I'm a sucker for baby clothes. All the cute little onesies, baby shoes, hats- you name it. I knew when we got pregnant that my wallet would be in trouble because I wanted to buy.all.the.things. One such place that sells super cute baby clothes, toys and gifts is Baby Aspen.  They offer a wide array of hands down adorable stuff.  After learning more about them after winning this adorable robe from a fellow blogger, I was fortunate enough to collaborate with them, and picked out a few items for Read More

Baby Boy Nursery Reveal

April 27, 2015

Hi there!  First off, thank you so much for the sweet comments on little Bryce Nolan’s birth.  It’s been a whirlwind so far and I can’t believe he is a week old already!  It's been an incredibly rewarding (and challenging!) experience thus far, and I wouldn't trade it for the world. Anyways, I had a few minutes in between feedings for Bryce, so I wanted to do a post on his nursery reveal!  This baby boy nursery is one of my favorite places in the house and I love how it turned out.

Baby Shower Recap!

March 4, 2015

This past weekend was my baby shower.  It was such a wonderful day, and I enjoyed spending time with family and friends that truly spoiled Baby P.   I’ll let the photos do the talking, but first…let me tell you about what I wore! In my January clothing budget, I asked for some help on what dress I should wear.  Unfortunately, none of them were quite right on me in person, but luckily, a great British company called Seraphine came to the rescue!  Ladies…if you are pregnant, they have such Read More

    • I’m sure you can relate…for those of you working from home/quarantining, you can’t resist the gravitational pull of the kitchen for a snack, am I right?! I’m sharing a roundup of some of my favorite snacks that span salty, savory and sweet. Whether it’s an after school snack, road trip supply, Netflix/sports accompaniment, family movie night or just a little pick-me-up, I’ve got ya covered with options that you won’t feel guilty about later since these snacks are all comprised of a simple, clean ingredients.

    • We enjoyed some gorgeous greenery at the domes today. It was like we were on a tropical island with all the lush vegetation... almost In awe of such beauty, especially when snow is stacked high and temps are so low all around us.

    • Over the last five+ years of being a mom, my style has evolved quite a bit. Gone are the days of being dressed for the office every day. Now my work-from-home life meets stay-at-home mom life requires what I wear to be both comfortable and practical without sacrificing style. I still love getting myself put together for the day, even if that means a day of working at home, running errands and playing outside. So I put together three practical yet stylish outfits featuring some tried and true clothing favorites from @everlane, a brand I love for quality, ethically made items.

    • #ad No matter what your dietary preferences might be, give @planetoat a try! I started a few years ago when I ditched the coffee creamer and now opt for a non dairy option. Planet Oat now has unsweetened flavors (original and vanilla) with zero grams of sugar and just 45 calories per serving! The taste is great, creamy and works well straight up in a glass, in coffee as a creamer substitute or mixed in a smoothie or overnight oats.
