My posts

Reading has helped me learn so much in my motherhood journey. In the early days especially, Google felt overwhelming and focusing on a book was the best way for me to learn (and still is!). As I worked my way through book after book I found which styles and advice really clicked for me. A few stand out themes are:

- open minded and non judgmental tone
- underlying message of empowerment -(you can do this/ you know your baby and your body the best)
- exploration of birthing/parenting in other cultures
- psychology based or diving into the ‘why’

Over the next few weeks, I’ll be sharing some recommendations of books that spoke to my soul or were just really freaking helpful. Hopefully these recommendations will help you fill your library with some new perspectives and help you like they helped me 🤍

The first one is “The Mommy Plan”. I read this at about 6 months postpartum and wish I found it before giving birth. It explores the void in post pregnancy care in the Western world and shares how we can learn traditional rituals from other cultures. The suggestions on adapting these traditions to modern life are simple enough to implement. Reading this gave me a better appreciation for the miracle our bodies go through, the power of women in our lives, and the importance of a village (either inherited or created).

It’s giving Chessy for Saturday errands. 

Comfy, casual, bump friendly ✌🏼with a side of caffeine.

At that stage of pregnancy where I’m just living in dresses or pajamas, there’s no in between. I love this printed dress from Mother Bee Maternity. It’s a perfect transition piece for summer to fall. I paired it with some of my favorite summer accessories from Amazon for a vacation friendly look. As the weather turns I’ll style it for chillier temps too.

Had a rough few days of feeling sick so I’ve been posted up in bed. Shoutout to my pup Charleston who literally never leaves my side when I’m sick. Also, honorable mention to cute loungewear that makes me feel at least a little put together. 

This set is one of my favorites right now. I would wear it everyday if I could. It’s super soft (giving Barefoot Dreams vibes) and under $40 on Amazon. It’s still soft even after washing so I’m queuing up an order with the other color options now too.

Ideal holiday weekend mood ☀️ Laying by the water with a good book. 

I’ve tagged a few of my suggested summer reads if you’re looking for a new novel to start. Also sharing my favorite pregnancy safe sunscreen. It has a tint to it so it gives you a nice glow which we love to see ✨

The best dupe bum bag is back in stock on Amazon. Under $40 and fits all the essentials for momming. Wallet, phone, diaper, juice box, snack bar, lipgloss, and sunnies. It’s also super lightweight for how roomy it is! 




#LTKsalealert #LTKitbag #LTKunder50
The Nordstrom sale is also a great time to stock up on gifts. Here are a few ideas that are sure to be crowd pleasers. All are under $75 and are perfect for a variety of occasions  

#nsale #LTKunder100 #LTKsalealert
I also use the Nordstrom sale to stock up on my cozy essentials. A new Barefoot Dreams cardigan and these short sleeve pajamas are on my list every year. This year I added another cute set, a pair of leggings I’ve heard great things about, and Ugg slippers  

#LTKunder100 #nsale #LTKsalealert
Every year I use the Nordstrom sale to grab a few pieces that will be staples in my wardrobe that Fall/Winter. These are my choices this year. Versatile + easy to mix and match. Also all are bump friendly so I don’t have to wait until after baby gets here

Over the past 7 months in our new house we’ve been slowly getting things set up how we want them to be. My goal was always by the one year mark to feel truly settled. 

Sharing some of our budget friendly finds that we’ve loved in our new space. This room is where we spend most of our time. It functions as a playroom/living room so I wanted it to feel casual, cozy, and welcoming, but also organized so we can hide away the toys when it’s adult time.

Another Disney day look. Always go extra for Magic Kingdom ✨ Love a few of these small business finds along with my tried and true maternity shorts and cute/comfy adidas sneaks. 




#LTKtravel #LTKbump #LTKunder100
Another Disney Park day outfit means another super comfy/lightweight dress from PinkBlush Maternity. This was perfect to run around the dinosaur “boneyard” with Maddox and also for our reservation at Tusker House. 

A couple PSAs

🦓 Tusker House was some of the best food I’ve ever had on property. It’s family style and a fun way for your littles to meet the characters. Worth every penny!

🦓 PinkBlush is having a 30% off sale on dresses (aka what I lived in most of my trip) 





#LTKsalealert #LTKbump #LTKunder100
Another bump friendly Disney World outfit. This lightweight t-shirt dress from Pink Blush Maternity is one of my all time favorites for warm weather. 

A couple other things to “add to cart”:

These adidas platform sneakers are trendy and super comfy. 

This dupe bum bag from Amazon. Small enough to be convenient. Big enough to hold a diaper, wipes, a snack, and a juice box. 

