I’m back with another Mother’s Day gift guide! Mother’s Day is literally just around the corner… I feel like the year is going by so fast it’s crazy! I’ve come up with a ton of great gift ideas this year. There is definitely a gift here for every type of mom and budget! The best part is that all of these presents are from Amazon and most of them are eligible for Prime, which means they’ll arrive at your house in only 2 days! It’s a total life saver sometimes.

I have been wanting to write this blog post for so long! I have been Indio’s mommy for a year now (check out this blog post to see Indio’s first year) and I have learned SO much about being a dog mommy. I’ve rounded my absolute must haves for a new puppy in this blog post. Everything is from Amazon so you can easily order and have it shipped to your door. What’s not to love? 😉

I can’t believe it’s been almost a year that Indio has been in our lives! We adopted Indio from Forevergreen Farm Labradoodles when he was 2 months old. He was my dream puppy and has made me the happiest dog mom (besides a little naughtiness ;P). I wanted to celebrate his first birthday by sharing some photos of him throughout the year. It’s crazy to see how much hew grew every month!

I can’t believe it’s been a month since our big move across the country to Nashville! In some ways it seems like its been longer than that, but it also seems like the time has flown by. We are absolutely loving Music City so far and I can’t wait to continue exploring the area! The main reason Schyler and I decided to move from Portland to Nashville was so that we could start saving for a home. The cost of living in general and the cost of homes is much less expensive here so we will be able to buy a home much sooner then we would have back in the PNW. I would love to start a family within the next few years and I can’t wait to start the next chapter of our life!

My sister and I visited Las Vegas for Intersect Festival this past December and while we were there I thought it would be fun to shoot some Valentine’s themed photos for my Instagram! There are so many cute, vintage chapels, clubs, and motels in the Fremont area of Vegas. This is the area that used to be the main strip before the new strip was built! There were tons of great photo spots in this area.

There is a lot of emphasis on gifts for women around Valentine’s Day, but the men in our lives (including fathers and friends) deserve a little something too! I thought my valentine of six years deserved something a little special this year, so I gifted him an exquisite assortment of Ferrero Golden Gallery Signature chocolates. I don’t think anyone loves chocolate more than Schyler and I, and Ferrero has always been one of our favorites so naturally it was the perfect choice!

I’m so excited to announce that we are MOVING TO NASHVILLE! Schyler and I have lived in Portland, OR for about 4 years, two of which my sister Rocio lived with us. Recently, she moved to Los Angeles to pursue her dream of becoming an actress! We had been going back and forth for awhile now on whether or not we should stay in Portland or if we should move. Portland is such a cool city and there is so much we love about it but unfortunately for us, the cons outweighed the pros.

I couldn’t resist capturing some fun photos of my labradoodle puppy Indio’s first Christmas!

We had so much fun shooting these photos and I think they turned out so cute so I wanted to share them with you guys! 😀
