It's that time of year again when Nordstrom selects some Fall 2021 items in each shopping category and places them on sale for a limited time before the Fall retail season officially kicks off. I have been shopping the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale for the past few years and feel like I have a pretty good handle on things, including best practices for shopping the highly anticipated 2021 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. Like previous years, shopping the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale can be frustrating. Some popular items like my Barefoot Dreams cardigan or Spanx faux leather leggings (regular and maternity) sell out super fast so it pays to shop the sale early 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...

Safari Themed Nursery
I had been trying to decide on a theme for our shared room/nursery for Mason and our new baby for the past few weeks and when I couldn't decide on my own I decided to ask Mason what he would want. After giving him a few different options he quickly decided on a safari theme. I think it was definitely the right choice to let him decide since he's sharing the room and I want him to feel like it's still his room too. So while this room isn't a dedicated nursery I still think everything that I've picked so far definitely works for a ... Read more...
Tiny Home Interior Inspiration
Some of you may remember me talking about our latest big home design project Justin and I started back in 2020. We've been converting a detached shed, previously used for my home office and gym, into an ADU. Without changing the roof line we were able to create a comfortable, livable space. While I miss having a separate space for working out and a dedicated work area the potential of this tiny home is huge. I thought I would give you a little home tour along with a few photos we snapped throughout the process. It's definitely been ... Read more...
Bump Friendly Non-Maternity Sweater Dress
If you're looking for a bump friendly non-maternity dress, then a sweater dress is one of the best. This one in particular is form fitting but stretchy and will definitely grow with you and your bump. The ruffle hem detail definitely makes this dress and gives it a little flair! I think as my baby bump grows this bump friendly non-maternity sweater dress will look even better. It will also be great postpartum, so really is just an all around winner and it's only $36!! I sized up one to a medium but think I probably could have gotten ... Read more...
Powder Cannon Gender Reveal
I decided that for this baby we would do a gender reveal. We didn't do one with Mason because Justin and I were both at my obgyn appointment for the ultrasound and so we were able to get the news at the same time. Also, we didn't have a 4 year old, like we do now, who had his idea of what we're having. I really wanted to get him excited for his new sibling and thought that doing a powder cannon gender reveal would be fun for him! We didn't have a big party to do the reveal, because COVID, but also because I wanted it to be about Mason ... Read more...
