Now that I’m in my third trimester, I figured a pregnancy update was just about due. Yesterday, my mom and sister in law hosted the most beautiful sprinkle for me and my close friends and family. It was so perfect, and it made me finally believe that I am actually having a daughter in 10 weeks. To mark the occasion, here are 5 things that have surprised me about my third pregnancy.…

Ok, so I didn’t intend on sharing this today, but since some of you asked how to normalize life after daylight savings time with little ones, I’ll tell you what I did this weekend which has worked for us since 2015. I am not an expert by any means, however, this trick has saved us from any wild 5am wake up calls. Here is how I get my kids back on schedule after daylight savings:…
I am so excited to share with you all that I am expecting my third baby March 1! I found out a few days before my first son’s third birthday. When I asked him what he wanted for his big day, he said, “a SISTER!” He is nothing if not intuitive, but he has also been asking for a sister ever since he saw Frozen. I did became nervous about how he would receive the news if we were to…

I am no expert by any means, these are just some of the things that have really helped me on my journey thus far. Join a gym that has good babysitting.

I was prepared to write a review on Fashion Week, but instead I’ve decided to address something that was brought up A LOT yesterday. As I mentioned earlier this week, I scaled down my Fashion Week attendance to one day this season. For reference, my new mantras are: Comparison is the thief of joy.

My baby boy Bear Hunter turned one on July fourth! You can tell by the fact that I’m mentioning this three weeks after the fact that I am not that mom who sends out custom Christmas cards, though I sometimes wish I was. Even still, I wanted to find something thoughtful to surprise my husband on his first Father’s Day, just before our son’s first birthday. I also wanted to have something to share with friends and family on Bear’s…
