Today we celebrated Rio’s 2nd birthday! He’s our vibrant little parakeet who’s filled our home with joy and chirps. His brother Ollie was right there to enjoy the festivities….These two bring so much life into our days!


Tatum and I made the most of the celebration. We kicked things off with a trip to Kohl’s (because every party queen deserves a wardrobe refresh)

and then came home for a classic game of Life.


Tatum’s toes were ready for some comfy downtime after LOTS OF walking.

The sweetest part of the day? Tatum crafted a homemade bird cake just for Rio, using applesauce, banana, shredded carrot, and bird seed. It was tiny, adorable, and topped with festive candles….just right for our birthday boy.




So much love, so many smiles. These are the simple days I treasure the most.
