Hot coffee + leftover birthday cake for breakfast, is there anything better? I don't think so!

Hello friends. I'm back for the second part of our Summer Adventures post. We didn't go on any trips this summer, but we still made our hometown of Kansas City a place to explore. And on the days that we stayed home, we had cupcake parties (kind of like a tea party, but with cupcakes instead), tutus & Alexa made for the most fun dance parties (Get Up Dance by Blanco Brown, we're getting pretty good at it), and Magnolia is the sweetest mommy to all her baby dolls (heart melting adorable).

This summer, compared to last summer, WOW, it is just so incredibly different. Magnolia & I never stop going & doing & the blog has definitely taken a back seat. Before I'm posting our Autumn Bucket List I just have to share a little bit of what we've been up to this summer. It's crazy how much our baby girl has grown. We were all on the back deck under the twinkle lights last night, and I was showing Ryan videos from last summer of Magnolia & Valentine together. Night & day! Magnolia was stumbling around as she walked & Valentine was smaller than her. Now we have the car seat facing forward, she doesn't ride in the grocery cart, she picks out her own outfit each day, & the list goes on...

When I was pregnant with Magnolia I noticed very early on that she enjoyed music. I can vividly remember during my second trimester telling Ryan that she would wiggle around & dance to music! The in utero dance parties got even crazier by third trimester. It was wild. I was positive that she would come out with a strong appreciation for music, and she sure did.