Not pictured but definitely wearing (and linked), buttery soft, lightweight biker shorts underneath my dress. Prevent the dreaded thigh burn and keeps the bump smooth. The most necessary item is you’re wearing a dress this summer. 




#LTKbump #LTKtravel #LTKunder100
Bumpin around Disney World ain’t easy. The summer heat and swollen feet are brutal, but at least I’ve been looking cute doing it 💕✌🏼 Plus it’s always worth it to see Maddox’s face light up when he’s here. 

Over the next few days I’ll be sharing my bump friendly Disney outfits along with some items that were lifesavers for this trip.

Been watching too much @homeedit and ended up channeling Joanna (only my outfit, my actual closet still needs to be cleaned 😬). This comfy shirt is a new favorite from Vici. I love the pop of color paired with white jeans and some fun accessories from Amazon. Beautiful day 🌷
The not matching “matching” mother and son outfits were a hit last time so sharing another cute look for spring. There’s nothing cuter than a little kid in overalls. Throw in the bow tie and it’s game over for me. I love throwing a denim jacket over a flowy spring dress that goes with little man’s outfit. The denim coordinates so well and it makes a cute look without being overly matchy. Of course we’re all about running around these days so sneakers or slip ons are our go to. 🌷🌷🌷

I’ve linked Maddox’s outfit (it’s all from Old Navy) so you can grab it for this weekend. My look was from pieces I had in my closet, but I linked some similar ones from Old Navy as well so you can pick up the whole look in time for Easter. And Old Navy is having a huge sale now, like 30% most items. 🐰

Going to match this kid as much as I can before he won’t let me 💕




#LTKSeasonal #Easter #LTKunder50
Marvel Day at Sea was a big favorite of ours. We love Marvel and Maddox has just started to get into Spider-Man so it was perfect. We got to meet and interact with characters and the night time show was epic 💥 

We spent the beginning of the day dressed as Spider-Man and Ghost-Spider then at night Captain America and a Peggy Carter kind of vibe. When looking for costumes for Maddox I love using pajamas that double as a costume. You actually get use out of them for more than just one wear. @shopdisney has the cutest ones which I’ll link. For me I wanted something fun but easy/quick because there is no way I’d have time to get full glam with a toddler in tow. I grabbed this Ghost-Spider hoodie off Amazon for less than $30. For my second outfit I got an army green dress from Amazon that I’ll definitely wear again and paired it with some quick pin curls and red lipstick. 

Everything is linked incase you’re looking for some ideas to get in the super hero spirit too.

Best Amazon purchase I’ve made in a while. Not sure who is happier. Maddox on his bike or me watching how happy he is on his bike? 🥲🤍

Comfy autumn look with my little dude. 

We’re taking advantage of our few weeks before unpacking starts to fit in some fall activities and explore our new area 🤍

Today I snuck off for a little mom break. I got a pedicure, grabbed coffee at a new spot, and checked out a cute pop up at the Town Center. Then we took Maddox to pick out some baby pumpkins (which he loves). 🎃




#LTKfamily #LTKbaby #LTKSeasonal
If it’s not summer, it’s Halloween 👻 After we wrapped our last beach day of the season we broke out our matching jams to kick off spooky season. 

We are big matching PJ fans! A few years back we even did our holiday card photos in matching pajamas with the dogs 😂 These ones from Walmart are super comfy (and lightweight which is 👌🏼). They have options for the whole family, I mean everyone.. even the pups. 



#LTKSeasonal #LTKfamily #LTKHoliday
This isn’t a sponsored post! My trip to Target 🎯 just inspired me to share some info on our favorite diapers. They changed the game for us 👶🏼 @milliemoon is hands down our favorite brand. We use them for day and overnight 💫 no leaks, super soft, and of course they’re aesthetically nice. They’re premium diapers, like truly a luxury brand feeling, but affordable 🙌🏼 I shared a sweet package they sent to Maddox a few months back, and wanted to share the reality of how they’ve become staples in our house 💙

Cheers to the work from home life. Ive been trying to optimize my wardrobe to crossover from my home office to my home outfits. Recently I’ve added a few new pieces to my closet from Amazon that double for Zoom meetings and life outside of work (baby chasing or happy hour, you pick). Get the most bang for your buck with these five super cost friendly (and cute) pieces!

It’s the matching nails and keyboard for me 💅🏼 💅🏼💅🏼

This Barefoot Dreams blanket will never not be at the top of my Nordstrom Anniversary Sale recommendations list. On the blog I’m sharing my picks from the Nsale this year. My list is short, sweet, and focuses on items new moms actually will use. I know because I have them all and 90% of my Nsale purchases from last year made the cut into my hospital go bag. Comfort and breastfeeding accessibility are accounted for 👌🏼I’ve linked them via this post and you can read my reasoning behind each pick on my blog.
