    Postpartum Week 1: Must-Haves for Mom and Baby!

    Hi y’all! We welcomed our sweet Kenna one week ago and have been in newborn bliss, which is a mix of cuddles, exhaustion, dirty diapers, sore boobs, stretching ourselves between all 3 kids and all of the fun things postpartum healing come with. WE ARE SO BLESSED THOUGH and wouldn’t change any of it. Below is some information from our sweet Kenna’s birth for background information to the round-up of all the products we’ve used in the first week of having a newborn. Remember, the first week doesn’t require much since the baby either eats, sleeps, pees or poops. Having your space prepared and ready with products, such as nipple…

  • 10+ Things I Love for Pregnancy

    Hi y’all! I’m currently 23 weeks pregnant (!!!!) and figured that it was a perfect time to jot down some of my favorite things for pregnancy. Enjoy 💛 Pregnancy Things I Love Rest Sound Machine: this does wonders for sleep regardless of being pregnant or not 😉 the one I linked (Hatch Restore) includes sounds, meditation, alarms and night light. There is also this more affordable option from the same brand. Pregnancy Pillow: talk about the coziest sleep ever! Pregnancy pillows help with pregnancy aches, propping your leg and supporting the belly. Foot Massager: again, we had this before I was pregnant but I ESPECIALLY love it while I’m growing…

  • Trip to Sedona | 4-Day Itinerary

    Hi, y’all! Bryan and I took a babymoon + 30th birthday celebration trip to Sedona, Arizona Friday through Tuesday the weekend before Thanksgiving. You know how sometimes vacations aren’t relaxing?? This one was 100% relax and recharge. Oh and the weather during November there is BEAUTIFUL – cool, crisp and sunny. Keep reading for what we did each day 🙂 OUR TRIP Friday We flew into Phoenix early afternoon and grabbed a bite at The Vig. They had a scenic patio with greenery all around and a variety of seating available. The food was delicious and I’m sure the cocktails are great too (I was 12 weeks pregnant so I…

  • Surviving Summer at Home with Kids – Toddler Activities and Daily Routine Included!

    Heyyy, y’all! I’ve been home for summer with the kids and WHEW! Obviously, I parent my kids every single day no matter how much time I spend at home with them BUT it’s a sh*t ton of work to actively engage them all day. I’m pretty sure that most days it’s 200% more work than my 8-4 job. I set myself up for success this summer with a daily routine and toddler activities for at home. Some activities take more effort, some are easy-peezy, some are messy – ALL create memories and keep those little minds curious. Daily Routine for Summer This is a LOOSE schedule. Actually, I wouldn’t even…

  • Weekend on the Bay and in Galveston

    Hi, y’all! I hope you had an amazing weekend! We spent the weekend with friends on the bay and it was amazing to hang out by the water with a Leinenkugel’s® Summer Shandy® (literally my new favorite summer beer) in my hand. My Summersalt swimsuit arrived just in time for the weekend and it was so cute. I was nervous about the one-strap style since that doesn’t always work for a larger chest and I give it an 8/10 after wearing it all day. The swimsuit doesn’t get a perfect score because I had to readjust multiple times… and it also came down a bit when I dove into the…

  • PAW PATROL PARTY // Happy 3rd Birthday, Emmett!!

    Hi, y’all! Last week our girl turned THREE and we got to celebrate her this weekend with friends and family. This birthday has been extra special because it’s the first birthday that she has been SUPER aware of. SERIOUSLY. She has been talking about her birthday since February! I have no idea where she is learning to be a diva about her birthday hahaha! This was not our first rodeo for at-home birthday parties and every one has been pretty simple and similar by decorating with a balloon garland, creating a spread with food that’s both easy to eat and kid-friendly, stocking up the beer and wine, throwing on some…

  • Happy New Year!

    Hey, y’all, heeey! Happy New Year! I hope you had the best time with your family and friends over the holiday break. I was off for two whole weeks and just stayed home with the babies. No daycare. No traveling. Just us hanging out and recharging – it was glorious, chaotic, a headache some days and the best thing ever all wrapped into one. My parents visited with us and we still have a couple more Christmases to go with Bryan’s side. This time of the year is truly the best. I mean don’t get me wrong, it makes my head spin but I love the festive fellowship that comes…
