Can't wait to slip on my slides and head to the lake for some water and sunshine. My favorite sandals for the upcoming change in seasons are linked below: **if you hover on the widget, an icon should appear on each image and you can click it to take you … [Read more...]

I love a good pair of designer sunglasses but I also love when I can find almost identical versions for under $20! Amazon FOR. THE. WIN. Always. I'll admit, I have too many sunglasses for my own good but my mood really dictates which pair I reach for on a sunny day. I know, few and far between here in Seattle but when Spring and Summer hit, I am rotating these babies every single day. Here are … [Read more...]

How Far Along: A little over 26 weeks now! I feel like the first trimester went by sooo slow and the second is flying by! I can't believe I'm almost in the home stretch. Feeling: Physically I feel pretty good other than low back pain/SI pain. I got this belly band and feel like it is helping relieve some of the low back pressure. I also continue to get monthly massages and I'm in the … [Read more...]

The term "self-care" is so overdone these days and sometimes I cringe hearing it. Like yeah girl, get your alone time in. I wish there was another way to express the need for "taking care of ourselves" but the fact is, we all need it, crave it, and fulfill it in our own personal ways. For some, it's a run or yoga class.

When I'm pregnant I tend to consume more dairy (it just sounds good) and also have more carbs/gluten in my diet. This … [Read more...]

My oldest son, Jackson, turned 6 today and the kid LOVES clothes and shoes.. no idea where he got that from ;) No, he actually got it from his dad.. if you know my husband, you know his affinity for shoes. Jackson is always "Nike'd out" from head to toe because that is just what is comfortable and accessible in his closet most days! However, he loves other brands, too and so I let him help pick … [Read more...]

If you've been following along for a while then you know I was always on the fence about having a second baby. Even when I was pregnant with Quinn I told people she might be my one and only. I truly thought we were one and done until Quinn turned 3. The summer she turned 3 was when I really started to get that desire to have another baby and I wanted to give Quinn a sibling. As many of you know … [Read more...]
