that he wants to. All without me having to say anything. Last week we went to Watkins Mill. Sophie was in the stroller and Noah ran free. As we walked around the trail together he played in the leaves. He picked up rocks and acorns and leaves.
We had so much fun. It was nice to give him some freedom and for me to have a break from saying his name over and over and over. I think it will be a good thing to do once a week for us both to get a break.
Happy Wednesday! xo, Britt
Cue the cute photos 😁
