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 ...
Creating A “Pretty Little Liars” Inspired Hairstyle
Experimenting with new hair styles has me convinced that I need to try them more often. Every time I switch it up a little, I get lots of nice feedback from co-workers who are used to my same-old look everyday. It's so easy to get stuck in that rut of never trying something different because it's easier to just go on auto-pilot in the ...
DIY Nursery Artwork: Pretty Balloons
I really wanted a few of the artwork pieces in our baby girl's nursery to be hand made and I'm currently on my third piece so thought I would share a quick tutorial. You can see my DIY gold polka-dot piece here. This one was actually inspired by something I saw on Pinterest, but I went in another direction with mine: My finished ...
33 weeks
I had my 34 week appointment a day early this week and I mentioned to my OB some of my worries about the baby's movement. Some days she is so active that I wonder why I even worry...and other days I panic when I don't feel her for a few hours or feel very minimal movement throughout the day. My OB put me on a fetal monitor during my ...
Recent Purchases…
When my friend Heather was in town from Toronto over the weekend for my second baby shower, we had such a blast having some much-needed girl time and that included some shopping. Heather got some pretty great deals at the 290 Premium Outlets and I picked up a few items from Kate Spade---all were 40% off! The first item I purchased was ...
