Charlotte's Two Year Photos


We visit my husband's family in the Texas Hill Country every Easter and the wildflowers down there are absolutely gorgeous! Last year we took some sweet photos of our daughter in Gruene, Texas and we loved them so much that we decided to take similar ones this year too.

Here are just a few --
















Charlotte's two favorite things are flowers and getting her photo taken, so that made this little photoshoot a breeze! Texas wildflower season is so stunning and I'm so glad that I got these shots!

Charlotte's First Birthday Party - a year late!

Introductory posts are so awkward. I meant to start blogging ages ago and I never fully took the leap. I might as well just get started!
I am a 25 year old housewife and mother-of-one residing in Texas. I love family, flowers, parties and other beautiful things.
My daughter's name is Charlotte Eleanor and today was her second birthday! Her birthday party going to happen a little late this year since we will be moving soon, so here's a little throwback of her first birthday party.


We didn't really have a theme, we just went with a outdoor floral look! Her little dress was TUTU DU MONDE and I made the paper flowers myself. Here is a similar tutorial (http://www.stylemepretty.com/2014/02/12/diy-flower-wall-bridesmaids-party/) -- however I used a small paper plate to glue the petals onto. I found that it brought more stability to the flowers, made them easier to hang/glue up, and it also helped keep the hot glue off of my fingers!



Her little favors were pairs of gardening gloves and floral bulbs. People seemed to really love them!










We had such a wonderful time and I cannot wait to plan and craft for her 2nd birthday party later this year!
