Grace’s parents are in town which means Grace has been hosting all the things from her youngest’s very FIRST birthday to her oldest’s art show. It’s hard to believe Grace has a 1 year old! As with most parties, some things did not go exactly according to plan. A highlight of Sarah’s week was her and her family getting together with some friends that they don’t see all that often and it reminded Sa...

Grace spent some time in the water this past week and got to enjoy holding her scrumptious, sleeping baby boy at the pool, as well as go on a paddle board date with her husband.

Grace came equipped with a few nays this week - one of which being a nay that kind of turned into a yay as her friends rallied around her. To Sarah’s delight, imaginative play has been in full force at her house this week. And her nay might just be the nay of all moms out there - the fact that she does not have a house cleaner. Grace is feeling a bit of an itch to participate in a week long murder...

Red eye flights are likely no longer in her future and, PSA, double check with your...
