We hosted a tiny get together at our house this weekend to reveal the gender of Big 3! I ordered this balloon off Etsy (with both pink and blue confetti) and had Alix take it to get it filled.. she's the only one who knew the gender before the party because I needed someone to execute "Operation Balloon." Not sure if anyone watched Kate Hudson's recent gender reveal but she was my inspiration.. … [Read more...]
12 Week Bump Date
How Far Along: Well I guess the title of this post gives it away but 12 weeks today.. officially in the "safe" zone as they say. Due November 19th.. Jackson arrived on his due date and Cam came one day before so I'm expecting a baby on November 18th, my best friend Krista's birthday :) Jackson was born on her wedding anniversary so it only makes sense that Big 3 comes on her bday too, … [Read more...]
Big 3
SURPRISE! We're having another baby..big 3 to be exact (This Is Us, anyone?!) and now that the initial shock has worn off (I'll write more about that later), we couldn't be more excited to welcome another little cub to this crazy gang. Just when I said I was done, finished, closin' up shop, No. More. Babies.. well.. turns out someone has bigger plans for us :) And my husband is officially not … [Read more...]
What I Ate Wednesday: The Workday Edition
This week I am sharing another "What I Ate Wednesday", but this day is a little different because I'm taking you through a typical workday. If you did not read my last WIAW check it out here for a disclaimer on the purpose and my intention of these types of posts. Someone recently asked on Instagram if I'm a practicing Dietitian... and the answer is yes! I currently work one day a week at a … [Read more...]
Here’s What I’m Obsessed With This Week
Do I sound like Andy Cohen from Watch What Happens Live? Good, cuz that's what I was going for.

Summer Wedding: Dress Guide
Wedding season (and baby shower/bridal shower season) is gearing up so I thought I'd round up a few of my favorite dresses I've been eyeing lately that would be perfect for any event these next few months. I would wear any single one of these dresses this Spring and Summer and a few are actually in my cart. What trends are you loving for Spring?

Meet Laura: Guest Writer+Working Mama Extraordinaire
Today's post is going to be a bit different. As you know, I am a full-time stay at home mom of two and my perspective on the day-to-day resonates with some of you but a lot of our readers are full-time working moms and I think it's important to reach all audiences and connect. This is why I want you to meet Laura: one of my lifelong friends from Orange County and new mom who recently went back to … [Read more...]
March Beauty Finds
So I thought it would be fun to do a roundup of my beauty finds each month.. kind of like Alix's grocery store finds. But this would be the top products I discovered, used and loved. Now, I don't buy a ton of new beauty products each month but I find myself in a Sephora or Nordstrom more times than I'd like to admit each week and so I am bound to stumble across sooooomething that catches my eye. … [Read more...]

If only the Seattle weather would catch up with the Spring season...OK I'll stop complaining about Seattle weather because this post is about my latest grocery store finds. It was a bit of a slow month in the new product department but I did find a few new gems I'll share with you. CocoYo Coconut Yogurt This is probably by far my favorite find this … [Read more...]
A Day in the Life: Heather
I'll admit it: I'm nosy. I like to know what people's days look like, especially moms- working or not. I've been both and I have friends who are both. After I had Jackson, I went back to work full time and established a great sense of balance in my personal and professional life. It wasn't easy by any means but I enjoyed it. But after Cam, I felt my calling was to stay home with my boys and so … [Read more...]
