Hi Everyone!!!
I’ve had news that I’ve been dying to share but I’ve been waiting for this because I wanted to know all the details! I found out just a week before moving back to KC that I was pregnant. This was in July!!! So we kept it a secret and moved back while struggling with lots of changes. If you don’t already know, I have 3 healthy, handsome boys. I have been praying for a little girl for YEARS. No matter how many times I told myself I was done, I knew my heart wasn’t full. So we decided to try one last time thinking we would be settled in Ohio for the next 3 years. God clearly had other plans for us!


My boys are so fun, happy, and full of life – but I’m definitely out-numbered! Can you tell my youngest, Liam runs the show? He’s my best friend because we spend a lot of time together.

Here’s my husband being silly and making me laugh, as always. I couldn’t do anything without him!


We found out the baby’s gender yesterday – so I finished this card that I’ve been thinking about all week. So glad I can finally share it!!!

This double slider card is so much fun and it’s very easy to make! I thought long and hard about how I wanted to make a card that would be perfect for revealing my personal message – so when I stumbled across a video from Darlene Devries on Pinterest – I knew this is what I was going to do. The left and right panels are revealed simultaneously.




Isn’t that fun!?! It’s such a great keepsake! If you want to see the details on this card, you’ll have to watch my video!
