It's that time of year again, the 2022 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale and like prior years I've got all the tips! I've changed my shopping habits over the years and am really limiting what I am purchasing during the NSALE. The NSALE is a great time for stocking up on basics, investing in classic pieces, and saving on luxury items you've wanted but have yet to purchase. Like in previous years, I anticipate that shopping the 2022 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale will get frustrating. Some popular items like my Barefoot Dreams cardigan (I own it in charcoal grey) or my Spanx faux leather leggings sell out super fast, so it pays to shop the sale as early as you can if you are looking to add these Fall closet staples to your wardrobe or if it’s time to swap out your tried and true favorite for a new one. PRO Tip: Get a head start and wishlist all ... Read more...

Cooper Ford’s Birth Story
Just like with our first Mason James, I wanted to share Cooper Ford's birth story. It's true what people say, that each pregnancy and birth are so different. I couldn't have had a more different experience for Cooper's birth as compared to Mason's. If you didn't read Mason's birth story, you can find it here...but long story short, I was induced at 37 weeks due to complications and after my water broke in the hospital Mason was born less than 3 hours later and after only 3 pushes. They cut me to help with his delivery, again because ... Read more...

I decided on the Cybex Aton 2 SensorSafe™ car seat for a number of reasons. The Aton 2 is part of the Cybex Gold Collection and has a number of safety and design features ... Read more...
