Goes to show how on top of things I am. Asa celebrated his first birthday on June 5, 2009. Turning one is quite a milestone in my book and I knew I wanted to commemorate the occasion with a party fit for a one year old (and his friends since he wouldn’t remember any of it). [...]

So what kind of invites do you want to send out? It really depends on the feel of the party. I’m always a big fan of using e-vite (being green!), but I do have to say, there is something about receiving an invitation in person or in the mail that is always a joy.

Wow. 2009 was amazing. It was crazy but beautiful. Asa celebrated his first birthday, Greg and I celebrated our 5 year anniversary, and we enjoyed every trial and joy along the way. We bought our first house in December of ‘08 (missing the tax credit by 20 days! Uggg!), renovated it throughout 2009, and opened [...]

Since I haven’t really kept up my commitment to writing one new post a week, I figured I would do a recap of the last few weeks because they have been super busy. My apologies and I will try and be better in the future.
