Happy Birthday to my Firstborn

There are no words to describe what this big (little) fella means to me…what he means to our entire family.  2 years ago today, he became our new little everything. Every day since then he has brightened our days and world with his silly “scrunchy face”, his handsome smile, his shining baby blues and his evolving,vibrant personality. He now keeps us on our toes with his love for the alphabet and counting backwards! What an amazing journey he has taken us on as we’ve learned to embrace the role of parents.  I became a mom because of him.  He is teaching me to be a better person, a better teacher, a better listener.  I am learning to be a better friend to people of all ages, a better wife to my husband and mother to two little boys.  Henry was the start and I will forever be grateful he is in our life.  Like they say, he has us wrapped around his finger and I can’t deny he has me wrapped pretty tightly.

Today on his birthday

Sorry!  No projects today.  This is our Bliss is not just about crafty projects and pretty room reveals.  It is about our everyday life too.  I don’t always share the personal ins and outs of our day-to-day, but my two sons and my husband are my world.  The DIY projects and decorating and RE-decorating are just little hobbies.  Something I can put my stamp on and help to pass the time during their afternoon nap.  I do enjoy sitting…on the couch… in silence… or catching up on my DVR (or my sleep 🙂 ) during naptime too, but there are also days when I like to be busy.  I have always loved making spreadsheets & to-do lists and sometimes I just want to make a big list and take a crack at it!  But above all else, my 3 guys are it for me.  

We are celebrating Henry’s 2nd birthday on Saturday, so I will surely be back next week with a Party recap post, the ever tardy Patio reveal (since it will finally be finished and ready for the party!), our Powder Room refresh reveal and my very first pallet project!  Thank you for stopping by today.

Enjoy your weekend, all!
