Maternity Dress for Photography … curated on LTK

I had to remind myself of who TF I am... Last summer we were locked in the house and now I'm carrying around extra weight, in pain, out of breath, and dealing with indigestion most if the time. This isn't exactly the hot girl summer I was looking forward too.. Over the weekend I was able to celebrate my line sister's union with her love, get dressed up, see my peeps, and shake this extra 55 lbs on the dance floor! It was nice to trade in the maternity shirts & leggings for a flowing dress and heels.

How far along were you when you had your baby shower? We had our first shower when I was 25 weeks pregnant, but this time around we pushed it to the edge. Since Baby #2 is a boy we’re reusing ALL of son’s old gear from http://liketk.it/3l7Sf clothes, car seats, strollers, high chair, and other gadgets.

We still need some essentials and my favorites like diapers, wipes, pack-n-play, medicine, lotion, and clothes. @liketoknow.it #liketkit

Hot Mama summer is an understatement! When I tell you I am HOT HOT I’m not joking! Even though this Georgia heat is trying to take me out I’m soaking up the moments I can get dressed up. http://liketk.it/3l7Ra

If I’m being honest I planned to exclusively pump with Remy and somehow ended up nursing for 2 years. This time around I’m preparing my nursing kits in advance because I don’t know what this kid will have in mind. I’ll be following his lead. I’m making two baskets, one for my bedroom & the other for our family room filled with:

Nipple cream
Breast pads
Snacks
Haakaa (to collect milk during feedings)
Mini bottles of water

Even though I have some leftover nursing gear from Remy I’m really excited to try the reusable organic nursing pads once I’m out of the disposables. And last time I only had a few bras and tanks but my friends hooked me up at my baby shower.

This little guy came home from his trips requesting aka demanding Co Co Melon. To distract him I pulled out his “Busy Book”.

A friend shared this cute little book with tons of activities with me a while ago and I’ve been slowly putting it together. Remy is VERY active so I wasn’t sure if he would be interested, but to my surprise he was.

The activities vary from lower & upper case letters, alphabet, color matching, animals, vegetables & fruits, occupation, transportation, and opposites.

So far Remy’s favorite activities are matching farm animals, crayon color matching, and ABCs.

If you need some ideas I linked to several printable & pre-made versions. http://liketk.it/3jAAh

Did somebody say BATH? We dropped the kid off to my parents so it’s time to soak! I haven’t had a Sunday bath in awhile so today I’m taking advantage of one. If baths are your thing I linked to my favorite bath items from bath bombs, bubbles, and decor http://liketk.it/3hfMS @liketoknow.it #liketkit

Friday is that you? This was our last kid free week and I did everything from have quality time with George, planned for maternity leave, engaged in a Q&A discussion, planning meetings, and had some solo time.

Cheers to the weekend. If you're stepping out I linked to my maternity dresses (link in bio) on my @liketoknow.it #liketkit http://liketk.it/3i5on

We’re less than 2 months away from Baby #2 blessing us with his presence, and because of that I’m in full prep mode! From extra family time, the beach, dates, decorating, and trying to get ahead on work. Maternity leave I’m coming for ya!

Just in case you couldn’t tell… pictures are not my jam.

The harsh reality of running a solo business is you take on every role and responsibility whether you’re good at it or not.

It’s camera day, so I’m celebrating the progress I’ve made with my photography skills. To my fellow folks who lack photography skills I see you, because I still have a long way to go. If you’re looking for a user-friendly camera I linked to my Canon, stand, and this schnazzy maternity dress (link in bio) on my @liketoknow.it http://liketk.it/3i68s #liketkit

Swollen feet, no worries. Flip flop for the win. Snag this maternity dress and another one of my favorites on my @liketoknow.it http://liketk.it/3iA2c #liketkit

If you had to pick your favorite place to go, where would it be? I will almost always choose the Beach. Unless you have blue crabs! Then I will always be in front of the crabs.

We made it back from our toddler free trip, so, to help me get through the week I'm reminiscing on when put my toes in the sand, smelled the salty air, laid out with my love, and had my belly out.

Linked to my kimono & maternity bathing suit (link in bio) on @liketoknow.it . It comes in burgundy too!

Any other beach lovers out there?

Do you date your spouse? One of our favorite things to do is go on dates. Anything involving food, good drinks, and music is our jam. Even after having Remy we were blessed with friends who begged to watch him so our dates continued.

Then 2020 happened… Between the pandemic and moving 2x in a year our dates stopped! Whew I missed them, so last week we got it in! We’ll see how things go once Baby #2 arrives, but for now the Rileys are back at it!

When I look good I feel good, and going out gave me a reason to look a little schnazzy. Linked to the maternity dresses I picked up on my http://liketk.it/3gO0z

Last weekend I made a spur of the moment trip and picked up more plants. Any other plant folks out there? What ya got? Indoor? Outdoor? Herbs? Vegetables?

I wonder if I’ll have any more additions this week… I hope so…

Reading! I am SO far behind on my reading, so not only is this for you, but for me. Today I’m going to try to kick back, relax and pull out my book. I’m reading Get out of your head by Jennie Allen with a few girlfriends and even though it’s a good read I’ve been slacking. This book has an amazing blend of mental and spiritual components.

Are crop tops and baby bumps a thing? It took me a LONG time to slim down after Remy, and you couldn't tell me nothing! Ya girl was rocking crop tops! Threw this one on for old times sakes with these maternity leggings. Linked to my new maternity leggings and comfy sneakers on @liketoknow.it (link in bio) http://liketk.it/3eEab #liketkit

What's your exercise routine looking like these days. I'm getting mine in anyway I can! Between races, bubbles, soccer, and running around with outside hockey sticks Remy and I can probably create a whole workout routine. I wasn’t sure if Remy was going to like this soccer & hockey set, but he absolutely loves it! http://liketk.it/3dTyA @liketoknow.it #liketkit

I spent WAY too much time in my office yesterday. Today I'll be lounging about, being told "next song" by Remy (he's picky about his jams), getting some sun, and if the toddler acts right taking some mommy & me pictures 🤞🏽 the 2 mini tantrums is all he's giving us today.

99 days of Believing Bigger! I've been inspired, mentally stretched, had my edges snatched, been empowered, and my faith increased from this book. I don't know what I'm going to do when my friends and I are finished tomorrow. Guess I'll have to read the book next.

Get a group of your girlfriends together and start Believing Bigger. Linked to the devotional & book on my @liketoknow.it . Click the link in my bio to get your copy.

Pick your poison… what ya got? Sneakers, flats, or heels? I've never been a sneaker head, but when I got pregnant with Remy my hubby got me my first pair of Nike Air Maxx 270s and now I dabble in the sneaker world a bit. I mean who doesn't like felt like walking on little pillows.

So, now that I've entered in the sneaker world I really like Nike Air Max 270 & Vapormax. My newest babies are the Nike vapor Maxx 2020. Comfy, fits the shape of my foot, and slips on easily because there's no laces. Head over to my @liketoknow.it if your looking for a comfy pair of shoes and shop my favorite sneakers. http://liketk.it/3cYGj #liketkit
