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 ...

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 ...
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 ...
Weekend…
This morning H and I went to Precious Glance Ultrasound for our second attempt at a 3D view of our little girl. Baby girl was a little more cooperative this time and we got a few good shots of her face. It was a cool experience and I definitely recommend it to parents-to-be if you'd like to get another peek at your little one after your 20 ...
Our Weekend: Nursery Updates, IKEA Trip & More
Our morning started off early---with the nursery chandelier and curtains installed at 8:30 a.m. followed by a trip to Rice Village to pick up our glider. I'm so thrilled with how the nursery looks right now. It's such a beautiful, serene space. I think it's actually turning out better than I had imagined as it all comes together---and it's ...
25 weeks!
Week 25 was great because we got a lot accomplished for the nursery. We ordered our crib, bedding and curtains (I had waited until there was another sale at Restoration Hardware Baby & Child before we made additional purchases). I can't wait to share everything with you all as it all comes in, but I'll save that all for some nursery ...
Weekend Shopping & Some Outfits Lately
I had a brief work-related event to attend this morning and then I hit the village to use my GAP coupon. It was sent in the mail and gives you 40% off of a single item and 30% off of your entire purchase (including sale items) when you pay with your Visa card. Score! I picked up a few items for our sweet little girl. As I mentioned in a previous ...
Weekend Updates
This morning I met with one of my friends for a lovely brunch at Sweet Paris. I had a Bonne Mama crepe with four berry jam and a side salad with strawberries. YUM! If you are in Houston, definitely check it out. They also have crepes with eggs, meat, etc. So delicious and the decor is really nice as well (think tufted bench seating and ...
22 weeks!
I haven't been blogging much lately. Things have been so busy at work that I'm typically pretty tired by the time I get home and ready to eat dinner, watch a couple of shows and go to bed. I love being busy at work though, so no complaints here. Even though I have four months left at work, I feel like I'm trying to get as much done as possible ...
Weekend Shopping & Baby’s Dresser Has Arrived
We had a pretty laid back Saturday, until I decided when we got home from lunch and running errands that we were going to empty out the nursery. Our day started off with our Restoration Hardware Baby & Child Haylan wide dresser and hutch being delivered (we got it for 20% off!). More on that later. Then, we went out for lunch and I ...
