Yep, still pregnant and still hot as balls here. I’m refusing too accept defeat though and just wear the single black tent I relied on at the end of my last pregnancy wiht James, or hide in my husband’s old…
My Most Worn Maternity Items
I can’t believe we’re in the final countdown and this pregnancy will soon be over. I’m one of those insane people who actually likes being pregnant, so this is bittersweet in some ways. It took so long to get here,…
Babymoon Beach Dress
Summer is flying by. I hate to say that because honestly, it’s only just begun, but also, it’s like already mid-July and I wish time would just slow down a bit. We are officially less than 8 weeks away from…
Happy Fourth of July!
The Fourth of July is one of my favorite holidays. Summer is in full swing. There’s the beach and pool and it’s just warm enough to enjoy both. There are fireworks, ice cream cones, parades, and lots of fun activities…
Summer Bucket List 2019

Wow. I cannot believe I’m already posting a third trimester update. I feel like I just found out I was pregnant. Actually, sometimes I wake up and rush to feel my belly and remind myself I’m no longer living the…
What I Wore This Week (No. 42)

Reflections on My Birthday and What I Learned From the Hardest Year
Friday was my birthday, so this post is a few days late, but after a fun weekend celebrating with my boys, I wanted to take a minute to reflect on the previous year and my goals from the one to come. I’m not sure if I ever shared this, but I love birthdays! I love celebrating other people’s and my own. I just feel like it’s one day (or in our house, week) all about you and celebrating your life and where you’re at and going. It’s like my own personal New Year’s in many ways — a chance to reflect, reset, set goals. And since my birthday corresponds with spring, I always feel really hopeful and like it’s a time of rebirth in some ways.
