A "Mary" Christmas
The Christmas season is such a special time of year. Since the start of my little family back in 2015, Christmas has gained a deeper meaning for me. Although, we primarily focus on Jesus and Mary during this time of year I always felt for Joseph. Here is a man watching his betrothed grow this beautiful, special child of God inside her womb. He assumes the role and title of "father" and helps raise the child, Jesus the Christ, although he did not partake in the creation of Him

One Month Baby
I've been a mama for one month to the most precious child I've ever laid eyes on, my little man, Samson Wilder. Since becoming a parent I fully understand what it means when people say "time fly by". It feels like just yesterday I was headed to the hospital and brought Samson into this world. Since that day I often wish I could go back to that moment in time and do it all over again. Since September 29th there have been many sleepless nights, endless amounts of diaper changes


Samson's Birth Story
On September 28th, 2017 I was 39 weeks pregnant to the day. That was the day I went into labor with our beautiful baby boy. I didn't have a birth plan, or doula- I didn't want all of that. If anyone knows me I worry a lot. I stress over things that haven't even happened or possibly won't happen. That is just my nature, and I am working on it. So, for this huge event that I clearly had no control over I chose to let go and let God. My plan was to trust my body, the doctors, an


Enander Family Session: Asbury Park
A Jersey summer isn't complete until you hit the shore, enjoy the boardwalk, and dip your toes into the cool sea water. When Jessie told me she wanted to do a fun family shoot at Asbury Park in late August I was sold! I immediately marked her on the calendar and eagerly waited for the day to come. Can you blame me?! I mean...look at how adorable this family is! Asbury Park is such a fun place to shoot. There are so many colorful murals, people, and restaurants. Everywhere yo


Maternity Pictures + 34 Week Bumpdate
Time is certainly starting to fly by. I cannot believe in just 6 short weeks Baby B will be with us Earth bound. Everyday he is moving more and I am cherishing every single minute of it. Whenever he adjusts himself I can't help but smile and ask him if that's a better spot, ha. I still love to eat breakfast foods and Japanese food. My most recent craving is maple and brown sugar oatmeal with honey, mmm. But sadly my appetite has gone back down like it was pre-pregnancy, ha. I


Quiet Mornings
Lately, I find myself waking up early and looking out my bedroom window. I wake up to the slow rising sun peeking through the blinds accompanied by the sweet summer whispers of critters outside. I feel Baby B move around my tummy from left to right trying to find a comfy new spot. I try to find him by placing my hand where I think he is. I close my eyes embracing Baby B the only physical way I can and wonder what he will feel like in my arms. I can't help but smile in knowin


Millennial Mama
A couple weeks ago one of my favorite bloggers', XO Mrs Measom, posted an entry about being a millennial this day and age. If you haven't read it yet please do so. She is amazing! Now, on her blog post she wrote about her dreams, and desires- as well as her reality as a millennial. Let me just say: It. Was. Inspiring... and just the push I needed. Now, push for what you may ask? Well you see social media is powerful. It can be used for good to help others or it can help us pl


Gabi's Bridal Shower
This past Saturday we celebrated Gabi's final days of being a Miss before becoming a Mrs! From the very beginning I knew I wanted to make the theme of her shower: Parisian. She has always loved the French culture and took French in high school, so what better way than bringing a bit of Paris to her. :) Below are more pictures from that day! As the guests made their way to the hall there was a table with a tip jar for the newlyweds. I found the printables here. It was so wonde


Bermuda: Part 1
This year for our 2nd anniversary (and 1st baby moon) we decided to go to BERMUDA! Once Tim and I found out we were expecting the first thing we did was search for places that were Zika-free. Luckily, Bermuda is only a 2 hour flight from JFK, and great place for expecting mama's to go and relax! While in Bermuda there were hardly, if any, flies or mosquitos on the island making the vacation truly enjoyable. Here are some snapshots that were taken in Bermuda! I took so many pi
