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 ...

Today I attended a special brunch hosted by Angeli from Six Twenty, a new website that's the ultimate destination for designer quality essentials without the middleman mark-up. Six Twenty offers a carefully crafted selection of women’s basics, featuring high quality, chic essentials, available year-round. It was the first time I had ...
First Night Out
Last night was the first time I went out at night with friends since having Harper. We've had plenty of people come visit us at the house but up until now I just wasn't really ready to go out for the night (plus, my surgery kind of set me back recovery-wise and I've been pretty tired). I attended a going-away party for one of my co-workers ...
My Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Picks!
It's about this time every year that we start to regret saying "I can't wait for summer!" as we realize that summer, for many of us, means sweltering heat, humidity and AC on, 24/7. As we start wishing and hoping for fall to come sooner rather than later, Nordstom gives us a little mid-summer pick-me-up with their annual Anniversary Sale that ...
Maternity Leave Essentials
1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 I have 12 weeks off to be with my baby before I return to work and I've found myself gravitating towards the same products and the same outfits for the last seven weeks so I thought I'd share some of my favorites with y'all. Sally Hanson Salon Care Roller Clips I use these ...
