Easter is right around the corner- how crazy is that!? It falls on April 8th this year. April is always a fun month for us- my husband and I both have April birthdays just a few days apart. I'm looking forward to Easter more than ever because both kids will be able to hunt eggs and play together. Bella was just a babe last year, but Bryson really got into the egg hunting. Because I don't often splurge on children's clothing, Easter is the perfect excuse to buy Bella a beautiful … [Read more...]
It's hard to believe that it has been two years since I sat stunned it front of the TV trying to wrap my mind around the utter devastation in Haiti. Over 300,000 lives were lost. There were stories of sorrow, of pain and loss, but there were also stories of hope. It was like an emotional roller-coaster ride for me and as I tucked Bryson into bed each night, I gave thanks for things I had previously taken for granted- a home, warm beds, food, all of those things that seem to be a part of … [Read more...]
I think I may be a little odd when it comes to my kid's clothing. I prefer to dress them in comfortable, affordable, and stylish clothing.

For the longest, I didn't talk about my blog. I knew a lot of people just wouldn't understand it, so I tucked it away and kept quiet about it. Over the past year though, as the opportunities have gotten bigger and better and as I've started focusing more on family, I've become quite proud of this little blog. So proud in fact that I now have a shirt from JustJen.com telling the world (the few people I see anyways, haha) about itsgravybaby.com! And yes, I do know that there is a dark … [Read more...]
Shopping for Bryson this year has been much more difficult that the past years. He's old enough to have likes and dislikes and he's just spoiled enough that he already has almost everything he wants. One thing he's been talking about lately is a backpack. Honestly, he has used a Hello Kitty one from my school days and while he doesn't mind, I think it's time to get one that he will enjoy. I knew when I saw the Dragon Knight backpack by Kidorable, it would be perfect for … [Read more...]
You may already know a few things about World Vision. You probably know that you can sponsor children through World Vision and that they serve in almost 100 countries. What you might NOT know? You can shop through the World Vision catalog and give meaningful gifts this Christmas season. The beauty is that these items provide a two-for-one benefit 1) a meaningful and affordable gift for a loved one; 2) proceeds that make a difference in the lives of children and families living in poverty … [Read more...]
