been out of the commercial game for a minute but today me and little bud accompanied dada to our first family audition for a GAP casting 🤞🏼 this little man was, of course, out of control cute for camera. 😍 oh hollywood.
how much is that little boy in the window? #psych #notforsale
the best sunshine on this rainy valentine’s day
pretty good for a beginner! I started teaching myself last week after years and years of [guilty pleasure] watching cookie decorating videos on gram. excited to keep practicing, learning so much along the way. the recipe is @sweetsugarbelle and the sugar lips cutter is via my fave cookier @hol_fox 💕
sawyer definitely got his creativity and gift wrapping skills from me 💪🏼 #gangsterwrapper
happiest of birthdays to this super hot stud muffin of a dada who I hope my son turns out just like! while i know you hope he inherits your insane athletic abilities in every single sport, (side note: y’all this man is planning to put my son in all the sports he excelled in as a child: basketball, baseball, soccer and karate) I hope you pass down all my favorite qualities about you: your patience, your bod (wait- that’s not a quality) your warm energy and kind demeanor when someone first meets you - you never meet a stranger, your integrity proceeds you, you are so thoughtful when it comes to gift-giving, you are so helpful and giving of your time (I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard you’re one of the nicest people everyone has met) you have a way of making people laugh, but overall you have the biggest heart of anyone I know, so basically you are the best example one could ever have as a papa! I’m in awe of you, and lucky me to be near such a dear person. you are so loved. happy birthday loverboy ❤️
you are everything. my number one sidekick. running all the errands and drinking all the smoothies. i live to smooch the cheeks. #thedaysofsawyerhays are oh so sweet
one year today post-op for this little angel,  who was one month and one day old when he had his cleft craniofacial surgery.  this diagnosis caused us a lot of distress for the majority of my pregnancy, but looking back at the entire process of correction and healing for this strong little boy, it seemingly went by so quick.  i had no idea how I would feel about his birth defect when he was born (so much in addition to all other new feelings on becoming a mom) but the night before his surgery, I remember crying because I just loved his little face so much, and I knew after tomorrow it would be forever different.  and now, reflecting on everything one year later, I wouldn’t change anything about this journey and the honor of raising this blessed little boy was bestowed upon me and Jake and i don’t take any of that for granted every single day. #cleftstrong
z e r o filter on this amazing first family hike at sunset 💕 could not stop thinking bout the wonder of it all and especially through the eyes of a 1 year old boy on his mama’s back, so thankful that mama is ME!

eventually I’ll get around to a blog post with all the fun and creative details behind sawyer’s johnny cash first birthday bash but wanted to thank monika of @owlpapergoods for hand creating this perfect stamp of sawyer’s sweet face and bringing his invitation to life! she’s an amazing artist y’all - so easy and fun to work with and such a creative! Hop over to her page and check out her insane work🖤
this screengrab just cracks me up. 
so blessed B E Y O N D to do work along side this funny guy for the past 7 years. we have been beyond blessed by the support of our community and the opportunity to create content that is thoughtful, educational, and fun. this 8th year of @feastoffiction will by far be one for the BOOKS as one of my legit dreams come true is finally coming to fruition. THE REAL BREAKING NEWS: we are officially locked and loaded with our publisher on the creation of our (first) cookbook! ❤️ freaking still beyond surreal. 2019 is truly starting off on the right page. Who wants to come to the bookstore with me in April 2020? (don’t mind me- I’ll be the one balling my eyes out of joy and excitement, probably chugging champs.) so who’s in...you? cool. bring the tissues! I’ll bring the bubbly. 🥂
so beyond obsessed with this guy and everything that encompasses being his mom.  closing out the year in celebration of this little being who taught me so much this year about myself.  I believe this little guy is the keeper of many life lessons and it’s just the beginning. 2018, you were a goodie.  this year was the O N E.
just doing as I normally do while in the ATX....peeping new coffee shop/sipping new vanilla lattes 🤤 time well spent.
so much love in my heart for this day. [more on that later] 
and these cookies. 
sawyer’s johnny cash bash was one for the books.  MY LITTLE BOY IS ONE! 🖤 #thedaysofsawyerhays
looks like my Instagram @yearofcolour report is just as I expected- a sea of nudes and neutrals! I think this color palette describes my vibe perfectly ✌🏼 what’s your @yearofcolour look like?
wishing everyone a merry Christmas! ❤️May the Lord bless and keep you all this holiday season!
turning 30-something today isn’t so bad when you are finally the mom you’ve always dreamed about being to the little boy of your dreams ❤️
