We recently celebrated Blair’s First Birthday and Baby B was definitely showered with lots of love throughout her entire birthday month! In the few months leading up to Blair’s birthday, Ryan and I started talking about what we wanted to give to her as a gift! If you are a parent yourself, I am sure you also have a nice collection of toys that your child has been gifted for holidays and such! Therefore, we …
When I found out I was pregnant with Blair, it wasn’t long before I started to feel overwhelmed thinking about all of the baby supplies and items we would need to buy in order to be prepared for her arrival. After all, I was a complete amateur when it came to all things babies! I didn’t know the first thing about them or what they needed. And to make matters worse, if you do a …
Happy Summer, friends! It’s officially the summertime and I cannot even begin to express my excitement for this season. With everything that has been going on in the world over the last few months, it feels so great to finally have some warmer weather we can take advantage of. Not to mention, I am SO looking forward to Blair’s first summer! We have already spent so much time outside in the yard and I see …
Hey friends! Okay so during my pregnancy when Ryan and I announced that we decided to keep the gender of our sweet babe a surprise, the number one question we received was regarding our nursery! Everyone wanted to know how we were going to design a room without knowing whether or not to get pink or blue decor. And to be totally honest, I don’t even think we saw this as an issue whatsoever (haha). …
We are in the home stretch now, people! How is it already time to write this post?! I cannot believe it! Throughout the duration of my entire pregnancy, I kept thinking about how quickly the time was flying by. It felt as if my first two trimesters were over in the blink of an eye. But, now that we have made it to the final countdown, it seems as if time is literally standing still …
One of the BEST pieces of advice I received during my pregnancy was to do some food prep before baby made their arrival! And when you think about it, this is such a genius idea, isn’t it?! I mean, what new mom will have the time to spend cooking meals the first couple of weeks postpartum? Knowing myself, I would probably resort to ordering take-out or eating frozen pizzas whenever I found myself too tired …
So, I’m currently 36 weeks along (eek) and coming up on my last month of pregnancy before Baby Malone arrives! It’s safe to say I have been spending most of my free time making to-do list after to-do list and obsessively checking over everything to make sure no stone is left unturned. Of course, one huge component is making sure our hospital bag is packed and ready to go! Although I’m still (hopefully) a few …
And just like that, my second trimester has come and gone! When I sat down to write my first trimester update, I remember thinking to myself, “Dang, that flew by quick!” And now that the time has come to give you all my second trimester update, it feels like Baby Malone’s due date is right around the corner! With the craziness of the holidays and the New Year smack dab in the middle of my …
Happy New Year to all our friends and family! I hope you all had a fabulous holiday season with your loved ones and are getting into the swing of things for 2020! Over the winter break, both Ryan and I enjoyed lots of quality time with our friends and families and had so much fun catching up with everyone we haven’t seen in a while. One of the highlights of our trip was celebrating the …
Doesn’t it feel like stretch mark creams and lotions are everywhere when you are pregnant?! And furthermore, every mama you talk to will tell you exactly which one you HAVE to buy in order to prevent those pesky marks. It’s hard to know which ones will actually help, let alone if the ingredients in these creams are safe to use while pregnant. You guys already know how passionate I am about non-toxic living and using …
