This past weekend we celebrated George's first birthday. It has been such a bittersweet moment for us. Time seems to go by so quickly and it truly feels like we were just in the hospital welcoming our new boy. But here we are and we could not be more proud. ...
As we continue passing by holidays while at home during lockdown, I wanted to share some simple yet sweet ways to celebrate Mother's Day at home this year. Whether it's celebrating yourself (cheers to you, mama!), your own mom or mother-in-law, friends who are moms, women who are caregivers, expecting mothers, or hopeful mama's, I think it's a beautiful day to celebrate women. ...
I've been talking with many of you about ways to make special moments exciting during this time at home. This has been on my mind so much since George's first birthday is on Sunday. I asked you guys a few weeks ago to share any and all ideas for celebrating life events while quarantined. And oh my gosh, you all had a lot of clever and fun ideas. Here's how TTD FAM is celebrating special moments at home. ...
I know many of you are gearing up for your annual Christmas card photos. And while it's an exciting time to get the family together and capture a special memory or milestone, it can also be a source of stress. What to wear, finding a photographer and scheduling are all questions that pop up when trying to plan for family photos. I posted our first family Christmas Cards a couple weeks ago and had some requests to share outfit suggestions, color palettes and little ways to make this process "easier". ...
Since this is our first holiday with baby George, I couldn't wait to plan out our holiday cards. I know the whole holiday card process can be daunting. Between organizing a time to take pictures, figuring out what to wear and finding the right photographer, it can certainly cause some stress. But it really is so special having those photos. Plus a great way to capture this significant milestone -- our first holiday as a family of three! ...
We have been feeling so many emotions these past few months. The excitement of our new baby, the anxiety of getting everything "ready" (but are you really ever ready?) and the joy of embracing the new change that will be happening next month. ...
2018 was one of the best years of my life, and it was also one of the most difficult. From exciting moments like moving into our new house and growing our team to, of course, finding out we were going to have a baby this spring, there were some life-long dreams happening. But with the devastating loss of our dear Lucy (our 2.5 year old French Bulldog) and going through a miscarriage, it was also a year that felt lonely, sad, and extremely heavy. There were many times that it was hard to focus on all the things that were going "right" when we were dealing with such loss. ...
Here at The Teacher Diva, we strive to make a conscious effort in giving back to the community.

It does not necessarily only come in the shape of monetary donations. Below are a few ways to use your family, company or group of friends to give back to the community both locally and abroad, during the holidays and always. Feel free to drop a comment below with your favorite organization so others can check it out as well. Happy Holidays! ...
Happy Valentine's Day, friends! Whether you're gearing up for a cozy night in or heading out on the town, I hope your holiday is full of love and laughs.
I've been having some fun going through my TimeHop on Facebook, and put together some of these older photos of us. Some of these are from 9 years ago! Definitely puts a smile on our faces to look through all these memories. ...
