Outfits…
I wore my new BR bow skirt this week and I think I'm in love. Unfortunately, I was playing on the floor with Harper when I got home from work and when I spread my legs a bit to stand up, the front slit split and now I have to get it fixed---but I absolutely love it and can't wait to wear it again when it's all sewn up (I'd do it myself but I'm not ...
Our Saturday…
This Saturday, I was especially thankful for antibiotics. I left work on Wednesday afternoon feeling so terrible I don't know how I even made it through the morning. I don't get sick very often and I haven't taken a sick day in over a year. I hate missing work, but I also wouldn't want other to be exposed to what I have and in order to get better, ...
Trusting Your Instincts
I started to write this post from my hospital bed as I was recovering from a D&C surgery. This post is about trusting your instincts. Let me start from the beginning (and this post is very TMI, so if that's not your thing, I recommend skipping past this one). Postpartum, I had three tears and very heavy bleeding, which is to be ...
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 ...
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 ...
A Wrinkle in Time & A Very Special Young Girl- Help Her Birthday Wish Come True!
Oh linen. So perfect for the summer, yet so wrinkle-prone. What's a girl to do? Wear it anyway, I suppose. Does casual Friday mean "linen wrinkles permitted?" Probably not, but a girl can wish, no?For all of you Lulu fans---this post is for you :) and please read the end of this post, because I think the story will move and inspire ...
Weekend Shopping, Painting & Fitting Room Photos
Good morning! I'm up bright and early with the painters completeing the painting on our stairways and accent wall in the living room! By the way, we went with Benjamin Moore's "Revere Pewter" for our main living spaces and stairwells. I'm really happy with how it turned out---a very soft, light, subtle gray with no blue, purple or green ...
This Week…
I had a major event at work this week so blogging has taken a backseat---but I still wanted to do a little post for the weekend. First, let’s talk about my hair. Some of you may remember that the last time I had my hair colored, I went back to add more lowlights. This time around, my blonde pulled way too yellow and the highlights ...
OOTD: Neon Azalea & Polka Dots!
OMG! It's an outfit of the day post! These are rare these days, because, let's be honest, I've been re-wearing like five outfits over and over. I finally got back into the excitement of daily dressing and was delighted to style my new J.Crew No. 2 Pencil Skirt (in the color "Neon Azalea") I paired it with one of my Black Friday finds (haul ...
