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 ...
Baby Shower #2
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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
