Just a couple months to go! This pregnancy has definitely flown by way faster than the last one! When I was pregnant with Beverly I could tell you the week, day, hour, minute, second (slight exaggeration) I was in of pregnancy. This time around I have to give it a bit of thought as […]
I so enjoy hosting. It doesn’t matter what the occasion or guest list looks like! Let me have people over and the hostess inside me screams for joy! I recently had the pleasure of co-hosting a Bridal Shower for one of my best friends. Honestly, it was a HUGE success! Myself and Alaina (another Bridesmaid […]
There are few things more satisfying than taking a space in your home and transforming it, big or small, into your vision. Ever since we moved into our new suite almost a year ago – wow that went fast – I have felt stressed and overwhelmed by how our front entrance was set up. […]
“Tiger Stripes” “Angel Scratches” “Stretch Market” “Tiger Belly” Stretch Marks Not too long ago I posted a picture on Instagram of my poppin’ baby bump and all the stretch marks that wrap around it. The amount of comments and messages I got by Mama’s and young women who had their own share of stretch […]
CAUSEBOX is a company who sends out a box full of goodies once every season. But we have all seen this before. So what makes this company different and special? Easy. They do good. Every product that goes into that beautiful box of original artwork (designed by a global or local artist) is […]
Oh hello “over half way mark”! Well. . . I’m hoping its over half way. With Bev having been 10 days late, I am trying not to get my hopes up! This pregnancy continues to amaze me by how fast it’s going! Mentally I feel like I’m only 14 weeks pregnant! Time flies. […]
This post is inspired by some sweet conversations I’ve been having with my sister, Sar. Self Care Raise of hands – who here laughs at every “self care” video or blogpost? Just me? Don’t think so. . . It’s unrealistic. Most videos or blogs will tell you to make weekly manicure appointments […]
It’s therapeutic really. . . Grabbing a cup of coffee, sitting down on the couch, turning on some music, working with my hands to create. I could honestly get lost in knitting. I won’t blab for too long because y’all gotta get started on this sweet blanket! Feel free to create your own […]
I was nine days late on Thursday. Friday I was supposed to get induced. That was awful. . . Being nine days late with the summer heat cooking our part of the earth with the added bonus of being completely uncomfortable and living with constant pain is not something I would wish upon any of […]
HELLO FULL TERM!!! I would love to say that it feels good to be full term. . . But I would be lying. . . Full term is not a feel good time. Yes, baby is so close to being in our arms, and that is very exciting! BUT – I feel anything […]
Making the commitment to shop ethically can be a challenge just for yourself. Shopping ethically for your kids is a lot harder! Buying locally made, or sweatshop free clothing alone can be a big challenge and also very pricey. When you buy a product that wasn’t made by human beings who work for barely […]
This is for all the Mama’s Have you ever asked a pregnant woman, or a mother with a newborn how her pregnancy and/or delivery was? Did she respond with “Fine!”, or “Good!”? Perhaps something along those lines? How many Mamas have responded to that question with complete honesty? In my personal experience, almost […]
Collab | SarahTherese When I was in my early teens. . . I spent my Sunday afternoons with my siblings and our main group of friends. We would without fail every week walk to the local mall and grab food, and then shop at the same stores over and over again. Now being […]
THIRD TRIMESTER!!! Exciting things have happened in the past six weeks! And my goodness have those weeks flown by. I only have 12 weeks to go! Still no development in preparation for the little one. And my crazy dreams have gone away for the most part (oh great now they are gonna come back). […]
When I first started getting my baby bump I was excited for so many reasons! I always thought pregnant women were gorgeous with their beautiful bellies of all shapes and sizes and couldn’t wait to have one of my own! A growing bump was a constant encouragement and assurance to me in my first […]

I think every Mama has slowly seen their nursery go from clean and organized to messy and chaotic. This line is usually crossed once the baby is born and you are actually using that room that previously remained still in its organized perfection. Don’t worry! It happens to us all. And if it never happened […]
Valentines Day is nearly here! Am I crazy Valentines Day person? Have I become obsessed with the “day of love”? Do I think its THE day to celebrate love? Nope. My Dad taught me different. There are 365 days in the year. 365 days in a year to tell your spouse, boyfriend/girlfriend, fiancee/fiancé, that you […]
Oh hello month 4 of pregnancy! At least that’s what my pregnancy app told me this morning. I still don’t understand the weeks to months dating. For example; I have my 20 week ultrasound booked for mid March. Which means i’ll be 4 1/2 months pregnant, half way to 9 months/40 weeks. BUT my app […]
Well slap me in the face, call me a cross eyed platypus, throw a pineapple at me and shoot me with coffee! Baby #2 is on the way! I’ve put my relationship with wine on hold in order to commit myself to pre-natals. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ Honestly I wasn’t expecting to have Bev and our next baby […]
