You will never have this day with your children again. Tomorrow, they'll be a little older than they were today. This day is a gift. Breath and notice. Smell and touch them. Study their faces and little feet and pay attention. Enjoy today mamma, it will be over before you know it.

BIG Birthday Gifts!

There have been several projects going on at the O'Neal house these past few weeks.
Well, truth be told these have been in the works for much longer than that.

Cohen's birthday was our deadline to have all the projects done...thank goodness we set a deadline or these projects may have taken much longer due to the man hours that had to be put into each of them.

Project 1


We researched for months on what type of playhouse we wanted Cohen to get for his birthday.

There are so many out there to choose from but the size of our backyard made it is to narrow it down between a few of them.

Most of the playhouses that caught my eye were really nice but gigantic! So those were not an option.

We wanted something that Cohen could get in and out of easily and could grow into.

After looking intently for a week or so we finally made our choice!


This playhouse WOULD NOT have come together without the help of three wonderful men!!

I'm sure Tyler would be thrilled if I told people that he built this himself (and I'm sure he is capable) but, I must give credit to all three that worked so very hard to make sure this came together in time for his birthday party!

Thank you SO VERY MUCH to Tyler, Pops, and G for a job well done!!

We are so thankful for your help!

Project 2

Since we are expecting baby no. 2, we decided that the time has come to put Cohen in a big boy room!

With the help of my sweet friend Kim it all came together and looks awesome!!

This room took many hours of planning, texting, e-mailing and shopping for furniture and accessories!

I have to say a HUGE thank you to my sweet mom for painting Cohen's new room! I'm sure she could have found better ways to spend her Saturday but I'm so glad that she chose to help me out with the paint!

And I must say that she did a GREAT job!!

We revealed Cohen's room to him last weekend and his reaction was PRICELESS!!

He went straight to his bed and started jumping up and saying "Big Bed!!"

Lot's of grins and oohs and ahhs!


Love the color combinations! The puppy dog pillow is my favorite! It is so boyish and cute!

The foot warmer is awesome!



The football makes it look so big boyish!

The stool was a great addition...Cohen went straight to it to help him get on his bed!!!
