The Cannon Adventures: Pumpkin Patch Fun

Elouise’s dress | bow | boots | bracelets

Earlier this week Elouise, my mom, and I, went to a super fun event with Baby Bjorn at the cutest pumpkin patch. Elouise had the time of her life exploring all of the fall fun and touched at least half of the pumpkins. I knew that we had to take another trip to our local pumpkin patch so that she could explore some more and we could share the fun with Daddy. So, thats just what we did yesterday. Tom’s Farm is a the cutest little spot down the freeway from us and they had the perfect little patch set up with a variety of pumpkins, music, and games.

Elouise’s Birth Story

Leave a comment

Baby Boy’s due date is officially one month away, and I have been thinking back to a year and a half ago when I was in this same stage in my pregnancy with Elouise. Things looked a whole lot different but somehow they are also surprisingly similar. Thinking back made me realize that I have never actually written down Elouise’s birth story, so before I have another story to tell and things get all jumbled, I decided to share it here with you all. I spared no detail, so it’s pretty long. Maybe grab a cup of coffee and hunker down to read it during morning nap time.

Mrs Seacannon Must-Haves: HALO Sleep Sack

Leave a comment

From the moment I found out I was pregnant with Elouise I felt my maternal instincts kick in. A big part of that was the thought of keeping my then unborn baby safe. There’s so much unknown as you grow a tiny human inside of you with barely any control over what is happening. Then as my due date approached I became even more aware of my upcoming duties as a mama and how it would be my job to keep this tiny baby safe. That’s when I began researching all things newborn and baby, but it only made me more nervous. The thing that scared me the most was SIDS and while there is no surefire way to prevent it from happening, there are plenty of things you can do to lower the risk. October happens to be SIDS awareness month and I was fortunate enough to partner with HALO in their “decorate the nursery, not the crib” campaign.

What I’m Packing for a Plane Ride with a Toddler

Leave a comment

Tomorrow we are waking up bright and early for a traffic filled drive to the airport and hopping on a flight to Seattle. One of my oldest and dearest friends is getting married so we will be up there for 5 days sight seeing and celebrating. Plus, Elouise will be making her debut as the cutest flower girl this side of the Mississippi, or anywhere for that matter. The last time we flew with E she was only 7 months old, but she was the perfect little angel. Well flying with a walking, talking, very opinionated toddler is going to be a whole different experience I’m sure. However, I am prepared with all sorts of tricks and tactics to keep her happy so I thought I’d share with you guys what I’ll be packing in my diaper bag.

Small Shop Spotlight: Poppy Lane & Co.

Leave a comment

It’s another Small Shop Spotlight with one of my favorites, Poppy Lane & Co. (PS you’ll want to read all the way until the end for a coupon code and a second giveaway) So, my first ever baby item that I received in the mail was a Poppy Lane & Co. bracelet and a matching one for me. Honestly, opening up that package was when it really hit me that a baby was going to be joining us. I just stared at that tiny little newborn size bracelet and marveled at how pretty soon that would fit on the tiny wrist of the sweet baby girl that was growing inside of me. For the next few weeks, I would pull out the bracelet and squeal and then stare at it while imagining all of the memories we would make in our matching bracelets.
