Today Kevin, Harper and I met one of my best friends Candice for a birthday brunch at one of our favorite spots, Backstreet Cafe. Harper wore her adorable little romper from Target---in a six month size---what's up with the sizing there? LOL. I think she will outgrow it pretty soon so I plan to turn it into a little tank top when the buttons can't ...

ALMAY Color + Care™ Liquid Lip Balm
I'm pretty picky about lip products and prefer glosses that deliver hydration and conditioning in addition to color because I tend to have dry lips that occasionally peel (and, okay, sometimes I bite my lip a bit so I need something that helps keep them supple). Plus, if you're going to put something on your lips to enhance their color, ...
Harper: Two Months Old!
Time is passing by way too quickly. I have to be honest and say that I am dreading going back to work. Not because I don't love my job...but because I've gotten too used to waking up to this gorgeous face and spending my days caring for her...watching her grow...watching her develop. It's going to be hard to leave her in just a few weeks. ...
Two Month Favorites!
1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 It's hard to believe how quickly time is passing by. The other day I was going through my iPhone camera roll just marveling at how tiny Harper was when she was born and today I look over to see my beautiful, growing girl. Below is a list of items I've been loving for Harper lately... Aiden ...
Family Brunch
On Saturday, we took Harper out for her first "official" outing. Kevin and I ate lunch at Hungry's in Rice Village and then we walked around for a bit with Harper in her stroller. Unfortunately, it had just rained and it was so humid, sticky and hot outside that we couldn't really stay out for very long because it was uncomfortable. Harper ...
Harper’s Newborn Photo Album
I used TinyPrints.com to create Harper's birth announcements, so when Shutterfly (owned by TinyPrints) was offering a special on their photo books I jumped at the chance to create one. I selected the "Baby Black & White" style album which has a chalkboard theme like our birth announcements. I love the little embellishments you can add ...
What’s in My Diaper Bag: 0-3 Months
I thought it would be fun to share what's in my diaper bag for Harper for the first few months. I think what's in your diaper bag will evolve a bit as your baby grows, so this will be from 0-3 months. My diaper bag is the Marc by Marc Jacobs Pretty Nylon Eliza diaper bag. I absolutely love it and I'm thrilled that it can be used later as a gym ...
Your Yearly Skin Check: Why You Should Book Your Appointment Today
Each year, I write a post reminding everyone to get their skin checked. Why? Because skin cancer rates are higher than ever before and younger and younger women and men are being affected. Research suggests that people who start using tanning beds under the age of 35 increase their risk of malignant melanoma (skin cancer) by 75 ...

Always Pretty.” The video below shows a casual weekend look using minimal makeup to achieve a polished face that's quick and easy. You may remember I shared my five minute makeup ...
