We appreciate a good cup of coffee around here and now that iced coffee season is upon us (as if it ever went anywhere), we are making more trips to our nearby Starbucks.
Between Austin, Victoria and myself, one of us usually makes a coffee run two or three times a week. I'm a creature of habit and typically stick with my Iced Chai, but I love to see what everyone else orders. And if I'm feeling adventurous, I'll try something new. ...
Last month, my best friends threw me the most wonderful shower to celebrate the anticipation of baby George. I'll be sharing my baby shower photos soon, but today, I wanted to share some ideas for other mamas-to-be or brides.
We all know that finding your "shower dress" can be intimidating. And if you are on the hunt for your baby shower dress, it's a whole other story. ...
It's been 2 weeks since we've been home with baby George and I'm constantly asking myself what life was before this little one. While it has been a big adjustment, I don't think we've ever been happier.
I know many of you have requested a "hospital bag" blog post and it's still a question that continues to pop up in my inbox. The reason I didn't share this before baby was because I wanted to wait and see what we actually used and what we could have left at home. You guys know I am a minimalist when it comes to packing and I wanted to keep it that way for the hospital. ...
Since finding out I was pregnant last October, I knew I needed to make some changes in my skincare routine. And while I love getting to test new things, I'm pretty loyal to my skincare products. But when I started talking with my doctor and researching on my own, I learned many of them were not considered "pregnancy safe" due to higher amounts of Vitamin A or Salicylic Acid.
Thankfully my doctor and nurses were very kind and generous with their time and let me send them product labels of anything I was questioning. Since each pregnancy is different, I would recommend asking your doctor and nurses before trying anything new. ...
We are beyond thrilled to welcome baby George to our family! He was born Friday, May 10th and weighed 7 lbs 14oz. After a crazy week in the hospital, we are relieved to say that everyone is doing well. Austin and I are just smitten with this precious baby boy. ...
The countdown to Baby R is on and I've been in full on nesting mode. They aren't kidding when they tell you that nesting will kick in towards the end. I didn't believe it at first. But since week 37, I've cleaned out my entire bathroom, laundry room, placed one too many Amazon orders, reorganized my nightstand, decluttered my closet and have made a list for everything. The craziest part is that my "nesting mode" literally kicks in around 10:30 pm. I know what you're thinking...Austin is one lucky guy. ...
One of my favorite things about summer is getting to have fresh flowers in the house. I've always loved putting together flower arrangements and this season always tends to have the best variety for us in Dallas. ...
My allergies are out of control these days. I woke up Sunday and felt stuffy, achy, you know the drill. Turns out, my allergies turned into a nasty cold and it literally took me out of the game. And being pregnant, you're pretty limited on what you can take. So, I talked with my doctor, got plenty of rest, did a few of these natural remedies and I'm finally starting to feel myself again. ...
We have been feeling so many emotions these past few months. The excitement of our new baby, the anxiety of getting everything "ready" (but are you really ever ready?) and the joy of embracing the new change that will be happening next month. ...
