I haven't been blogging much lately. Things have been so busy at work that I'm typically pretty tired by the time I get home and ready to eat dinner, watch a couple of shows and go to bed. I love being busy at work though, so no complaints here. Even though I have four months left at work, I feel like I'm trying to get as much done as possible ...

Weekend Shopping & Baby’s Dresser Has Arrived
We had a pretty laid back Saturday, until I decided when we got home from lunch and running errands that we were going to empty out the nursery. Our day started off with our Restoration Hardware Baby & Child Haylan wide dresser and hutch being delivered (we got it for 20% off!). More on that later. Then, we went out for lunch and I ...
Stella & Dot Giveaway- Jewels for Spring!
I've always been a fan of Stella & Dot jewelry. The pieces are pretty, trendy and high-quality. Many of the pieces I have from the line are some of my most-worn and beloved pieces (you can see them in my holiday wish list post here). One my my readers, Alyssa, generously offered to host a Stella & Dot giveaway on my blog. ...
21 weeks!
I think the halfway point of pregnancy kind of brought out a sense of urgency in me. Suddenly I started to think about how I haven't ordered much yet so I started to (in a panic) use the task list app on my iPhone to make a list of all of the things we need to do before baby arrives (tour daycares, have nursery painted, curtains installed, ...
Outfits Lately & GAP maternity really skinny pants love
This post is a little combo of two weekend outfits and two work week outfits. I've found myself gravitating towards the same pieces---especially my super long tanks and dress shirts. They work so well with a bump. The one thing in common in all of these photos is the GAP really skinny maternity pants. It's safe to say I'm completely in love with ...
Outfits Lately
Dressing for work has been fun lately. Now that I'm showing more, it's interesting to see how different clothes drape on my body. Fortunately I own a lot of long and looser tops, so I haven't had a hard time putting together outfits...yet...haha! Ask me 10 weeks from now how simple it is to put outfits together. I'm still wearing a lot of ...
“Man Care” Tools, Upgraded- A Gift for My Husband
I think I mentioned this in my Christmas post this year---but my husband and I haven't been huge on exchanging Christmas gifts for the past couple of years. He did get me a few small gifts this year and I got him a panini maker a few weeks before Christmas...but we've just preferred to buy gifts for others and sponsor some very deserving kids ...
20 weeks!
How far along? 20 weeks (I do these a week behind as a recap of the previous week, so I'm actually 21 weeks today.) Total weight gain/loss: At my 20 week appointment, I was up 3 lbs. total so far in this pregnancy. I was a little concerned and asked my OB if this was not good or if I should try to gain more and she said I ...
Decorating with Words & Giveaway!
I love the look of framed prints to liven up walls and add a modern look to any room. One of my readers, Stephanie, who is a print shop owner, blogger and photographer based in my hometown of Toronto has an online shop with her own custom-designed prints and she sent me one for our home: I love the verse on this print and the pretty ...
