Rocky Point!






We love Rocky Point! Ben and I have been going down to RP for years! We love it! It is so easy and fun down there! Did I mention cheap?! Totally affordable for the family on a budget!!!
Well, it was Harper's first time down, actually his first trip ever! He did so amazing and adapted really well to Rocky Point life. He just "chilled" the whole time! We were so worried about the ride there and back, but yet again he surprised us! He did awesome! Harper loved beach life! We just relaxed all day on the beach, napped, and got his feet wet in the ocean. Of course he had another ron de vu with his girlfriend Stella! She wore little sundresses that Harper could not resist! The babies did so well together!
I'm already counting down till our next trip!

5 Months!






Harper is 5 months! Will somebody please slow down time! It is surreal how fast they grow, learn, and change! Harper is now talking all day long, rolling everywhere, desperately trying to crawl, drooling, teething (no teeth yet), laughing, almost sitting up, and recognizing familiar faces. He reaches for Ben and I which is the best feeling. I never knew how great it would feel when he touched my cheeks or grabbed onto my shirt. It's so simple but so amazing!
I can't believe it has been 5 months since I gave birth to Harper! It seems like just yesterday I was waddling around and loving my belly. Not loving the belly these days even a little, ha! I thought as Harper would grow I would shrink... not the case! Harper has jumped from 6 pounds 12 ounces to 17 pounds! Unfortunately I haven't made such "positive progress" but no one said it would be easy!




We did it!






The salon is finally open! After years of planning and a crazy summer of preparation, AJ and I finally opened our doors on October 1st! What an amazing, scary, and liberating feeling to be a business owner! I can't wait to see what the future holds for us... hopefully all good!
In case you were wondering The Roose Parlour and Spa is located at 906 N. 6th Street, right off of 7th Street and Roosevelt. We are in the heart of the Small Business / Art District. We are also a residence of First Friday's Art Walk, literally!
Thank you everyone for all the support and encouragement you have given us! It's All Happening!
