I was a bit naughty. I haven’t made a clothing purchase like this since the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. I’m trying to accept my post-baby body as it is, mostly the same, but different in ways I prefer it not to be. Thinking about spring and summer clothing is a bit discouraging, but I think a […]

Half a Year with Isla Rey
Happy half birthday, my love. Time is going by way too fast but Chris and I are enjoying every moment of parenting our beautiful girl. She is the sweetest baby. She rolls forward and backward, smiles and laughs all the time, and loves her fur brother, Max. We have quite the routine down and every […]
Current Favorites | Winter Edition
Since baby has arrived, I’ve become quite a homebody. My current winter favorites include books, fashion, and the moisturizer that has saved my skin.
Katelyn & Sudzy | Winter Engagement Portraits
It has been a while since I really picked my camera up. I thought once I had my baby, I would be taking photos all the time and though that is true, I’m almost always using my iPhone. Our phones are way more convenient so we take way more, which makes me so happy. However, […]

My Breastfeeding Journey as a First Time Mom
To say that breastfeeding has been a struggle would be an understatement. I had been told over and over that breastfeeding was hard so I went into it promising myself that I would make sure my baby was fed no matter what. I was so hopeful that once Isla was here it would just work. […]

Autumn Picks | New Mom Wish List
It feels weird typing this out knowing that when it goes up, I will have a baby. I am sitting here at 40 weeks pregnant starting to feel like baby girl will never come, which is, of course, ridiculous. It’s an absolutely perfect Saturday. The sun is shining and the temperature is set to stay […]
Babymoon to New York City
It has been over four months since Chris and I took our babymoon to New York City. I delayed posting this and thought about scrapping it because I didn’t think we took enough photos while in New York. The more I thought about it the sillier that seemed because this blog is my space to […]
Twenty-Eight | Birthday Thoughts
Happy birthday to me! October is the best month to have a birthday and I have always loved it. This birthday is monumental in so many ways. It’s my last birthday childless. I have found that this year I’ve had serious tunnel vision looking forward to meeting Isla so this year, I want to spend […]
