Happy Monday! Hope everyone had a great weekend! I’m excited to be sharing one of the most highly requested gift guides this year: gifts for all the men in your lives. I always find guys to be some of the hardest people to shop for, so I’m always super eager to hear other people’s ideas and check out gift guides for new ideas each holiday season…
Read MoreHey friends! I’m super excited about today’s post because not only does it feature my two very favorite people in the whole world, but I’m also going to share a super cool bag that would make a really great gift this Christmas season, so keep reading…
Read MoreI cannot believe our sweet Kennedy is TWO months old (as of this past Saturday). On one hand, time with her is just flying and at the same time, we can hardly remember life before she joined us. The past couple of weeks have been so much fun, as she has started smiling and cooing all the time. She’s just the very best thing and still a wonderful eater and sleeper. We feel very lucky…
Read MoreHey there! You don’t normally hear from me on Tuesdays but today is perhaps my favorite day of Cyber Week and most certainly the most important, so I couldn’t pass it over. If you aren’t aware, today is called “Giving Tuesday”. Following the madness of Thanksgiving, Black Friday and Cyber Monday, Giving Tuesday kicks off the season of giving back during the holidays and end-of-year.
Read MoreHappy Cyber Monday to all! Not sure if yall took advantage of all the great deals this weekend (I know I did!) but today has even more amazing sales going on that are sure to make your holiday shopping a breeze! I got so much of our Christmas shopping done over the weekend and was able to save SO much, which feels amazing. Hoping to get a few more things checked off today while these deals last…
Read MoreHey friends! Happy Friday/Black Friday/day after Thanksgiving/my mama’s birthday… etc! ;) Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving celebrating with loved ones. If you’re anything like us, you’re probably still in a bit of a food coma from all the yummy eating yesterday haha. Truly, I’m sitting on my couch today, hanging with Kennedy and doing some Black Friday shopping as we have a very slow day…
Read MoreBlack Friday sales seem to start earlier and earlier each year and since so many of you expressed interest and plans of shopping this week/weekend, I wanted to create one post with all the sale details you’ll need for the days to come. It will continually be added to and updated as things change this week, so be sure to refer back to this post!
Read MoreHappy Monday and yay for a short week. Not sure what yall have planned for the big holiday, but we are excited to stay in town and introduce Kennedy to a lot of new family members who are coming to visit! :)
Read MoreHappy Friday! I’m so excited to be sharing this year’s first holiday gift guide with y’all today. There was an overwhelming response to see stocking stuffer ideas first, so your wish is my command!
Read MoreI wasn’t sure how much of this I would share but after a lot of requests and several questions about labor and delivery, here we are! Overall, the entire process was extremely positive and one of the most incredible and amazing experiences of my life. I do want to give fair warning that this post is very lengthy because I wanted to answer as many questions as possible all in one place for yall. Also sharing some fun, candid pics from that day and the first few hours of her life. All the pictures we have were taken by Michael or family members, so they’re very raw and personal. Enjoy…
Read MoreHappy Friday, friends! Thanks to all the input I got on my Instagram stories polls earlier this week, I got a lot of great feedback on what y’all want to see this holiday season. One of those things was holiday outfit inspiration, so today you’re getting some ideas on what to wear for Thanksgiving (which is less than two weeks away!?!?)
Read MoreWe are one month into parenthood over here and I feel like I can finally share some things that have been favorites around our house the last few weeks. If we’re being honest, though, there are about a zillion things that we’ve tried/used this first month, so I’m going to narrow it down to our top 10 list (in no particular order)! I’m also thinking this would be a fun monthly post to make into a series, as I’m sure we will be changing our opinions and discovering new things each and every month with her.
Read MoreI’m so excited to finally share this precious little room we’ve put together for our sweet girl! I had so much fun working in here and find myself spending countless hours sitting in this glider these days just waiting for her arrival…
Read MoreFall is by far my favorite season and there’s something so beautiful about a fall wedding. It’s why we got married in November! :) I love all the colors and styles you can choose from this time of year, and while we have no weddings on our horizon the next couple months, I thought it’d be fun to roundup some great options for yall…
Read MoreHappy Monday, friends! We had the best weekend enjoying weather that actually resembled the start of fall (!!) and we got these gorgeous pictures back from our recent maternity session with Lisa Hessel Photography. If you’re in St. Louis and looking for a photographer, I urge you to talk to Lisa! She is SO talented and does the most beautiful work…
Read MoreI’m currently 36 weeks (as of yesterday) and thanks to my doc, we are now in full on “be prepared for anything to happen” mode haha. He’s expecting her arrival to be ahead of her due date, so we’re very much living each day on our toes and ready for anything…
Read MoreI had my last baby shower over the weekend and we’re now tying up all the loose ends of what we got, what needs to be returned, what we’re missing, and making sure everything is in place for baby K’s arrival in the next 2-4 weeks (!!)
One thing I’ve learned since being pregnant and being on the receiving end of gifts at a baby shower is that the best gifts are a mix of both fun and practical. I so appreciate all the adorable clothes and bows (just wait til you see her dressed up!) just as much as the Butt Paste, burp cloths, and nail clippers. Oh and I mustn’t forget diapers and wipes…
Read MoreWould you believe me if I told you there is a product available for rental that allows a pregnant mama to track her contractions from the comfort of her own bed?! Well if the title of this blog post didn't give it away already (lol) the answer is YES!
Enter Bloomlife pregnancy tracker, the world's first clinically validated wearable contraction monitor. Hello, 2018…
Read MoreTime's a tickin unti this baby girl is here and I'd be lying if I didn't admit that I wish I was able to shop for fall clothes (for my normal size) right now haha. Fall is my FAVORITE time of year in terms of weather and fashion, so I'm for sure eyeing a ton of pieces. The one really good thing about fall/winter is that many of the tops and sweaters in style these days are oversized and loose, which will be a huge blessing six weeks from now when I've got a postpartum bod…
