Children are back in school, pumpkin flavorings are proudly boasted from coffee shop menus, and each candle you pass has a touch of maple. Fall is on the horizon! I’ve accepted; I think I favor… The post A Sweet (Not Spooky) Halloween Tour appeared first on Chronicles of Frivolity ..read more

While some mothers get the urge to scrub baseboards and wash cabinets, my nesting usually comes in the form of keepsake obsession. It’s probably driven by my own mother, as she impeccably saved it all and then some! Maxi has some of my dresses, Harry has all of my childhood books, and she even kept a calendar from my first year of life that documented what we did EACH day. My children love looking at it! So around the time nausea subsides to half the day, and I can come up for air, I start printing photos like a mad woman and labeling each and every item. I shared my thought process on this d ..read more

Well, hello! Remember me, friends?! Does an apology even start here?! I have never taken such a lapse in posting in eleven years of blogging! You’d think having intense morning sickness twice, I’d be able to handle it. But I was a shell of a human from late fall to February and never really came up for air.

Paul and I always pictured three children, but after Harry’s pregnancy, I didn’t even think of the topic. People would ask if we wanted another, and I about fainted. When an MFM gi ..read more

And you can get creative and t ..read more

We took our family photos a few weeks ago, so I wanted to create a landing page of coordinating outfit options I shared on Instagram in August. This year, we went with a lavender, purple, and denim theme, and I adore how they turned out. Maxi looks about ten years old to me, and Harry, well, he is turning out to be quite a little ham. I have to tell y’all the funniest story- because what family photo session goes perfect?! Our whole family was going to be in boots (hello, Fort Worth), but Maxi had worn her silver boots to a birthday party two days prior. The birthday party had monkeys and a ..read more
