How Far Along: A little over 26 weeks now! I feel like the first trimester went by sooo slow and the second is flying by! I can't believe I'm almost in the home stretch. Feeling: Physically I feel pretty good other than low back pain/SI pain. I got this belly band and feel like it is helping relieve some of the low back pressure. I also continue to get monthly massages and I'm in the … [Read more...]

The term "self-care" is so overdone these days and sometimes I cringe hearing it. Like yeah girl, get your alone time in. I wish there was another way to express the need for "taking care of ourselves" but the fact is, we all need it, crave it, and fulfill it in our own personal ways. For some, it's a run or yoga class. For others, it's 5 minutes of meditation before the work day. For me, it's a … [Read more...]

My skincare routine has changed a bit since becoming pregnant. I've had to remove some of my favorite, more clinical, products out of my routine. I've worked with my aesthetician to try and find alternatives to help with the acne cause by hormone and dietary changes. When I'm pregnant I tend to consume more dairy (it just sounds good) and also have more carbs/gluten in my diet. This … [Read more...]

My oldest son, Jackson, turned 6 today and the kid LOVES clothes and shoes.. no idea where he got that from ;) No, he actually got it from his dad.. if you know my husband, you know his affinity for shoes. Jackson is always "Nike'd out" from head to toe because that is just what is comfortable and accessible in his closet most days! However, he loves other brands, too and so I let him help pick … [Read more...]

If you've been following along for a while then you know I was always on the fence about having a second baby. Even when I was pregnant with Quinn I told people she might be my one and only. I truly thought we were one and done until Quinn turned 3. The summer she turned 3 was when I really started to get that desire to have another baby and I wanted to give Quinn a sibling. As many of you know … [Read more...]

Here we are at the end of the second month of 2021 and it's still sweats and cozies. Like Cody from Peloton said, "I am keeping the tags on 2021!" I am not sure when our world will ever be "normal" again but as far as I can tell, we'll be living at home in our athleisure FOR SOME TIME. So I put together an updated capsule wardrobe.. staple pieces you can interchange to make a variety of outfits. … [Read more...]

Quinn will be almost 5 years old when baby girl #2 arrives and let's just say a lot has changed in the past 5 years when it comes to baby products! While, I'm really not trying to get a lot of extra stuff with this baby because I now know how little a newborn really needs, there are a few key products I have been eyeing that I am excited to try this time around.

She's lucky she's so darn cute, because she is A LOT of work! As most of you know, who follow us on Instagram, my family brought home a new puppy last week. Yes, I'm now 22 weeks pregnant and have a 10 week old puppy on my hands lol! It's funny how timing works out...we definitely did not plan for this to happen. TBH I had somewhat given up on the idea that I was going to get pregnant and … [Read more...]
