  1. Things
  2. I got embarrassed today to the point where I couldn’t even talk about it 🥴 (how bizarre)
  3. I just received the most exciting news (I literally have butterflies🦋) I am not allowed to talk about it publicly , yet + i dont want to jinx anything 🙌🏻 call me cinderella but I never spill it until it happens bc I always feel like then it wont come true (I didn’t even tell people I applied for college or tried out for certain things until I got accepted or made things) people sometimes think wow things fall into shannons lap bc I am really good at hiding the work part and sometimes i fail and I like to keep my failures and my true desires to myself…. + this is ig its my “highlight reel” -right derail and suffer the consequences (anyone else feel that way ? Or is it Just me?)
    .
    anyways i asked dallin if he could snap these pics bc i have so many emotions inside and when I look back on these pics I want to remember exactly how I was feeling (thanks babe 💋)
    🎉🤗🦋🙌🏻🥰+🙀🥺😬🥴

Holland Kate Birds Baptism

By Leave a Comment

Holland is now 8! What! I started Birdalamode.com before I was even pregnant with her and now she is making big girl decisions and growing up into a beautiful person inside and out.

I had such a special experience with Holland on her baptism day. We woke up to a hot air balloon randomly dropping in our backyard. (a gift from the heavens)

I got her all ready in her beautiful dress, when we were heading up to the church we pulled over and took these pretty pictures of her.

Her baptism was full of loved ones both family and friends. The program was beautiful. Both grandpas spoke to her and her cousin Ava sang a beautiful song

Dallin baptized Holland and I was able to spend some special one on one time immediatly after she was baptized getting her reready. She was all the dunked. She had such an elegant calmness and confidence and was so sure that this was what she wanted to do. For the first time I felt her spirit, her person not a as a little child but almost like a young adult, a peer, she seemed wise and mature.

Holland is a leader and a special girl and I feel like a big reason Heavenly Father sent her to me is to help me to be a better person. I admire so much about Holland her unwaivering faith and her ability to always speak her truth she isn’t afraid of others opinions or being unpopular. She just does what is right. I love you so much Holland and am so thankful to be your mother.

*this is the song that her cousin sang at her baptism

Ash Blonde

I think this my favorite hair color yet. I love the brite money piece around my face and the depth between the ash blonde and brite blonde.

A few pictures of my kids and I at their piano recital. Look how big they are getting! I say this at every stage but this is my favorite. I just love being their mom and all the fun we have together as a family.

Walgreens Babyganics® Sun & Bug for my Little Loves

This post is sponsored by Babyganics® but all opinions & images are my own.

Fun in the sun with the little ones. The seasons are changing and the weather is warming up, which means more bugs and more sun. I have fair children and am very selective when it comes to what I put on their skin. I help protect my kids with Babyganics products from Walgreens.

Ready for fun under the sun? After a long winter, my baby is ready to have some fun in the sun, but not without our tried and true Babyganics Sunscreen. Babyganics allows your kids to explore the big, bright world out there while staying protected.

The sun is harsh, but your sunscreen doesn’t have to be, especially not for your sweet babies, which is why I buy my babies Babyganics Sunscreen. Babyganics Sunscreen begins with a natural, not chemical, mineral base. It’s super easy to determine that Babyganics is a great choice! They put a list of Yes’s and No’s right on the front of the label, taking the guesswork out of shopping for your little ones.

We love our backyard river, and just being outside. But every summer we’re prone to get more than a fair share of bug bites. Now that it is warming up, my daughter is always begging to go play outside but I can’t stand seeing her get eaten up. I needed to find something gentle for baby but tough enough to work on mosquitos. We’ve used Babyganics sunscreen for a while and loved it, so we went ahead and got Babyganics natural insect repellent. And loved that we are not experiencing any bug bites!

Babyganics natural insect repellent is DEET free. I am glad to not have to worry about poisoning my infant/children with the chemicals that are used in other bug sprays.

Babyganics natural insect repellent has a pleasant calming scent which helps my baby sleep soundly outside for naps while keeping her mosquito free. We also spray some on her whenever we are in the yard to keep the bugs in the grass away. The scent is a typical citronella smell, but it is not overbearing. The blend is pungent to mosquitoes, smells great and is good for the whole family. We’ve got the mosquitoes covered. We have had no bad reactions or irritants. I also spray down my children’s outdoor play place with this to keep bugs off and works great! Regardless of the outdoor activity, Babyganics is non-allergenic, tear-free and tough enough for every adventure.

You can find them in-store or online at Walgreens!

I Built This

No one who is doing more than you, will ever try to tear you down… remember this!

A.Y.B
A.re Y.ou B.uilding

When I was young, my teacher pulled my group of friends aside and gave us “a spider man” speach – the whole with great power comes great responsibility, but in differnet words.

She said A.Y.B.

Are You Building?

She said everyone has the power to build and we all have power to tear down.
I’ve never forgotten this. And I can honestly say the view is always better from the top of a building.
