Sweet Little Niece...

Recently we had the joy of taking portraits of my precious little niece, Abigail. Though 8 months of pregnancy can make a person feel a little awkward and grouchy, I was still able to get some pretty good shots.

These Are a Few of My Favorite Things...

I thought I would update my list of favorite things during pregnancy. Smoothies I heart smoothies, especially ones made by my beloved husband!  For some reason, when I get a hold of that blender it just doesn’t come out right. But Nguyen has a magic touch when I comes to smoothies. So, whenever...

It’s All In A Name...

In anticipation for the arrival of little Ethan, I have planned out many crafty baby projects. I have not accomplished as much as I would have liked, but I have recently completed one that I am really excited about. Nguyen and I have discussed many different ideas for how to display Ethan’s name...

A Growing Baby!...

As you can probably tell by the countdown at the top of the blog, we are getting REALLY close to having a baby! Well, I guess its the closest we have ever been!

Mommy’s First Baby Shower...

YAY! My first baby shower! It was a morning filled with lovely people and lovely baby things! The lovely hostesses had beautiful decorations and WONDERFUL food. Brunch-slash-breakfast food is one of my favorites! Our friends and family have been SO generous with helping us get ready for little Ethan....

Spring Roll Madness...

As some of you know, Vietnamese spring rolls are one of my most favorite dishes. They are super simple and so much fun to eat with other people. It’s what I (and most other people) call a communal meal, one where everyone shares from the main pot. Nguyen introduced this type of eating to me long...

Cousin Togetherness...

We were recently able to share a delightful dining experience of spring rolls with my darling cousin Allison. It was her first time and she did a phenomenal job! Nguyen and I were both impressed. YAY for sharing spring rolls!
