Today, I'm sharing a new video via BlogHer and Almay featuring Kate Bryan of The Small Things Blog showing us how to get a pretty look for a girl's night out (and she uses one of my favorite glosses---Almay's Color+Care Liquid Lip Balm in the color "blooming") I hope y'all enjoy her tutorial! Have a great Tuesday and enjoy this shortened week! ...
Outfits This Week…
Today when I got in my car after work, the outside temperature was 104 degrees. I am OVER summer. Bye bye, seriously. I am ready for layers and not sweating profusely on my way home. I'm driving our other car right now since our SUV is the only one that has a car seat (our car will have one soon, we just ordered it and will have it ...
Guest Posting on Strawberry Swing: How Becoming a Mom Changed My Relationship with My Own
Today, I'm guest posting over on Erinn's blog Strawberry Swing and Other Things as part of her "Girl Moms" series. I was honored to be a part of it and I'm sharing a very personal post about how becoming a mom changed my relationship with my own mom. Check it out, here. I also wanted to say thank you to everyone who commented about ...
Harper: Three Months Old
Last month, I said that time was passing by too quickly and I still feel the same way. I can't believe Harper is three months old. This past month was full of so many milestones and I'm just in awe of how she's growing and developing. I go through phases of thinking she looks huge some days and tiny on others. She is definitely chunking up nicely ...
Baby Girl Style from Joules USA (adorableness within!)
I was contacted recently by a company called Joules to check out their baby clothes. As soon as I clicked the link to check out their selections for baby girls, I swooned over the entire collection. The company, based out of the UK, has the most adorable outfits for little girls---I picked items from both the rose blossom collection and the pony ...
A Posh Party
Last Thursday night, I slipped into my trusty Parker dress and put on a pair of heels I had never worn before and when all was said and done I looked in the mirror and was all "who is THIS girl?" It was a funny feeling getting all dressed up after months of wearing nothing but comfy shorts, tees and flip flops (hello maternity leave!) The ...
First Day Back…
My first day back at work went well. It was a short day and it was nice to see all of my co-workers. I'm so lucky to have such great friends at work and a few even gave me welcome back cards and wrote notes on my white board, it was so sweet. I think I haven't had a meltdown yet because I know Harper is being cared for by her daddy and she ...
Back to Work Tomorrow
This is a post that's difficult for me to write because like most new mothers, I'm devastated that I have to go back to work tomorrow. Twelve weeks just doesn't seem like enough time. You're just settling into motherhood and your baby is looking at you, smiling at you, rolling over and starting to grasp toys---and it's so exciting to watch your ...
My Updated Breastfeeding Story & Why I Exclusively Pump
I really wanted to write this post as a follow-up to my original breastfeeding journey post because I want to offer support to other moms who may be going through the same thing. But before I get started, I wanted to share with you a movement called "I Support You," created by three bloggers---Mama by the Bay, Fearless Formula ...
Sip N’ See
On Sunday, my friend Bethany hosted a little sip n' see for some of our friends so everyone could meet Harper. A true southern belle, she showed up at my house and in 15 minutes transformed my kitchen island into a pretty area for sips and treats. That beautiful beverage dispenser (monogrammed with an "R") was a sweet gift from Personal ...
