Father’s Day 2019 Gift Ideas

It's Austin's first Father's Day and I can't wait to make this day extra special for him. For his gifts, I went with something  small and sentimental and something fun for him and George to do as he grows up. Ahh, so excited. When shopping for the perfect gift, I came across a few that would be worth noting if you are still trying to hunt down the perfect gift for your Dad, Grandpa or Baby Daddy. Many of these have free 2-day shipping so you will get them just in time! My personal faves include the Dior Sauvage Eau de Parfum  (Austin wears this), Tool Organizer and of course the AirPods with Charging Case. ...

What I Packed in my Hospital Bag for Labor and Delivery

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. ...

My Pregnancy Skincare Routine

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. ...

The Under $100 Blazer I Wore All Throughout My Pregnancy

Blazers have always been a part of my wardrobe, pregnant or not. You can wear them to the office, with denim and heels for date night, or over your favorite breezy dress - it really is the most versatile piece. Versatility aside, a blazer was an easy option for me in my third trimester. It fit the growing bump and I already own quite a few so I wasn't having to buy new clothes just to wear for a couple of months. ...

My Maternity Leave Plans + Helpful Tips from Other Working Mamas

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. ...

5 Sunglasses on my Radar for Summer

Summer is calling my name and it's always during this time of year when I start taking inventory of my sunglasses collection. I have to admit, I have somewhat of an addiction to this particular accessory. And the best part, not all sunglasses have to come with a steep price tag. I've rounded up 5 of my top choices (many you have seen on here quite a bit) all under $200. ...
