This post has been very much requested, but I also LOVED that I created one for my first pregnancy, and referred back to it in packing my hospital bag for this time around. I also watched some vlogs, and remember my past experience of what I wish I had packed VS what I packed and did not need. The first time around, I packed SUPER…
“Baby number two” is such a hot button topic. I almost feel like I am beating a dead horse by writing this, because I’ve talked about this topic SO MANY TIMES, including in a video explaining why we didn’t rush into having a second baby, this post and this one, but I’ve had a lot of moms lately asking how we knew we were ready,…
I am SO SO excited to finally share baby #2 nursery! If you missed Hudson’s reveal back in the day, you can see it here. I found connecting to baby 2 during pregnancy to be much more difficult, mostly because I’m always so focused on Hudson! BUT, planning his nursery gave me the ability to focus on him, and creating a space that he and…
Decorating the house for holidays is one of my favorite things (obviously) – there’s some holidays I take to the next level (Halloween haha) but for Valentines day, I love to just add a few special touches to make it feel festive, like some roses, heart pillows, and by baking some heart shaped cookies in the kitchen. I think it helps Hudson to remember and…
Never did I ever think I’d see myself pouring milk into my bathtub, and then getting into it. If you told me 5 years ago this would be a thing, I’d tell you that you were a liar! BUT, I’ve seen these photos around the internet, and as weird as it is, the photos come out absolutely stunning, so I figured Sea and I could…
If you’ve been around here for a while, you’ve probably noticed that I share “shopping collages” on most weeks. I love rounding up my favorite fashion finds from around the web, and I love seeing you all shop off of my faves! For full transparency, there was a point where I would sit and create all of the collages, but now our system looks a…
BEFORE: I am SO so excited to finally share everybody’s favorite bathroom, our guest bathroom! It took me so long to finally style it and shoot it, mostly because it is frequently in use and does not look styled like this! But I really wanted to get the photos up before the baby comes, and talk about our process in renovating this space, since it…
I asked you all on instagram what kinds of baby type posts you’d be interested in seeing before I give birth (IN 6.5 WEEKS OMG!) and I got a lot of the standard ‘what’s in you hospital bag’ type questions, but I loved this question the most, and wanted to cover it first. Hindsight is always 20/20, and raising baby #1 VS baby #2 is…
I can remember as a rebellious teenager hating our families’ alarm system. My mom would diligently set it every night, and on nights I wanted to sneak out to hangout with friends, I would have to leave a window or a door cracked to trip the system – yes, I was not exactly a rule follower. But now as an adult with 1 toddler and…
I wanted to write an “old-school style” blog post to document our babymoon, and have a ton of the photos we snapped live in one place. While we visited Miami, we toyed with the idea of flying somewhere for a few days to get away before the baby (since both of our parents live in South Florida and could watch Hudson for us!) but we…
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!! I cannot believe this year is over, it FLASHED by. Every year I love to sit down at the end of the year, and wrap up with a look back on the year. It gives such nice closure to something as large and intangible as a ‘year in time’ and I also love to look back year to year on my final…
2010 I wanted to sit down and take the time it takes to write out this post, for myself to look back on, but also for anyone who is starting off this next decade possibly a bit lost, insecure, and generally down and out. I wanted to share my personal story, because for me, this past decade CHANGED EVERYTHING. I really can’t emphasize it enough.…
WOW so somehow, here were are – the 2nd trimester came and went SO quickly, and I am not just saying that as a hindsight kind of thing, it truly did blow by in the blink of an eye. If you’re curious in seeing my 2nd trimester post with Hudson, you can read about it here! I think it mainly felt extra sped up because…
Anyone paying attention to the influencer space has noticed that #ad and #sponsored increases significantly during the holiday season (and as I’ll discuss, even weeks before it even starts!) Some bloggers don’t acknowledge this increase (I personally choose not to) while others choose to preface the season by saying that there may be an uptick in sponsored posts, but it’s all brands that they’re excited…
The season for holiday decor IS FINALLY HERE!!! I am not going to lie, I started to slowly decorate a week or two before Thanksgiving, but I finally feel like I am at a point where I’m happy with how the house looks, and ready to share! I get asked a lot how we store everything, and I just store most of our holiday decor…
It’s that time of the year when I start to see comments popping up on instagram photos asking “Aren’t you cold in that??” The truth is, usually YES! I was thinking about it the other day as I was gearing up to shoot on a snow day outside on my front stoop – I usually don’t show that side of the blog, and I couldn’t…
I CANNOT believe this week I am 26 weeks pregnant! I can remember back in July thinking I’d be sooo far along by the time Thanksgiving and the holidays ca†me around, and it flew by so quickly. It doesn’t feel like it’s been “as hard” as it was when I was pregnant with Hudson, but maybe I am just busier, or more used to it…
If you’ve followed along since Hudson, you may remember this post. I wrote it at around 29 weeks pregnant, so granted maybe my mind will change in the next few weeks. I am officially 25 weeks pregnant as of this week, and I have to say, I do not hate pregnancy the same way I hated it the first time around. I don’t LOVE IT,…
SO NOW THAT THE SECRET’S OUT, I am sure you’re all wondering the gender of our baby as much as we were! I personally would have waited the entire pregnancy to find out, because this is my last baby(I’m 80% sure) and I loved the idea of the suspense, but Matt thought that was a crazy crazy idea, so I decided to meet halfway and…
Here it is! My SPOOKY Halloween living room! Yes, I realize I am doing the most this year by transitioning from Fall to Halloween, but honestly by swapping out just a few things, it feels more like a “Halloween” space. The reason I didn’t link any of the pieces I added is because they’re all from Homegoods, so you just have to head into the…
