Meet Our Son // Our Birth Story

We welcomed our sweet baby on August 20th and we have been in our newborn, baby bliss bubble ever since. I finally had the chance to sit down (with baby strapped to me of course) to write out our birth story. This is our third and last (???) baby and my emotions have been all over the place! There is just something so so special about the last. I have cherished every little moment so much more. Maybe it is because I have a good grasp on realistic expectations during the newborn and postpartum phase? Maybe we feel more at ease with sleep schedules? Or maybe it is just the pure fact we know we are in our “lasts”. Whatever it is, this baby has brought me so much peace. Lets get into the birth of our SON (insert crying emoji)!

I wanted my first blog post back to be a powerful one–today I am explaining on why I had such a powerful creature in my maternity photos. Let’s get to it!

Spring Break in Phoenix

Hi Friends!! Long time no see! I apologize for my absence on this page but wow has it been a busy (and blessed!) 2022. So many happenings around here it has been hard to get myself to create some extra time for Vida Noel! We just got back from our Spring Break with the kids. We went to one of our favorite spots; Phoenix, Arizona. It is no surprise that we went there, WE LOVE IT! We have been many times so it is easy for us to pack up and go with the kids. We know the area so well now, it makes travel a breeze! I am rounding up our favorite spots and of course my favorite outfits from the trip! Have you been to Phoenix?
