Before we had Magnolia, Ryan and I had a serious conversation about "baby stuff!" I know it's easy to collect stuff over the years and to end up with overflowing closets and overcrowded basements. I know kids are often showered with toys and gifts, because they're just so darn adorable and everyone wants to spoil them with cute little toys. We take thought in every item that we welcome into our home, and I didn't want that to change once our baby girl arrived. It's important for me to have a well organized home and to only have products in our home that we truly believe in. 

I just recently celebrated my 36th birthday, on Good Friday actually. I woke up to Ry singing me Happy Birthday as our little baby girl laughed at her daddy and cuddled in my arms. We enjoyed a slow morning at home as the day started with gray skies and a thunderstorm. By lunch time the sun had came out and we went to the Country Club Plaza to do a little shopping and have a late lunch. Magnolia was a complete angel and slept in her bassinet off and on throughout the day. I was able to comfortably nurse her in our booth at the restaurant before we left to visit the botanical garden. My birthday was perfect and I feel so grateful to be a new mommy this year. I seriously look up and say "Thank You God" every single day. My husband and daughter are my everything and spending the whole day with the both of them, just enjoying the simple things in life, was really the best birthday ever. I picked out my birthday gift this year and it has seriously made my new mommy life so much easier! I got this purse + diaper bag combo by Fawn Design and this Kate Spade wallet.
