There’s nothing like summer reading… although I wish I carried the same enthusiasm and dedication to reading throughout the entire year like I do during the summer months! I’ve been trying to read more in general but the past few weeks I’ve been adamant about reading before bed for at least 20 minutes. My list […]

Any new mom knows that laundry consumes your life as soon as you have a baby — ok maybe not that drastic but I’ve never been someone who does laundry efficiently (I wait until its overflowing) and as soon as Piper arrived and was going through 5+ outfits a day it was always on my […]

We are weeks away from Piper’s 1st birthday – it’s so true what everyone tells you as soon as you bring your sweet baby home from the hospital. “It goes so fast…cherish every second”. I always nodded my head and said “I know!” —  but it seems like just yesterday we were waiting and waiting […]

When I was pregnant with Piper I was pretty lucky in the morning sickness department — only suffering from nausea for a few weeks but I know so many women suffer from morning sickness & I thought I’d share a few things that can help…  Tea. I’m a fan of drinking tea for medicinal purposes, I’m […]

Swim season is upon us! I’m going to sign Piper up for swim lessons this week and can’t wait to buy her first swimsuit! Really there is nothing cuter than baby bikinis and I’ve scoured the web for a little too long looking for the best styles for baby girls and boys!  Let’s start with […]

Mother’s Day is next weekend! I’m always behind when it comes to getting my mom a gift, my sister and I always try to plan ahead but it just never happens. A pretty new fragrance seems like a no-brainer — especially when the bottle is as gorgeous as Untold by Elizabeth Arden  and I think just about […]

It wasn’t until a friend mentioned she picked up a new shirt that was great for nursing during my 8th month of pregnancy, until I thought about how I had not even assessed my wardrobe for clothes I’d be able to nurse in! There’s plenty of other things to be worrying about before the baby arrives […]

Sleep is a precious thing when you’re a new mom — it often involves making a choice about whether you’d rather do the dishes, fold laundry, browse Pinterest, work on your blog or catch a few extra zzzz’s. Usually I opt to get more done in a day over getting more sleep but if I […]

Flares!! Flares remind me of college. Flares and black tops, too much bronzer and an extra 15lbs. Those were the days! But flares are making a major comeback  – when I put these super comfy Madewell flares on for the first time Austin called them mom jeans and then asked if the 70’s were in […]
