We're in double digits, folks! Just two more months until this baby is one year old and each and every month I still marvel at the time that has gone by. Does the world just run in "fast-forward" mode when you become a parent? It sure feels like it. Harper has become the sweetest, funniest, silliest, most loving baby girl. Her personality really ...

Our Saturday…
This morning by some amazing miracle, Harper woke up at 6:30, had her bottle, played around in our bed for a bit and then went back to sleep until 9:30! It was glorious and though I had to wake up to pump, I did get about an hour and a half of extra sleep after that. What a great way to start the day! After our morning sleep-in, we went to ...
(Spring) Cleaning
It's Spring and I've got cleaning on my mind. Cliche, I know, but there are days (and weeks…and months) where our house just gets out of control. I'm talking stuff on every surface, laundry not put away, the floor of my closet covered in clothes…it goes on and on. I was THAT pregnant woman who was all "I would NEVER let my house get like ...
The Right Stripe
I've been looking for a white striped blazer for quite some time and never found the perfect one…until now. I missed out when Anthropologie had a similar style a couple of years ago (see it on Chloe, here) and since then had purchased a black blazer with white stripes from Express (that I later sold on Poshmark) and another cotton striped blazer ...
Must Ask Mama- Round Two!
Remember to email your questions for next month to Lynzy (sparklingfootsteps at gmail dot com)! 1.) What are the essentials needed (or just great items) for a birthing hospital bag? - Katie Kilee: "Packing a hospital bag sounds much more overwhelming than it should be. Really it is just packing most of the things you would want ...
Weekend Happenings…
Harper is feeling a lot better today, thank you for everyone who sent well wishes! Her nose is still running like a faucet but her fever is gone and she has a lot more energy today. On the road to recovery! Megan and I got together today for breakfast and some shopping. It's so nice to have a few hours of girl time, it was ...
Gap Friends & Family Sale- 40% Off of Your Purchase & My Picks
Gap is having a Friends & Family sale right now, in stores and online using the code FAF40 for 40% off of your purchase. As I've mentioned time and time again, I don't ever buy anything full priced from Banana Republic, Gap or Old Navy. There's a different promotion every single week---but I recommend waiting until items are 35-40%. I ...
H-E-B Beauty Picks: Radiant Orchid
Last year, I was absolutely smitten with Pantone’s choice of emerald as the color of the year. Not only is it my birthstone, but it’s one of my favorite colors and I own a few pieces I just love in that color, including this dress, this dress and this one. This year’s color, Radiant Orchid, is every bit as beautiful and I already have ...
A Tweed Jacket
Thank you to everyone who left a sweet comment on my last outfit post! I really appreciate your feedback. I also want to say thank you to those who have stuck around as my blog transitioned from mostly personal style and beauty to what it is now--- baby, baby and more baby…and a few DIY, home and beauty posts here and there. You can ...
The Sloan Fit Pants
I've been a fan of Banana Republic's Sloan fit pants for quite some time now. I have a black pair as well as a deep forest green. When I saw these rugy stripe Sloan fit slim ankle pants in a mailer BR sent out, I knew I had to have them. The thick stripes are so fun and the fit is really flattering. You can't really tell in these photos because ...
