February has turned into such an eventful month for our family, especially this year with a quick, random, incredibly fun tip to Nashville, TN this past week! Upon my return yesterday, I dove right into prepping and planning for our boy’s family birthday party (and Cal’s actual 2nd birthday) this Saturday (and a freezer meal…

Every year we receive the most gorgeous Christmas cards and every year it pains me to take them down (or I don’t and they gradually grow forgotten on the side of the fridge, receiving only fleeting recognition).
