I don't even know how to start writing this post because my feelings are still so raw and fresh. I'm still in a little bit of shock at what happened over the last couple of days. But more than anything else I'm thankful to be here and that I'm healthy for my children and family. I had an appointment scheduled Wednesday as a postpartum follow-up ...

Lincoln’s Birth Announcements with Minted
some of my favorite foil-pressed birth announcement options on Minted I was so excited to create a birth announcement with the beautiful photos Ailee shot of Lincoln a few weeks ago. I have loved Minted for a long time now--- we used them to create our Christmas cards last year and were so pleased with the style and quality. I wanted a super ...
Third Trimester To-Do List & Some Exciting News!
Happy Thursday! Third trimester to-do list: Wrap-up major projects at work before going on leave. Wash and organize baby clothes. Pick-up newborn stuff we still need. Move. We had talked about searching for a new home before I was even pregnant with baby #2 because our existing home’s layout wasn’t ideal for our growing family. We wanted to ...
Our Weekend + Giveaway from Lou Lou & Company
Happy Sunday! This weekend was full of fun- our Saturday started off with Little Gym and then we headed across town to celebrate sweet Caroline's first birthday. As you can see, Harper was a big fan of the cake (and so was I!) Today, we met up with my in-laws for brunch at our favorite crepe spot, Sweet Paris at City Centre. Kevin and I have a ...
StitchFix Maternity: Review #2
My second StitchFix Maternity order came in last week and I'm excited to share with you the items from my fix! First in my package was this beautiful top with lace trim sleeves by Market & Spruce ($58). Not only it is perfect for a growing belly, but it's long, flowy (but not too baggy) and the lace trim is darling. My stylist did a great ...
28 Week Bumpdate- Baby #2!
I had an ultrasound scheduled for my 28th week of pregnancy to check on my placenta due to my previous complication, so I thought today would be a good day to share a pregnancy update! Little did I know that on the way to that ultrasound I would be involved in a car accident. First of all--- thank you for all of the sweet comments on IG from you ...
Our Weekend…
Hey! I hope y'all had a great weekend! It's a bagillion degrees here right now and I will fully admit that getting through the summer with a pregnant belly and 20 extra lbs of weight on your frame isn't as fun as it looks (no, really). My ribs have been hurting again (they did the last time too) and I'm uncomfortable pretty much daily. It ...
StitchFix: Maternity
When I placed my order for my most recent StitchFix, I requested maternity pieces and/or pieces that would grow with me. I also wanted them to be pieces that would work through summer since the rest of my pregnancy will no doubt involve 80-100 degree temps. The first item in my fix was this adorable navy blue dress. It was comfortable and ...
Black in Summer?
I get it. It's totally counter intuitive to wear an all-black outfit in the hot heat of summer. But when your top is as lightweight as this one, I promise you won't regret it. I mentioned this top in my weekend post and I wore it to work Monday and it's fantastic. It's maternity, but I really think anyone could wear it as it's just a nice, long ...
Summer Style with JCPenney
Dressing for our (insanely) hot Houston weather can be a challenge. One of my go-to summer weekend looks is a maxi dress with a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses. Maxi dresses are flowy and help keep you cool and I love the added protection and shade a big hat provides (and my dermatologist is also thankful I've changed my ways with sun exposure ...
