The Four Seasons St. Louis

So this is not a post I was planning to write but I got SOOO many questions and comments about our mini staycation at the Four Seasons Hotel St. Louis that I figured I’d share info here for yall! If you missed it, I surprised Michael with a night away at the Four Seasons for his 30th birthday last week. It was a big birthday and I wanted to celebrate him in an extra special way AND it was our first night away from Kennedy, so that was a big deal, too haha…

Favorite Things: Ten Months

How our little angel is ten months old is beyond me! That means we’re just two months from her first birthday, which Lord knows I am not ready for! The last couple of months, in particular, have been so fun with Kennedy becoming mobile, starting to mimic some words, and just feel like a big girl instead of a little baby now. Time is moving so fast and she is constantly changing. Fun but heartbreaking all at the same time…

Check these fun drinks out and let me know if you try any…

Seven Tips for Finding a Balance With Social Media

Today I’m sharing this post alongside my friends Arin from Arin Solange at Home and Navy from Navy Berlin, plus some other gals as part of Arin & Navy’s fun Summer Blog Series. I’ve already participated in two other posts with these two this month if you’ve missed them… read my blogging journey here and my mom hacks here. This week’s topic is all about finding balance with social media, which is especially tricky when it’s part of your job, like it is for me. I am by no means an expert and haven’t figured it all out, but over the past few months, I’ve tried really hard to find a balance and set better boundaries with social media…

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2019: Everything You Need to Know

If you’re on Instagram and/or follow other bloggers, you have likely heard A LOT about the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale recently. So what’s the big deal? Well for starters, it is for sure my favorite sale of the entire year of any retailer. Why? It’s unlike any other sale because Nordstrom offers crazy good discounts on NEW merchandise. It’s basically a giant sale of all the new fall merch (not items that have already been for sale or on the shelves/racks of stores) for the upcoming season. No one else does a sale like this. It really is a big deal…

Walmart has so many affordable and adorable options in terms of clothing, home items, and now a brand new baby registry where you can get all the things you need…

Baby Sleep Tips From A Regular Mom

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been asked about Kennedy’s sleep and schedule over the last several months. I have to start by saying that 1) she is such a good baby! We are so blessed by her and honestly, she’s just been easy breezy so far… and 2) I’m not an expert!! (did you read the title of this post?!) I’m just a regular first-time mom trying to figure all this stuff out, too. I don’t know it all and I’m clearly not a medical professional or sleep specialist in any sense…
