The sweetest girl in the whole world just had her first birthday. I am honestly still a bit stunned that she is a year old. That whole third-child thing? It’s real. Time is legit zooming by way faster than it did with Jake or Caitlin. Back when I was 42 weeks pregnant with a baby […]
It has been a long while since I’ve written about a birthday party on Savored Grace. But my beautiful, vibrant daughter Caitlin turned 4 (!), and I can’t wait to share her art party with you! Dearest Caitlin, I know how you hate to have anyone say anything special about you. (Words of affection are not […]
How in the world did my son turn 5? It’s not like the days or years have felt short; I honestly can’t even remember (because it seems so long ago) what my life was before this kid made me a mom. It’s just that I remember so clearly thinking he would be small forever. That […]
One month ago, my darling baby Caitlin turned 2! Of course, if you ask her how old she is, she says, “Cake!” Caitlin is a sweet and determined little girl. She always knows what she wants and what she doesn’t! It has been so fun watching her learn over this past year: just when I […]
Somehow a whole year has flown by, and my baby girl turned 1! In some ways, it doesn’t even seem real: she still has no teeth and she’s not walking on her own quite yet. Although she loves to enthusiastically yell, “Hi!” on the phone, she still seems to think blowing raspberries is the best […]
I like to call people up on their birthdays and sing to them. So someone call me up and croon a little tune, because this blog is FIVE YEARS OLD! And I just can’t believe it. Naturally, to mark the occasion, I baked a cake. Because what good is a birthday celebration without cake? Happy birthday […]
I have noticed a change in myself recently. The longer I do this blogging thing, the more I bake and cook and try new things, the less I am daunted by recipes that have many steps or seem like they may take a while. I am no longer irritated by sifting. I expect to leave […]
My son is smart and wily and creative. He is thoughtful and determined and energetic. And he is 3 years old! This year for Jake’s birthday, I really wanted to keep it simple. I wanted to spend less time worrying and preparing, and more time marveling at how my tiny baby turned into this enormous, […]
Life has just gotten more beautiful! Our new little daughter, Caitlin, is such a charmer. She is definitely keeping us on our toes, but every time she flashes that ear-to-ear smile (yes, I know it’s a reflex, but it’s just so cute!) she melts our hearts. Life as a family of four has been very […]
It happened. My baby turned 2! I am still not sure how this is possible, but every day he is chatting incessantly and singing songs and creating new things and just delighting us. (What a big difference from what he was doing two years ago!) For example, this morning, he wanted to play with play-doh, […]
