It's HERE! The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale has started and it feels like Christmas ;) but not going to lie, we got to the store right when it opened this morning and it felt like the Hunger Games. Online shopping is WAY better and less stress. Below are the items we snagged or would purchase if we had any money left ha. I didn't get any denim because #pregnant and #fat but there are SO many good … [Read more...]

I hosted a girls brunch a few weeks ago and went back and forth with menu ideas.  I wanted to keep it simple and avoid being in a hot kitchen prepping all morning, so I decided on an avocado toast bar.  I figured this would be a fun and interactive menu that the girls could tailor to their own preferences.  It took a little bit of prep to get everything sliced and ready to go, but I was able to do … [Read more...]

How Far Along: Halfway there.. I can't even believe it! The first 20 weeks went by pretty slow in my opinion and I have a feeling the second half is going to fly.. at least until those last few weeks (which last 365 days). We have a very busy summer planned and before we know it, it'll be September, then October, then oh sh*t he's gonna be here. Not. Ready. But who's ever ready for a … [Read more...]

Typically, my family goes to Wisconsin for the 4th of July because that's where Britt's family lives. It has been a tradition ever since we met but this year, we are postponing our trip until the end of the month. So that freed up our 4th of July plans! This year, along with three other families (literally 8 adults and 9 kids.. Jesus take the wheel), we rented a house in Seabrook. It's a coastal … [Read more...]

How do you intend to make it one of your best yet?! We'd love to hear! Alix SPF. every day. I've been good about using this Drunk Elephant tinted … [Read more...]

Truth bomb: I gave away all of Cameron and Jackson's baby items (clothes, high chairs, play mats, etc) because like I said, we. were. done. OOPS. Guess again. So I have found myself building out a new registry but this time, I am going #minimal. Bare necessities. I'm going to give you a little glimpse into the items I've already registered for and can't live without during those first few months.. … [Read more...]

No surprise here.. I found myself perusing my favorite sites this weekend and wanted to share some deals and steals I came across in my search. This Topshop button shift dress is only $60 and perfect for summer.. crushing on the black and olive green colors. I recently bought this Leith shift in grey but the coral is on sale for $33.. so basically free. #need. Comy cozies are my life … [Read more...]

sunglasses | jean jacket | dress | shoes (similar) How Far Along: 16 weeks today and officially in my second trimester.. and feeling somewhat normal again. You know it's your third kid when you actually aren't quite sure how many weeks pregnant you are and your friend (who is due on the same day) has to remind you #fail. With Jackson and Cam, I checked my Babycenter app every day to see what size … [Read more...]

sunglasses | sweater (this version on sale) | necklace | jeans (these on sale) | slides I found myself in Nordstrom the other day (#shocker) and while I didn't see any "must haves" in store, I came home and browsed online and found quite a few of good items for 33-40% off.
