I AM THE MOTHER OF A ONE YEAR OLD.

Admitting it in all caps is going to help it sink in, right?! Although I’m not sure how I’m supposed to feel once it does sink in…

I do know this – I’m excited about him turning one and all the adventures and learning and growing it will bring! (Unless any of those adventures/learning/growing involve blood, bugs or bugers).

He had a pretty epic party and I can’t wait to show you pictures from it – Southern Roots Photography always does an amazing job!

For now, I want to help you finish out the summer looking spiffy!

Here are links to two of my articles for Knoxville Families Magazine…

The first is all about how to dress for a kids pool party.

Even if you don’t necessarily have one of those to go to, my hope is that it will help you figure out what to wear for events that could be tricky.

The second is how to help your hair beautifully survive the humidity that has made itself comfortable.

As you will read, I have a black belt in fighting frizz, so learn from my ways, Grasshopper.

I hope you have a wonderful week! I’m looking forward to spending more focused time on the blog now that I have someone’s first birthday party under my belt. :)
