First of all, can I just say, it’s super weird to 1. be talking about pregnancy stuff 2. be talking about pregnancy stuff FROM EXPERIENCE! Say whaaaaa…. crayzay. Anywho, while its fresh in my mind, I wanted to look back and reflect on the things I discovered that helped me survive the first trimester. I’m now 26 weeks, closer to being in my third trimester

I got a little tired of my regular mascara and decided to try something fresh this new year, but oh where to start?! So I posted this photo on Insta asking what new mascara I should try out next: Y’all had so many great suggestions! I had NO idea where to start though, there were so many to choose from…  After spending a little too

I had very grand plans of taking weekly update pics and then posting them monthly. Yet here I am in week 25 and haven’t done that at. all. I still don’t want to miss out on remembering this fun time though, so I’m going to start with a holiday preggo “bumpdate” in hopes of doing them monthly from here on out :). Here’s how Baby

I’m officially in the crazy pregnant lady nesting phase (sorry hubs). I have a lot of grand plans for our little girl’s nursery, even though I know she’ll be bedside in our room for quite awhile in the beginning.  While thinking through what little miss’s nursery should look like, I quickly found that I’m really NOT into all the pastels, flowers, rainbows, overly glitzy, girlie

Happy 2015!!! I can’t believe 2014 is already behind us and that this is the year that our baby girl will be arrive in April!  My morning yesterday started out perfect when the house was quiet and I took a bit of time to reflect on the year, get in reading my favorite magazine and sipped a little tea under my coziest blanket. This little

I hope everyone had a merry, merry Christmas! I know we did here in SC!  Now that I’m almost at the six month mark in my pregnancy (two more days, eek!), I’m finding it harder and harder to stick to my normal, everyday clothes – hello maternity jeans and cinched waisted shirts! Yet when the Nordstrom after Christmas sale rolled around today and I saw

Ryan and I love getting into the Christmas cheer and who doesn’t love a tacky Christmas party?! So when we realized we would find out Baby’s gender the day before we were looking at throwing a party, we decided to make it a joint celebration. Tacky Christmas and gender reveal may seem like a funny combo, but in the end it all came together and

Hi friends! Gosh it feels good to be back! Not just back on the blog, but feeling back to life :).  In case you missed the news… That’s riiiggghhhhtttt, we’re PREGNANT! And we’re counting down the weeks to April 19th, although they’re flying by a little too fast if you ask me.  Pregnancy is such an amazing experience and it’s so cool to track week

PLANNNING!!!!! Gah just saying the word brings me joy. I love to plan, make lists, get organized, make dedicated Pinterest boards, ya know all that fun stuff. Yet using my phone as my go-to calendar and planner, while convenient, was just a little lack luster. Enter the Erin Condren Life Planner. Now, don’t get me wrong, I love a Lilly agenda just as much as

Y’all know how much I love a celebration! So a whole weekend dedicated to celebrating one of my best gal pals for her bachelorette in Tybee Island, GA had me over the moon!  I couldn’t help but get giddy over the thought of games, gifts, pink, lace, feathers and fun while we were planning the bachelorette festivities. Mikael is such a special friend and I
