I was laying in bed last night {with both babies, because Annabelle fell asleep in our bed and the other one is never too far from me if you know what I mean} and I thought to myself, I can’t believe God has made me a mama – TWICE! And then I instantly felt a little sad for all of the women who are struggling with their motherhood journey.
The weeks are flying by and it’s crazy to think there are less than 7 weeks until my due date! Fun fact: I was actually born at 33 weeks while my mom and dad were on vacation in Northern Michigan. When I think about the fact that there’s a “me sized” baby in my belly – wow! Here’s the latest with baby number two this week.
If there’s one thing I’ve been doing throughout our house over the last few months it’s organizing! Between spring cleaning and nesting, the bump and I can barely keep up over here going from space to space.
If you’re still looking for the perfect Mother’s Day gift {or perhaps want to send some ideas to the person who might be in shopping for you}, you’ve come to the right place! I’ve rounded up my favorite gifts in a few different categories – and everything is under $100!
There’s just something so classic and simple about a white dress. It’s always a chic look and in the case of this one since it’s non-maternity it works for every stage of motherhood. Especially for that awkward postpartum phase when you don’t want to wear anything too tight fitting.
One of the fun things about not finding out the gender of your baby before it’s born is that people are usually shocked and excited when they hear that you don’t know what you’re having. It seems rare these days that people wait it out but speaking from experience it is truly the best surprises you will ever have.
Bonjour! Welcome to The Modern Mère, a chic guide to motherhood. I’m so happy you’re here!
Another week closer to meeting our sweet babe! Things are definitely starting to feel more real over here.
I’m not actually feeling blue. To be honest, I’m feeling really happy and productive lately. Leave it to the third trimester of pregnancy to surprise you sometimes.
As much as I’d like to claim that my style is 100% unique it is most definitely not. For me, fashion inspiration comes from everywhere {the weather, my mood, sometimes even practicality} including the stores I shop at and the brands I love.
Before I get too far into this post I’d like you to know that we took these pictures at about 6pm after a full day of wearing this white shirt and I didn’t spill anything on it. Just want to make sure I recognize the true miracle that happened here today, #blessed. Ok, on to this weeks pregnancy update!
If we had to pick a favorite meal of the day in our house it would be whichever one involves cereal which to be honest could be any of them or all of them in the same day.
I have a serious place in my heart for pink and with spring upon us there’s no better time to refresh your wardrobe with my favorite hue.
You know that saying when life gives you lemons, make lemonade? Well the same sort of thing goes for spring in Michigan. When life gives you winter weather in April, go find somewhere warmish and wear your new spring clothes, girl!
A few weekends ago Ken and I were invited to stay at The Graduate Hotel in Ann Arbor. Never being one to turn down the opportunity for a night away I jumped at the chance and couldn’t wait to spend a little time in one of our favorite cities.
Happy Monday! Hope your Easter was hoppin’! I was going to skip doing an update this week since I’m up to my ears in other {probably} more important things but it’s the third trimester and I’ve always been a really good procrastinator so what the heck, here goes!
