  • Happy 2nd Birthday, Emmett!

    Emmett’s Cream and Peach Plaid Jumpsuit | Emmett’s Blue Birthday Dress | Emmett’s Nikes RAISING KIDS IS BITTERSWEET WACKADOO, EMMETT IS 2!! This weekend we got to celebrate our sweet baby girl, Emmett June, with a Bluey birthday party! *cue mixed emotions* I’m so happy to celebrate her. That’s obvious – especially since she grew from a helpless newborn to wannabe-independent toddler before my eyes. I’ve been there for the firsts – crawling, standing, squatting, standing followed by squatting followed by standing, walking, jibber-jabbering, running, talking and so many more. Watching a child grow is an amazing thing and the biggest blessing I’ve experienced. On the other hand though, this…

  • Weekend Getaway in Round Top, TX

    WHAT I PACKED Hi, y’all! A couple weekends ago Bryan and I drove to Round Top, TX for a much needed weekend getaway. I won a 2-night stay for myself and a guest from a giveaway hosted by Katy Moms’ Network and The Frenchie… back in NOVEMBER! Y’all, I was so damn excited and knew that my future self would need this 😉 We took the scenic drive and loved it. There are a few small towns, a ton of ranches and lots of animals in between here and there. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND the scenic route if you’re not on a time crunch! WHERE WE STAYED We pulled into the…

  • Weekend Roundup: One Last Christmas, Our Menu + Things I’m Loving

    Hi y’all, Well, we’re only 11 days into 2021 and things are already tense in the nation. I’m praying that our leaders and neighbors are able to find peace sooner than later and stop tearing each other apart. Tonight I’m reading and basing my prayers from these Bible verses: 2 Chronicles 7:14 – praying for humility 1 Timothy 2:1-5 – praying for our nation’s people Romans 13:1 – praying that we seek God’s authority first Proverbs 14:34 – praying to seek righteousness Ephesians 4:31-32 – praying that we rid anger and wickedness My walk with Christ hasn’t been a long one but every day I work to get a little…

  • Weekend Roundup: Bowling with Toddlers + Things I’m Eyeing

    Hi y’all! Hope you had a great weekend and all of your Christmas errands are done. That might be wishful thinking though 😆 I still have to wrap allll the things so I’ll be up late a couple nights this week doing that 🙃 Yesterday we hung out at home, introduced Emmett to the Grinch (she is in loooove with the animated one! I recorded it on Hulu) and went bowling with family. Y’ALL. Bowling with toddlers is a nuthouse lol! They were running every direction, crawling in front of people trying to bowl, jumping on the benches… basically, they were a circus all on their own #LordHelpUs Here are…

  • Monday Mingle: Weekend Recap + Two Nursing-Friendly Sweaters

    Hi, y’all! Hope you had a great weekend and your Monday is going well! I just finished catching up with a sorority sister that came to meet little Kaiser. Gosh, I miss regular socializing. We both talked about how we felt like terrible friends because we literally hadn’t hung out… or even talked… all year. BUT that’s 2020 for ya and something most people can relate to. I think?! This weekend was special because we got to meet the kids’ baby girl cousin, Rose Emersyn! I couldn’t believe the difference between 6-week-old Kaiser and 4-day-old Rose. Talk about bittersweet! I’m so excited to see Kaiser meet all of his milestones…

    Kaiser’s Newborn Photos + Postpartum Must-Haves

    Hi, y’all! We’ve officially had Kaiser home for over a month and talk about a whirlwind. There have been so many transitions, memories mad and photos taken (🤣 I can’t even tell you how many I have of him sleeping). Here’s how the Kaase fam has been adjusting, postpartum items that saved me and Kaiser’s newborn photos! Adjusting to Two Everyone’s roles have changed and that change comes with joy, stress and love all bundled up together. Emmett has done a pretty good job taking on the big sister role! My favorite moments by far are when she’s helping me take care of him. She sprints to me anytime she…

    Baby Kaiser’s Birth Story + Tips for Mothering 2 Under 2!

    Hi, y’all! Kaiser has been home just over a week and he has been an absolute DREAM. He’s pretty much on a rotating schedule of sleeping, feeding, pooping and repeat! Today I’m here to share baby Kai’s birth story along with some tips y’all gave me for adjusting to mothering 2 🖤 Kaiser’s Birth Story I scheduled an induction mainly because Emmett was born a BIG baby – 9 lbs. 9 oz. when I was 40 weeks! So, this induction was scheduled for 39 weeks in hopes that he might be a little bit smaller (lol joke was on me – he was over 9 pounds too). Another reason we…
