We Grow As One: Elkhorn

Elkhorn is a community unique to the Omaha area. There are a number of new build areas of Elkhorn, however, what I love most is the little more historic downtown area that still has the small town charm.

Perhaps on your next trip you'd like to visit Fala's Treasures and Coffee House! They boast hosting over 40 local artists in their store, all of which come together for cohesive decor shopping! This area of town is perfect for finding purposed items, each one unique!

Two Birds Bakery is the cutest little bakery in Elkhorn.  Part of their philosophy is to support their local farmers, which means you are doubly supporting the local community by eating at the local bakery that also supports our local farmers! The only thing I love more than a good cupcake...is a delicious cookie! Try their "Chai Love You" next time you visit!

Ready for some dinner after your dessert (dessert always come first in my book!) in the heart of downtown Elkhorn sits Bella Vita Ristorante. The atmosphere is lovely, and if you sneak a spot by the window you will enjoy some leisurely people watching!

Perhaps BBQ is more your thing? If you're visiting downtown Elkhorn you can't miss Boyd & Charlie's which sits right in the middle of this awesome area!

Do a little gift shopping at This & That & Other Stuff  to find home decor, clothes, jewelry and all sorts of goodies! Need to decorate your home for the holidays? This is a great place to look!

Our favorite part about Downtown Elkhorn? Well as photographers within just a few minutes walking distance, you can find endless beautiful backdrops for photos! We appreciate the old-town charm that Elkhorn has left us, and so do our photo clients!

Why are we highlighting local businesses within the community? Our neighbors, friends and family are all influenced...both directly and indirectly by small business success, and when we come together, we grow as one! First National Bank of Omaha is sponsoring this post, but all thoughts are mine.

Traveling with Kids: Setting them up for successful flight

Each flight we take with our kids, we are often overwhelmed by fellow passengers commenting on how great our children travel. I won't even pretend that it has anything to do with my parenting or my children's innate ability to be good travelers. By no means does that come without a lot of behind the scenes work, thought and preparation. Our children are not naturally good travelers...rather we do everything possible to set them up for a successful (i.e. enjoyable, quiet, and somewhat relaxing) flight.

Do you want a toddler that doesn't make a peep when you travel? How about a baby who doesn't fuss too much? Here are a few of our secrets to setting your children up for a successful flight
It starts before you even book your trip. 
Schedule your flight at a time that works well with your child's sleep schedule. That means no getting in at midnight, no leaving at 5 a.m...and for us we often try to avoid nap time as much as possible (once are kids are down to 1 nap a day…

Things You Learn About The Newborn Phase The Second Time Around

Look, we've all been there. As a first time mom you are totally crazy. You need every little thing imaginable to be able to raise your baby. Your baby has more places to be set down than you have chairs for everyone  else in your house...crib, saucer, bumbo, highchair, rock-n-play, play mat, swing...you get my point.
Now second time around, you might just do things a little differently! Here are a few things I learned my second time around:


My biggest secret? Your baby wakes up less at night the lower you turn down the monitor volume.
Think on that a minute...does that make me a bad mom? No! It means that I'm not waking up at every little thing! And allows Pepper learn to put herself back to sleep on her own after playing/talking a bit.



Don't even bother buying a baby book or it will be filled with "Date baby laughed 3 months?"  Yep..the question mark is actually written in the baby book, because I'm not 100% sure when she laughed. 

You will forget everything tha…

Omaha Performing Arts: WeBop

If you're anything like me, you want to find all kinds of activities for your kids to get involved in as a way to educate, entertain and cultivate their physical and mental growth. For little ones, sometimes that is difficult to find. We've explored swim classes, sports, gymnastics...all great things, but we really wanted to look at something else for Lorelai to experience.



Music is such an important part of a child's life. Personally I believe that my involvement in music at a young age made me more successful and well-rounded! Due to involvement in choir, musicals and band I was able to gain confidence at a young age for public speaking, since I was familiar with standing in front of an audience. I also feel that reading music is such a great skill for children to learn as they grow older, along with familiarity with instruments, and to appreciate the arts. Not only that, music can help a child learn and retain information (example...do you still sing your ABC's in y…
