My favorite high waisted jeans// Miami Beach

I have such a tough time finding the perfect pair of high waisted denim (don’t we all?!) I have a small waist, with hips so they usually either make me look wide, or fit awkwardly. When I found this pair, I felt like they were heaven sent! Let’s just say I am having to hold myself back from buying every single style that Urban Outfitters…

Ocean Drive, Miami

It feels so good to throw on my old favorites, these overalls! They were my go-to staple when I lived in Florida, and years later they’re still so easy to throw on. Having a baby totally strips my time to myself in the morning, so I’ve learned to minimize my wardrobe and make it easy to grab my favorite staples. In my opinion, everyone should…

Florida New Years!

We finally made it to Florida! We spent our New Years Eve at our best friends home – they live in the woods of a gorgeous state park in Jensen Beach, Florida. We sat around a bonfire, and were in bed by 12:01 after playing a game of Yahtzee… are we old?! haha. I think we are… I’ll be sharing more photos from Miami soon!…

Asheville, NC // Interchangeable Straps For Travel

Hello from Asheville, NC! We’ve been making our way down to Florida for a New Years Eve bonfire at our best friends’ house, with a few fun stops along the way. We spent a night in this adorable “moonbeam” cabin, cozied up by the fire. I absolutely love road trips, but the toughest part for me is packing light for the journey. I always want…

Snow Day Look

It doesn’t seem like it’s going to be a white Christmas, but luckily we did get to see some snow before we leave for Miami for a month! It was glorious, and we snapped these on the short walk into the diner (don’t worry, I didn’t freeze because I was not outside for too long!) By the way, yes we are heading to Miami right…

NYC Holiday Party Look

It feels so great to be able to get dressed up and head out for a night on the town again, after being uncomfortable and pregnant for what felt like forever! I’ve become a pro at wearing Hudson out, so we can still enjoy holiday parties & events, and he LOVES it and sleeps the entire time on me. The noise is so soothing for…

Choosing The One with Bugaboo

Bringing Hudson home from the hospital is a day I will never ever forget. I get teary eyed just thinking about it. It was November 9th, the morning after the presidential election results were announced. The sky was overcast, but the trees were beautiful fall colors outside of our hospital room window. As we drove home, my eyes were peeled on Hudson as I sat…

Baby Products I Can’t Live Without

One of the toughest parts of being a first time mom is figuring out everything you need, and what will work best in your lifestyle. Matt and I are do-ers – we like to travel light, and get out of the house as much as we can, so we knew our baby gear would have to reflect this. Here’s a list of the things that…

Cutting Our Own Xmas Tree

Last year we cut our own tree in upstate NY, but this year we wanted to find somewhere a bit closer to bring Hudson!

Hudson slept through the entire thing, but we’ll make sure to show him the pictures as proof that he…

NYC Holiday Shopping With Hudson & Uber

Everything becomes more challenging to accomplish with a newborn. There’s certain things I just know we’ll have to skip this year, like visiting the tree in Rockefeller center because of the crowds, but I am feeling super accomplished after tackling some holiday shopping with Hudson in tow! It was his first time in NYC, and we couldn’t have done it without the help of UberX.…

Red Hook, Brooklyn

I’ve been feeling comfortable enough to whip out the boob and adventure into the world with our baby boy. We changed him in the trunk of the car, I fed him on a bench in a park looking out at the statue of liberty, and this whole parenting thing is starting to get a little easier. Red Hook is one of our favorite places in…

Fresh Air & Fall Leaves w/ Rockport

Thanks to Zappos.com and Rockport for partnering on this post!  One of my biggest priorities after labor was to take care of myself and find the time to get dressed every day, and get out of the house. I know, maybe I am crazy for being unable to sit still in PJ’s, but I love this time of the year, and I hate the feeling…

Hudson’s Birth Story

It is hard to put the experience of laboring a baby into words, and while I am usually not sappy or overly maternal, the experience changed me. It changed my marriage. It changed my body. It changed my entire life. It’s something that was so difficult, but so worth it, and I couldn’t imagine living life not experiencing it. Here goes, here is my birth…

Last Post With Belly + Final Thoughts // 40 Weeks!

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…

Happy Halloween from Team Zissou!

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…

Pumpkin Carving // Baby Waiting + Updates

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…
