dress | cardigan | sunglasses | sandals How Far Along: 24 weeks and Parker is as big as an ear of corn and about 1 1/4 lb.. although based on the somersaults and ninja jabs I'm feeling, he could be a lot bigger and stronger than that. My placenta is positioned in front and the doctor said I may not be able to feel him as much due to its placement. Ummm WRONG. His movements wake me up at all … [Read more...]

Today, I just need to ramble.. there's no real topic I want to talk about but I have thoughts that I need to put to paper.. er, the computer. Just some life lately. Instagram is a highlight reel and you see only a glimpse of what's going on in a person's life so I thought I'd let you in just a little more. Open up. Probably super boring..but here it goes. First up: birthday celebrations. I … [Read more...]

Alix and I live in athleisure gear 99% of the times so we invested in the below pieces to get us motivated for a workout while also looking put together and cute.. a must ;) We tend to purchase high neck crops/tops because when you're … [Read more...]

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...]

Enjoy and have a great week. Impress Skincare: (SPONSOR ID: 2842) Alix and I were recently introduced to this skincare line by the sweetest woman named Linda (you can find her Instagram here), a fellow … [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...]

Happy Friday loves!

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...]
