The 4th trimester is something I didn't prepare for or even know about when I had Quinn. Essentially the 4th trimester is the 12-week period immediately after you have had your baby. It is a time of serious physical and emotional change as your baby adjusts to being outside the womb, and you adjust to your new with your baby. This is often the time when baby blues or PP anxiety and depression … [Read more...]

I really haven't shopped much for anything besides a few maternity items and baby essentials over these past 8 months.

Here are some new items and summer colors I currently have in my cart! The zipper front … [Read more...]

With my due date quickly approaching, I'm finding myself pretty much set for all things baby and now needing to think about myself and what postpartum life is going to look like. Our weekends have been pretty chill lately...house projects (my husband) and nesting mode (me). I've started to think about what sort of snacks and lactation goodies I can make now, freeze, and have ready to go when I … [Read more...]

The Last Letter from Your Lover When I found out this book was being turned into a Netflix movie I had to read it. I've liked a few other Jojo Moyes books in the past (Me Before You- ugh so good!) so I figured this book would be good too. I LOVED it! In the book there are two love stories going on, one in the 1960's and one present day and they are intertwined. I found myself so invested in the … [Read more...]

As my pregnancy journey is winding down (hello 32 weeks!) I thought I would share some of my favorite products that I have been using non-stop throughout my pregnancy. I went pretty minimal with this pregnancy and did not want to buy much, but here are my must-have products I couldn't have survived without (or just made the last 32 weeks much more tolerable!) Pregnancy PillowI started to … [Read more...]

What I've noticed working in private practice and nutrition counseling over the years is that there seems to be client "themes". For some reason I feel like I will have a handful of client with similar issues, and for the past few weeks a theme I'm noticing is complaints of GI symptoms. This can range from gas, bloating, constipation, and diarrhea. Many clients try to figure it out on their own … [Read more...]

| jean jacket | shirt | joggers | sunnies | shoes | I'm 29 weeks pregnant and sh*t is getting real over here!! I'm in my third trimester and really feeling like it's crunch time to get all the things done before baby girl is here in June. I'm starting to feel real pregnant these days. I've definitely slowed down overall, and I'm needing to let myself relax and rest more (which is hard for … [Read more...]

Yay! We survived the winter and I couldn't be more excited for spring. We are getting teases of spring weather here in Seattle and that has me thinking about how excited I am to wear shorts and tank tops again. While my wardrobe is a bit limited right now until June, I have been eyeing some spring workout pieces I would love to add to my closet. To view an item item hover over picture and … [Read more...]

Modere + Vital Proteins I have been taking 1 tablespoon 2 times a day of the Modere Life for almost 5-6 months now. I'm trying to be proactive in postpartum hair loss (usually happens around 4 months postpartum) by taking this during pregnancy and continuing postpartum. I know my hair usually grows longer and thicker (less hair falling out in the shower!) during pregnancy and I'm hopeful this … [Read more...]
