Looking back at pregnancy photos I remember thinking I was large when each was taken. Nope. I am LARGE now. Almost 35 weeks large and the baby is supposed to grow an entire inch this week! These last few weeks are exciting, scary and can mess with your emotions. Not only does your body seem foreign, but you may feel scattered with the anticipation of delivery looming. Plus you are out of the honeymoon stage of the 2nd trimester and…
7 Gorgeous Interior Design Instagram Accounts To Follow For Endless Inspiration
We recently decided to do a kitchen refresh before we welcome our baby at the end of September. I’m defining refresh as painting our cabinets, adding new hardware and changing the back splash. So lately I’ve been indulging in my favorite past-time of surfing for design inspiration even more than I currently do (fitting it in before bed while simultaneously trying to read On Becoming Baby Wise for the second time). Lucky for you I’ve curated 7 Interior Design Instagram…
Watermelon Rainbow Coolers: The Perfect Summer Sip
So 23 weeks pregnant today! I’m feeling large and in charge. Yesterday I hosted a birthday lunch at my house for a girlfriend who is also pregnant. Now normally a chilled Pinot Grigio is an automatic when having a summer lunch with a friend. Southern front porch = drink in hand.

Where to Find Stylish Maternity Clothing For All Trimesters
Shopping for maternity wear can be quite challenging, especially during the 2nd and 3rd trimesters. Not only do your stomach and breasts grow, but your back and rib cage expand to support your frame and your legs grow to support the added weight. I’m now 19 weeks and at a style point I call “clothing limbo.” I’m not quite in maternity, but I’m also putting on some of my regular clothes for the last time until I welcome my baby…
Count Me Healthy Valentine’s Day Gift Guide + Giveaway
Valentine’s Day is one of my favorite holidays: The colors, the paper-goods, the sweets! There is something airy and light about it. But I feel like the flowers and chocolates are being replaced by cool things you can actually wear and use. Gone are the days when I bought my 6th grade boyfriend a 4-piece mini-box of Russell Stover’s assorted chocolates and the single cassette tape of C&C Music Factory’s “Just a touch of love.” Don’t hate. I still love…
