Homemaking With Intention

May was a super fun month for our family. Our youngest turned one!! My hubby turned 31!! My love and I got to have a fun date honoring the men and women who have served this country.   Breakfast at Morgan's   Our baby girl turned one. What an amazing year it has been having her in our family. She is a sweet little thing. She likes to think she's bigger then she is. We had a 'Breakfast at Tiffany's' themed party for her. It was so fun! Thanks to all of our family and friend who came out!    The decorations.     The birthday Girl!   Baby Girl with her Great Grandma! My sweet family!        My amazing and talented friend made these cute little boxes as a thank you gift. Inside were candy necklaces for everyone!       The Birthday Boy!   My hubby turned 31!

There is an article that I read the other day called "The B Plus Parent:5 Perfectly Acceptable Reasons to Shout at Your Kids." You can read it here . It talks about why it is ok to be a B+ parent.

My grandfather was a really neat guy. He graduated from West Point. He flew for the Air Force
