What's in a Name?


Happy Monday, all!

Aside from the everyday usuals of household/mama-life duties, attempting to walk more often, and the like, I'm prepping for a beloved little boy's FIRST birthday party at the end of the month.

I'm BEYOND excited!  Themed parties are so much fun, and I've decided to do a DINO theme, y'all.  It's gonna be ADORBSSSSS.  I plan to share photos, of course.

How goes your August, friend?  :]

  1. OH MY GRACIOUS I LOOOOOVE THIS SET OF NAMES. Kase and Tallaney especially. Those. Are. So. Great. :O *rushes to write them down* I literally may have to use Tallaney for my next novel. It's so fun! I've also ALWAYS adored the name Charity. That's one I've on multiple occasions considered naming a character. It'll probably actually happen one day! Haha.

    I can't believe your little boy is turning A YEAR OLD. :O SO PRECIOUS. Happy almost birthday to him! <333 You will definitely have to share pics of the decorations. I just know it's going to look amazing!

  2. Ooh, I'm definitely going to have to save Tallaney and Kase for future characters! I LOVE those.

    A dino-themed party sound so much fun!

To each is given a bag of tools,
A shapeless mass, and a book of rules,
And each must make, ere life is flown,
A stumbling block or a stepping stone.
