Best Month Of My Life

I cannot believe it has been one month since Emily was born.


Some mornings I wake up after only a few hours of sleep and am grumpy then all it takes is a quick look at her to realize it is all worth it. I am normally a high strung person who is always on the go but when it is 3am and it is just her and I sitting in silence, I truly enjoy every second of that bonding experience. I LOVE being a mother!! What a learning experience though.

I am so excited for the next many months to come and to continue to enjoy every second of this bundle of joy <3

Love My Life 1

It has been a little over 2 weeks since we were blessed with Emily Grace. Time sure does fly. Emily has already taught me so much.

I thought I would start a weekly post on the 5 things I have learned each week :)

1. Just glancing at little Emily makes everything perfect
2. Nothing is better than a simple smile
3. Patience is a virtue
4. Sleep...you really don't need that much
5. Support from an amazing husband means so much

Featured Vendor - Libbie & Winston

This week's featured vendor is the AMAZING Libbie & Winston, who make the MOST adorable custom onsies, t-shirts, wall-art & more!! Perfect gift for a new mom, baby shower, etc. Definitely check out the NEW Libbie and Winson Etsy shop :)

Here are a few of my favorites:



Q&A with Anna:

What motivated you to start Libbie Winston?

It really all started before I even knew I was pregnant! I was trying to find a way to tell my husband that I was pregnant {even though I wasn't yet} and decided I would use our dogs, Libbie and Winston, to tell him. I made "big brother/sister" shirts for the dogs with an iron-on transfer. Once I did actually find out I was pregnant, I couldn't keep the secret long enough from my husband to even put the shirts on the dogs, so we decided to use the shirts as a way to tell our parents. We took a cute picture of the dogs in the shirts, made a card on kodak and mailed it to them to announce my pregnancy. Fast-forward 9 months...I had also seen the 1-12 month stickers and wanted a way to document my baby's growth in the first year. I decided to make her onesies the same way I made the dog shirts, a few facebook posts and friend requests later, Libbie & Winston was born! Over the past few months the business has grown from just onesies, to kids shirts, wall art and more!

What exactly does Libbie Winston entail?

Libbie and Winston is about fun, customizable tees for babies and kids. Our 1-12 month onesie sets are the PERFECT baby shower gift! For our photo obsessed generation {me included!}, this set is such a fun way to document your baby's first year! The kids tees are great for birthdays, playdates, special moments, picture announcements - you get the idea - the possibilities are endless! Tees and onesies can be customized to suit you. Choose from any designs shown on facebook or email me if you have something else in mind. We also offer birth announcement wall hangings - a fun graphic piece to add to your child's nursery. Our "shhh" door tags {the newest item in the line} are the perfect way to keep the pesky delivery guys from waking your sleeping baby!


What advice do you give to other entrepreneurs?

Follow your dreams - as cliche as it sounds...it's so true!
What are 3 things people don't know about you?

I actually have my master's in interior design - but am a self-taught graphic designer. I'm a complete neat-freak and CANNOT stand clutter! I'm a reality TV junkie {love anything housewives or bachelorette}!
Follow your dreams - as cliche as it sounds...it's so true!
