I had the opportunity to have some maternity photos shot by one of the photographers at work in our home and I'm excited to share them with you! I recommend having maternity photos taken because it's such a special time to capture in your life. You may not look or feel your best when you're pregnant, but working with a photographer you're ...
A Cropped Denim Jacket
I haven't owned a denim jacket in a long time but suddenly I was craving one. I wanted something lightweight for summer and a darker denim (though I love the light ones too!) I was browsing at Nordstrom last week and saw a really cute denim jacket on display and decided to try it on just for fun. It was reasonably priced at $69 ...
Creating a Date Night Look with Almay’s Smart Shade Mousse Makeup
Now that we're in the home stretch of my pregnancy, my husband and I have been spending a lot of time getting ready for baby. One thing everyone told us is to make sure to go on a few date nights before the baby comes. I think that's such great advice, because your life as a couple is about to dramatically change as you bring a new life ...
37 weeks! FULL TERM
I was so blown away by all of the thoughtful and sweet comments on my last pregnancy update post---thank you so much to all of you who took the time to leave a comment or email me about your breastfeeding experience. It was so nice to hear from mommas in similar situations to me and I'm so glad to have gotten so much encouragement and support from ...
Pregnancy Favorites
Now that I'm just two and a half weeks away from my due date, I thought it would be a good time to share my pregnancy favorites. I'll start with skincare because it's the first thing I changed when I got a positive pregnancy test. My two favorite skincare products have been Belli's acne control spot treatment and Belli's eye brightening ...
36 weeks!
I'm sorry this week's post is so late! I've been really tired this week and didn't have the energy after work to finish this post. Last week, my husband and I attended a breastfeeding class at the hospital where I'll deliver. Since becoming pregnant (and even before then) breastfeeding was very important to me (and still is). I ...
35 Weeks!
Today marks the 36th week of my pregnancy and it feels surreal to know that today, May 1st, will mark the baby's birth month (unless she's late and arrives in June). It has been such a pleasure to document each week and share my thoughts and feelings with all of my wonderful readers. I love reading your feedback and reading about your own ...
Spring Wish List
A lot of my readers have requested that I share a spring/summer wish list and though I'll be rocking yoga pants and tanks most days during my leave once the baby comes, there are a few items I've been craving and I even made a few purchases over the weekend. Now that I'm in my ninth month of pregnancy, I'm finally at the point where I feel like I ...
DIY: Transform Your Baby Shower Cards into Nursery Art!
When I was thinking about DIY projects I wanted to make for our baby girl's nursery, I had an idea one day while driving to work and I'm excited to share with you the final result. I love receiving cards and I always find myself keeping them in a box or drawer somewhere and never looking at them again. I love the memories they represent and ...
34 Weeks!
I had my first NST (non stress test or fetal monitoring) this Tuesday and it was an interesting experience. As soon as the nurse hooked me up to the monitor she said "wow, you're having contractions! Can you feel those?" I was taken by surprise because I wasn't really feeling anything. After about 20 minutes or so the nurse told ...
