Babydoll Dress
Hello and happy Thursday, friends! Not sure if you’ve noticed, but I’ve been MIA on my blog and social media lately…we are renovating our master bathroom (meaning contractors in and out of the house) and honestly, pregnancy pains have been pretty unbearable lately (ligaments stretching = ouch!) …so I’ve been laying low trying to focus on our house and overall just staying sane and healthy. I shot this look with my sister a few weeks back and am finally sharing it…! This babydoll dress is DARLING whether you’re pregnant or not, and I love it worn over a chic black turtleneck.

Can y’all believe we’re flying through January?! I’ve been in nesting mode preparing for Baby P’s arrival, which means lots of time spent indoors tending to everything nursery related! Truth be told, forcing myself to stop and get outside has been SUCH a welcome part of my day. Y’all know I go on a daily walk, but with all the rain that has hit Austin recently, Blake and I were itching to get over to Barton Creek and see the flowing water, soak in the colorful foliage and enjoy some time together in nature…
New year, new list of goals to make! Fitness is generally at the top of everyone’s resolutions list, but given that I’m in the midst of giving myself some serious grace (35 weeks pregnant over here), let’s just say my goal is to simply remain active. I currently take a daily walk – anywhere from two to five miles – to ease my discomfort, get my heart rate up and of course, gain some mental clarity. I have no idea what my new fitness routine will be in just five to 10 weeks time (…I mean, I have definitely been pinning “post pregnancy” inspiration to my 
Happy New Year, friends! Oh my goodness I can’t believe 2018 has come and gone – what a wonderful year it was! From travels, to new pups to baby news…I am so grateful for all this past year has brought into my life. A special thank you to all of my readers who take the time to visit my little corner of the internet, it truly means the world to me that you’re here and continue to support my passion week after week. I look forward to producing more content for you guys in the new year…including posts on motherhood, which I am most excited about!
We’re in the home stretch to Christmas, y’all! If you’re like me and still have a few folks on your list to shop for, there’s one store that always has you covered…you guessed it, 
Hey friends! How’s your week going? Can you believe we are just over 10 days away from Christmas?! I don’t know about y’all, but I’ve still got half my list to shop for…ah! Thankfully, this time crunch can be solved by two things: coffee (first and foremost) and online shopping…! Over the weekend, Blake and I tried to brave the mall and man…it was a ZOO. We ended up leaving shortly after, feeling overwhelmed by crowds in every store. So, what to give the gals left on your list (or yourself… 😉 ) that will arrive on your doorstep in time? Shoes!
If there’s one topic I have become an expert in at this point, it’s most certainly loungewear and pajamas! I was so darn excited to work on this post because a big pregnant belly this year means that next year I’ll have a little mini me dressed to match! I don’t know about you, but when I think of motherhood, matching holiday pajamas is #familygoals in my head, ha. I tried my hardest to wrangle my pups for this shoot, but alas, they preferred to go play outside in the mud…go figure, huh? 😉
Hello, third trimester! Me oh my things are different around here…ha! Not only has our little guy increased in size (my pregnancy app compared him to the size of an acorn squash this week), but my body has been hard at work and changing daily…not to mention, dressing a big ‘ol bump has been more fun than ever. I used to be able to hide the bump (not intentionally, it just wasn’t quite as prominent in clothing) even just two weeks ago if I wore an oversize tee and leggings…but alas, those days are long gone and thus, I’m ready to display this belly proudly! With the holidays and baby showers fast approaching (I wore this
