top | shorts | sandals I hope you all enjoyed your Fourth of July celebrations and your summer is off to a fun start! I know ours is :) We head home to Seattle this Wednesday after spending the last month in Wisconsin and while I am excited to get home and back into our own routine, I am also sad to leave the lake and our family back here. Our days here are so simple and sweet.. swim, fish, … [Read more...]

A L I X Lululemon Tanks I'm living in Lulu tanks and shorts right now because it's so hot in Seattle and it's so easy to throw on for my summer uniform. These are my top fave Lulu tanks I have each in multiple colors. Zella Jumper My girlfriend was wearing this at the park the other day and I jumped on the Nordstrom app and ordered immediately. It's SO comfortable and will be … [Read more...]

Kinsley is one month old today! Crazy how fast this month has flown by, but there have also been some long and hard days in the mix. I feel like we are starting to get into a little groove and I'm getting to know her cues and what she likes/doesn't like. Today I'm sharing our most used (and loved) baby products from our first month! Sound Machine This portable sound machine is a game … [Read more...]

I wish I had written up Quinn's birth story because this experience was SO different. I was likely in labor all weekend with Quinn, but I was in denial and ended up showing up at the hospital almost 10 cm dilated and told not to push until they found me a room! I never got hooked up to an IV, was signing admission paperwork between contractions, and was too late for any drugs. Since she came so … [Read more...]

I used to be one to spend hundreds on sunglasses and I have wisened up over the years. I'd end up losing them, stretching them out, or breaking them when I tossed them in my purse. I just don't take care of sunglasses like I probably should... so now I go the inexpensive yet stylish route. Most of my sunglasses are under $20 but can be mistaken for a pair of Ray-Bans any day of the week. Here are … [Read more...]

Father's Day is around the corner and so I'm sharing my go-to gifts for any husband, father or grandfather in your life. I love a personalized detail like a golf ball marker or cigar case, a fancy outdoor fire pit, or techy sunglasses with speakers built in (I think these were on my list last year because I got them for my husband and he still uses them today so I wanted to share again!). This … [Read more...]

Today is an appreciation post for sunscreen... the closest thing to a miracle lotion on the market and the only secret to looking young. You can own all medical grade skincare, do expensive peels, get cosmetic procedures done, but NOTHING works better than SPF, especially if you start young. And as always, cover your face with a hat, visor, or towel when you're in the sun! Here are my favorite … [Read more...]

A L I X Lululemon Long Sleeve Top These tops are nothing new in my closet, but I keep adding new colors to my collection because they are the best light weight long sleeve shirt. They are fitting great over the bump too. For spring and summer, the mornings usually start a little crisp, so having something light weight is the perfect layer. I have this top in white, black, and grey, but have … [Read more...]

How Far Along: I'm 38weeks +3 days...whaaaat?! My due date is 6/14, so she can really come any day now. Quinn was exactly 1 week early, so I've been prepared for this babe to make an early entrance as well. Feeling: Physically I've really started to feel it in the third trimester. My low pack/SI pain has remained consistent basically throughout this pregnancy. The nausea has also picked … [Read more...]
