white this way

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.

i’m feeling blue

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.

when outfit inspiration finds you

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.

eggs and bunnies

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.

pregnancy update | 27 weeks

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...

my very favorite maternity jeans

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.

spring forward

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.
