Hi y’all! Last weekend we had the most amazing citrus-themed baby shower for our little Kaiser and I’m just so thankful for… well, everything! Thankful we could have the shower, thankful for our friends and family that celebrated us, thankful for the congratulatory texts and messages I received, thankful for our growing family, thankful for my supportive husband who is also the best dad and just all-around thankful for the time spent with loved ones. THANK YOU TO EVERYONE! I’m here to share all the details from our baby shower – what I wore, how my amazing family decorated, the games we played, food we ate, sweets, drinks and how…

Registry for Baby #2
Hi, y’all! I’m here to share a complete breakdown of our registry for baby #2! Kaiser Wayne is due in just under 70 days and it’s officially crunch time for Bryan and I. We’re about 70% done with the kids’ shared nursery – thank the Lord! The biggest project for their room has been the dresser that I decided to refurbish. I can confidently say that I never want to refurbish another piece of furniture lol. We got it for only $100 but cleaning and painting the thing has been so much work – I’ll do a complete blog post on how I did that soon! Outside of the nursery…

Weekend at South Padre Island + Packing List
Hi, y’all! Last weekend we took Emmett to South Padre Island to celebrate the 4th and she loved the beach. Watching her play and have the best time makes my forehead sunburn worth it 😉 Here is how COVID-19 affected our stay, where we stayed, what the beach was like with a toddler and a packing list of what we actually used. HOW COVID-19 AFFECTED OUR STAY COVID-19 actually didn’t affect us too much. It’s mandated in Texas to wear a mask when you go into public businesses so we masked up at our stops during the 6-hour drive. That’s not a problem at all – I just wish I’d…

June Amazon Finds
Shop the Look Hi, y’all! If you’re here for the Amazon finds, scroll right on down. If you want an update on our little family, read on! How’s your week going? Hopefully good! Our family is doing well and adjusting to another new normal of 2020 because our boy Bryan got a job – PRAISE JESUS! This has actually been on my heart and something in my prayers ever since the start of the pandemic so this is a HUGE weight lifted from all of us. It’s no secret that job transitions are never easy but they’re especially stressful when you have a little one coming whether there’s a job…

Pregnancy Closet 101
Hello! I’m officially 23 weeks and getting close to the end of my second trimester. I’ve been enjoying dressing my bump and I’m here to share how I built my pregnancy closet. GROWING A BUMP WHILE BALANCING A HEALTHY BODY IMAGE Before I start telling you my experience let me go ahead and put it out there: EVERY PREGNANCY IS UNIQUE, BUMPS GROW AT THEIR OWN PACE AND WHAT WORKS FOR ME MAY NOT WORK FOR YOU. I love these pieces but also understand that everyone has different wardrobe requirements (i.e. you won’t really find maternity workwear pieces in my closet since I don’t work in a traditional office) and…

Second Trimester Bumpdate + Flattering Maternity Dress!
Hi! Well, we are officially into the second trimester and I’m getting “more pregnant” by the day. Today I’m sharing a bumpdate! BUMPDATES NAME: Kaiser Wayne Kaase! I looked at hundreds of boy names and we had such a hard time find one we both loved. I finally came across Kaiser and instantly loved it. It took Bryan a couple weeks but now he’s all about it! Wayne is after Bryan’s uncle who passed last year. His name was Randy Wayne and we loved Wayne as a middle name! HOW FAR ALONG: We’re 18 weeks and 4 days EXACTLY! Here are a few comparison pics of my first pregnancy vs.…

What’s One More?!
Hi! I’ve been dying to share this news and it’s getting very challenging hiding it, so here we are – Bryan and I are expecting a baby boy late-September! We’re over-the-moon about this news and can’t wait to see Emmett as a big sister, which is crazy to think about because she’s still my little baby. That’s how it’ll be forever in my eyes but I’m excited to see her teach and care for him. YOU’RE WHAT?! We were trying for about 2 months so I was tracking all the good stuff through my Apple Health app. After 2 negative tests in January, I was ready to accept that it…

Big ONE Photos!
Hi! As you know, Emmett is officially ONE! I still can’t believe that a year has come and gone but here we are. I can’t begin to tell you how many times people told us “time will fly” when they saw us with our little baby and they certainly weren’t wrong. Another year of aging for me seems… insignificant in comparison to the year Emmett just grew through. She went from needing my hands for head support to sitting up to crawling to speaking jibberish and, finally, to walking. The leaps and bounds that she took are amazing to me and I’m pretty sure that watching it all unfold is…

Happy 1st Birthday, Emmett June!
Holy guacamole, y’all – our little baby is officially ONE! I can’t believe how fast this year went by… but also how it feels like I had her yesterday. What’s that saying? The hours are long but the days are fast or something like that?! That’s exactly how I feel about this past year! Emmett’s birthday theme was a pink-western-honky-tonk-Shania-Twain-rodeo mix. It doesn’t exactly have a name… more just a vibe lol! Seriously, I loved how everything came out. I based the theme around “MAN, I FELL LIKE A 1-YR-OLD” (I was inspired by the first birthday party @ciarachanelself hosted for her little one. They did a Biggie theme –…
