A L I X Adidas Slides These are my go-to summer slides (I have 2 pairs) because they are sporty, but still cute IMO. They are super easy slide on and run out the door. They are not a big splurge, so I'm not heartbroken if they get a little beat up over the summer. Here are some others I love: Nike Air Max 2090 We all know Heather is the Nike queen and she told me I had to have … [Read more...]

To my husband's dismay, I am always finding ways to elevate my decor around the house.. that's what you do when you move, right?! Someone explain this to him. I also find so much joy in decorating a space, whether that be my home or for a small gathering or party. And while my husband wishes my hobbies included things like golfing with him or just anything that doesn't require spending money (but … [Read more...]

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...]

I also live in my align joggers as they fit the bump perfect. I … [Read more...]

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...]
