… and just like that, life will never ever be the same again. Hudson David Degreff | 8 lbs 7 ounches & 21 inches Born on November 7th at 11:40 am I can’t really think of the right words to describe what it feels like to become a mom. It’s so overwhelmingly beautiful, and the love I feel for my husband and my baby is…
* Paid for by Refinery29 and Hallmark Keepsake Ornaments A few years back, Matt and I decided to pack a carry-on, fly cross-country to California, and rent a VW van to roadtrip & live in to celebrate the holiday season. It’s my favorite holiday adventure to date, and we dream of repeating it all the time. We named our VW “Sunny Delight” and spent Christmas Eve…
Pregnancy is weird. I wasn’t ever the kind of person who felt like I had maternal instincts, or like my life would revolve around becoming a mom, but I admit I did wonder how my own story would be written, and how I would look with this belly on me. Would we find out we were expecting out of the blue, or would we plan…
We said we wanted to be Team Zissou all year, so I had to make it happen! One of my favorite things is DIY halloween costumes (see other years here, here, here and here) and this one probably took the longest of any I’ve made. I thrifted the actual clothing, and then made the patches with felt & puffy paint. All of the blue detailing…
Tomorrow is my due date, and here we are still waiting. We went to the doctor on Thursday, and I was told if I was having contractions they would send me to labor & delivery (and I knew that I was having some, just was not sure if they were Braxton Hicks or the real thing). Turns out it was false labor. I had my…
Instagram engagement is one of the biggest hot-button topics for bloggers and social media managers who are looking to run their feeds professionally. For work, we use a management platform called AgoraPulse, which allows us to keep an eye on incoming comments from Facebook, Twitter and instagram and comment back. I’ve been wanting to find something similar, but less expensive, to use for my blog,…
It’s OFFICIALLY Halloween week! I pretty much wait for this week for the entire year, and I am so excited it’s here. Who knows where I’ll be (possibly in labor & delivery) but I still took a day to make a costume for Matt, baby and I and I’ll be sharing it soon. The leaves are in full swing, and I’ve been wearing all of…
Hey all of you mama’s out there who are waiting for baby & just as bored as I am… this list is for you! It took me a bit to figure out how to spend some time off without traveling (because who takes vacation and stays home, right?!) but I came up with this list, and I hope it helps you! It definitely kept me…
Thanks to Zappos.com and Kamik for partnering on this post! With beautiful Fall in full swing, and Winter right around the corner, it’s my favorite time of the year to step outside! The weather is BEAUTIFUL, and there’s leaves everywhere. It’s pure heaven, especially since i’m pretty uncomfortable and super pregnant (39 weeks!) I was definitely in the market for a stylish pair of boots…
Being that I’m 38 weeks pregnant, on maternity leave and just trying to get this baby out of me, I’ve been going on tons of walks! Walking for me can get a bit boring, but I’ve been passing the time by listening to podcasts. I find that they entertain me and also teach me about things I would never ever know or inquire about! Here’s…
Before the baby arrives, it’s tough to personalize their space. There’s no pictures of them, except for ultrasound pictures, so I had a hard time adding a little bit of him to his room! Once we took our maternity photos, I knew I wanted to include a few, so he could look around and see some personalized pictures of his family in his space. I…
We usually make a full-day adventure out of getting a pumpkin, but this year we didn’t want to travel too far from home, but we still wanted to soak in some Halloween vibes. We went to this adorable nursery called Dee’s that is local, and we were blown away by A. how fall-inspired everything looked and B. how many fun little kids things they had…
FOR BABY: I tried to pack as light as possible for baby, because I’ve heard that the hospital provides most of the things he will need. Here’s what am bringing: – Diapers, just in case we need – Scratch mittens & socks – A few hats, including one I handmade and this adorable knit bear hat! – A Milkbarn fox swaddle blanket 3 outfits, one…
Here we are, with a baby that is considered “fully cooked”! They told me at the doctor this week that it could happen ANY TIME or in 5 weeks, and they honestly can’t really tell these things, so we’re just here waiting! I am so relieved to have hit this milestone now, knowing that he can come out and be okay today. It feels good,…
Just a day spent picking apples with my hubby. BTW on a whim I totally revamped the blog, and made everything a lot more searchable, like outfits, travel & home inspiration posts! Let me know how you like it! …
I am not going to lie, I am ready to get this baby out of me! With 25 days left to go, and only 8 days of work left, I am feeling super restless. Part of me wants to stay really busy just to pass the time, and the other part of me just wants to lay around all day like a lump because nothing…
The temperatures are finally low enough for jeans and sweaters, and I could not wait to bust out these insanely comfortable maternity jeans from Tilden. The biggest question I’ve received from all of you guys on IG is which maternity jeans I would recommend, since it’s so hard to find a pair that doesn’t make us feel huge and uncomfortable. I 100% think that buying…
Ever since I picked up this cardigan from UO, I’ve basically had it on repeat with every single outfit. I’ve been thinking of getting it in another color, but there’s so many to choose from that it overwhelms me! haha. So it’s the final countdown – 33 days until baby! I even made a countdown, if you feel like getting amped with me. I…
The countdown is on, with only a few weeks left in this pregnancy I am so excited that we had the chance to sneak away with Jennifer to snap these. My matt is not a big picture guy, he definitely prefers to be behind the lens, but LOOK HOW PHOTOGENIC HE IS! I am sure H will see these and be like “ew mom and…
