In my last month of pregnancy, I didn't buy any clothes because it was DE-PRESS-ING. When the only clothes that fit are that of your husbands, you kind of just avoid the mall and online shopping at all costs. But beauty items are never off limits and always FIT. I spent the last few weeks listening to beauty/skin podcasts- I went into a deep, dark, rabbit hole on The Skinny Confidential and … [Read more...]

flannel | shirt | leggings | water bottle And by final pregnancy, I mean FINAL!! I am 39 weeks pregnant today and hopeful it's my last.. but with that comes some bittersweet thoughts as I approach the end of this journey. I am so ready for my hip pain to be gone. I am ready to sleep on my back and stomach again. I am ready to have a social life (CHAMPAGNE!!!). I am ready to meet this boy who will … [Read more...]

This month's favorites is going to be a quick one because I really haven't bought myself anything over the course of the last month because shopping is NOT FUN this pregnant. I try.. trust me. I TRY! But I end up walking out of the mall with nothing except a pastry and lemonade. But, I did come across a few faves + a little wishlist for when this baby does come out and I can squeeze this ass into … [Read more...]

Let me just start off by saying that everything on this list does not always happen every single day (misleading blog title I know). Some days we nail it and check off all the boxes and some day we aren't even close.  Nonetheless, the following 6 activities are things I feel are really important for us and I make a big effort to incorporate them into our daily routine. Eat Together Well, duh … [Read more...]

dress (non-maternity)| boots (similar)- mine are by Hinge and no longer sold Let me preface this post by saying that I am in no way, shape or form expecting any of the below from my friends or family after I give birth to Parker ;) I just thought this topic was timely seeing as I am three weeks out from delivering my third baby and after doing this a couple times before, I feel like I have a … [Read more...]

hat | sweater |sunglasses | boots How Far Along: 36 weeks and just 4 short weeks away from meeting him. And something tells me they're going to fly by. Feeling: A tad anxious. Even though I've given birth two times before, each experience was so different and I just wish I knew how it's all gonna go down with P. With Jackson, I went into labor at 2 am or so (my water didn't break) and I worked … [Read more...]

hat (similar) | coat (similar, same brand) | shirt | boots Hi guys! I realized my camera roll was getting full and I needed to save my pictures to my computer.. so why not dump them all here and do a post dedicated to the everyday happenings of my little world?! It's a random post.. but I swear those always turn out the best. Here's what's been going on: Pumpkin Patchin': We've been to the … [Read more...]

I've never done a motherhood update and thought it would be fun to change gears and talk more about my experiences being a mom.  Quinn turned 2 in August and I feel like she has really transitioned into being a full blown toddler! She's always had a strong personality, which I think will serve her well in the future, but it makes my job a bit challenging at the moment. I should have known she … [Read more...]

I'm probably jinxing myself by packing my hospital bag this early and Parker will come a week LATE but I'm type A and can't help it. With Jackson, my hospital bag was more like a hospital suitcase.. I brought all. the. things. Let me tell you how many things I used from that suitcase.. five (maybe). So let's just say I've learned my lesson to go MINIMAL and bring the essentials. Honestly, the … [Read more...]

Happy October 1.. it's my favorite time in the Pacific Northwest. Give me all the fall things: candles, pumpkins, leaves and hot tea by the fire! September flew by so today's post of all of my favorites is kind of a hodge podge.. so here it goes: Free People Cardigan: This cardigan is from FP's intimates line so I think it's supposed to be a robe.. but I wear it out in public. A win/win in my … [Read more...]
