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!
Earlier this week I was thinking about the meaning of Easter and how we’ve been talking with Annabelle about it. One thing we’ve stressed is that while Christmas, and the birth of our savior, is important – Easter is the real deal. There’s so much pomp and circumstance leading up to Christmas and it feels like Easter gets just a bit more than overshadowed. I’ve really been enjoying Christian music lately so I thought it would be fun to put together a playlist of a few of my favorite songs to really get into the Easter spirit.
Happy Friday, friends! I’m actually working from home today because Annabelle’s school is closed in observance of Good Friday. We’re getting very excited for Easter around here and we can’t wait to celebrate it’s true meaning, the resurrection of our Lord!
We went to our first Easter egg hunt last weekend and let me tell you, it was a hit! As the parent of a toddler you never really know how something new is going to go over. Usually when we plan something fun as a family it goes pretty well and everyone leaves happy and I’m thrilled to say making a mad dash for candy filled eggs in 40 degree weather was one of them.
Well friends, we’ve made it just about 2/3 of the way through this pregnancy. And by we I mean me because let’s be honest, I’ve been doing all of the work over here. Ken and I got away for a little staycation this weekend {more to come on that later this week} and it felt great to get out and spend a little time alone. Just Kenny, me, and this bunch of bananas in my belly. If you’d like to hear what’s been up with the bump over the past few weeks, read on…
A few weeks ago I was refilling my weekly pill organizers and I thought to myself, I wonder if other people would find this interesting? So I quickly documented which vitamins I take on a daily basis along with why I chose each one and shared it on Instagram stories. I got a ton of questions in response – which was amazing!
Let’s be honest – it’s hard enough to find good jeans when you’re not pregnant let alone finding a good pair for an ever changing, ever growing body. It’s something I’ve always struggled with in general {insert vivid memory of me crying in the junior department dressing room at Macy’s when I was 13 because I could not find one pair of jeans that fit me} and it’s why in my adult years I’ve definitely been drawn to dresses and skirts over jeans and pants. However, there are a lot of times when jeans are just the most practical option {like during a winter pregnancy, for example} and if you find yourself pregnant in almost any season you’re going to want a good pair of maternity jeans.
Hey friends! Can you believe we’ve almost made it through another week {and that it’s mid-March no less}? I’m feeling excited for next week as it marks three months until my due date but never wanting to get ahead of myself I’m actually VERY excited for this weekend! We had been debating on booking a babymoon for a few months but the timing just wasn’t working out. Instead of going on an adults only vacation {which is much needed, don’t get me wrong} we decided to plan a very last minute adventure with our little best friend. We’re leaving tomorrow so make sure you’re following along on Instagram to see where we’re headed!
I realize I’m getting a bit ahead of myself here what with nearly 14 weeks to go and all but there are actually ways you can start preparing your body for labor as early as your first trimester.
Hello fellow parents of toddlers who are riding the struggle bus the day after daylight saving time! Just remember, we are all in this together {even though we are probably suffering separately}. After trying to get Annabelle to fall asleep tonight FOR AN HOUR I raised the white flag and called in reinforcements {Ken}. Now I’m sitting on the couch with a ridiculously large piece of chocolate cake and feeling pretty good about myself. This is parenting, friends. When there’s not wine, there’s cake.
Happy Friday, pretty ladies! I’m writing this post from my couch and I don’t think I’ll be moving much from here all night. Unfortunately I’m having a ton of lower back pain that doesn’t seem to be letting up – I had my first chiropractic adjustment today and I’m going back on Monday so hopefully I’ll feel some relief soon! In the meantime, if someone could bring me a snack that would be great. Lucky for you I did manage to get dressed for work everyday this week so here’s a quick recap of my outfits.
I have been buying so many things from H&M lately – their quality is on point and I’m really aligned with all of the trends they’re featuring for both women and girls. Since they have a huge buy more/save more sale going on right now {up to 30% off and free shipping!} I wanted to round up a few of my favorite items including tons of things I actually own myself!
Well friends, let me introduce you to my 6 month pregnant belly {and my blindingly white legs}. Despite the snow that just refuses to melt I’ve started to transition my wardrobe to spring in a major way. I also have been doing some major spring cleaning around our house and I’m getting eager to get started on the nursery. We still have some time but I’m not so secretly hoping the next few months fly by because I’m getting so excited to meet this little babe!
Nothing says spring is near more than a chic gingham print. Ok maybe actual spring weather helps too but stick with me here – gingham, friends!
Happy Friday! The flu hit our house last weekend but luckily it didn’t hold us down for long. With the exception of Monday we’ve been up {and dressed} all week! Here’s a little peek into what I wore to work this week.
Oh hey, friends! It’s been a busy week over here so I’m just getting to sharing my 23 week pregnancy update now. We’re hoping to get caught up on blog stuff this weekend so I promise I’ll have some fun stuff around these parts next week. In the meantime, here’s a little update on my pregnancy.
