Last Sunday, I had a sudden burst of energy that had me running around the house like a mad woman cleaning everything in sight. I don't know what got into me, but I had an unstoppable urge to clean. If it's this intense now, I don't even want to know what "nesting" is going to look like, haha. We also finished painting the ...

25 weeks!
Week 25 was great because we got a lot accomplished for the nursery. We ordered our crib, bedding and curtains (I had waited until there was another sale at Restoration Hardware Baby & Child before we made additional purchases). I can't wait to share everything with you all as it all comes in, but I'll save that all for some nursery ...
New Haircut & Hair Products I’m Loving
This past weekend, I had my hair cut and I realized that I haven't posted about my favorite hair products in quite some time. I had more hair cut than usual---I asked my stylist to shorten my layers and overall length because my hair was feeling really dry and heavy. I am really pleased with the results. My hair holds style better now and ...
Valentine
Wishing all of my readers a very happy Valentine's Day! We're keeping it simple and ordering in some pizza. H got me some lovely tulips and we of course exchanged cards. As for today's outfit, every time I wear this Forever 21 blouse, I remember how much I love it. It's a fun pattern and I love the laid-back ...
24 weeks!
I know I touched on this last week---but I really love pregnancy. I feel blessed that I've been feeling so good these last couple of months. I have a feeling I'll have a symptom pile-on in third trimester, but that's okay. I'm just trying to enjoy the experience as much as possible. I even joked with the husband that I'm not sure I can ever ...
Dress for the Evening
Last night my husband and I attended a wedding reception for his cousin. She had a beautiful wedding out in San Francisco where she and her husband live so her parents hosted a second reception at Brennan's here in Houston for friends and family who didn't attend. As I was checking out my closet, deciding what to wear, I came upon ...
Weekend Shopping & Some Outfits Lately
I had a brief work-related event to attend this morning and then I hit the village to use my GAP coupon. It was sent in the mail and gives you 40% off of a single item and 30% off of your entire purchase (including sale items) when you pay with your Visa card. Score! I picked up a few items for our sweet little girl. As I mentioned in a previous ...
23 Weeks!
I've really been enjoying pregnancy so far. Other than some brief discomfort here and there, I've been fortunate to have a fairly symptom-free and happy second trimester. Having said that, week 23 was the first time I felt like my hormones were really in overdrive. I was more emotional than usual, though some of that was definitely ...
Outfits Lately & A New Purchase
On Sunday I spent a couple of hours cleaning out and reorganizing my closet. Every spring and fall I rearrange it so that the warmer clothes are in the front for fall/winter and the cooler ones are in the front for spring/summer. It makes getting dressed easier and keeps things that are in-season easier to see. I also wanted to see if rearranging ...
Weekend Updates
This morning I met with one of my friends for a lovely brunch at Sweet Paris. I had a Bonne Mama crepe with four berry jam and a side salad with strawberries. YUM! If you are in Houston, definitely check it out. They also have crepes with eggs, meat, etc. So delicious and the decor is really nice as well (think tufted bench seating and ...
