What an amazing weekend I've had! It all started on Thursday night when Heather arrived from Toronto. We immediately went out for delicious Mexican food (everyone who visits wants to do this first thing!) and then we spent the rest of the night relaxing and catching up. Friday morning, Heather and I headed to hotel ZaZa to visit the ...

If you checked out my blog over the weekend, you'll know that I had my first baby shower last Saturday, hosted by my mother-in-law's sweet friends! More excitement is coming up this week as my friend Heather just flew in from Toronto last night and my second baby shower is this Saturday. I can't wait to see everyone and to spend time with ...

I'm delighted to be hosting a great giveaway today---it's actually my first ever baby-product related giveaway (and it's a good one!)

A Hairstyle for Spring!
If you read my recent updated hair routine post, you know that I'm pretty set in my ways when it comes to my hair---I always wear my hair down at work and either blown-out or curled with a curling iron, depending on the day. When I saw the video below by It's Judy Time, I thought the braided headband look was really cute for spring. I was a little ...
Sunday Fun at the Park!
Today Meg from Meg O. On the Go, Michelle from The Vintage Apple and Magen from MMM Style and I all met up at the Houston Arboretum & Nature Center. The ladies had their little ones in tow and it was so fun to see them all---especially Michelle's little three and a half month old baby since I'm expecting so soon! Here's a shot ...
First Baby Shower!
Words can't express how blessed I'm feeling today. My mother-in-law's friends hosted a beautiful baby shower for me and I'm feeling so grateful for all of the incredible love and support we've received as we celebrated our impending bundle of joy. (The entire party!) I was so lucky to find the perfect baby shower dress---but I can't ...

I'm so lucky to have readers who are supportive, compassionate and willing to share their own experiences.

Recent Outfits
I'm not going to lie, I pretty much wear my GAP maternity skinnies everyday. I was starting to get back into wearing dresses and then another cold front hit and I just gave up. These days, I just wear what's comfortable (and warm!) and these pants have made dressing for pregnancy easy. They go with almost everything, they fit great and ...
30 Weeks!
I've mentioned before that I'm lucky to have access to infant care, infant CPR and other classes via the hospital I will be delivering at so it will be nice to have some hands-on instruction and advice from experts. But one thing no one can teach you, is how to be a parent. It's the most challenging role you'll ever take on in your life---and you ...
DIY Gold Polka-Dot Art: Perfect for a Nursery, Bedroom or Any Room!
I love DIY projects---especially ones that make a big impact for little cost. When I saw this piece of art on Pinterest awhile ago, I pinned it and had intended to replicate it for our master bedroom. But when I started to design our baby girl's nursery, I thought the whimsical polka dots would actually be perfect for the space since ...
