Time is flying by and Cooper is already 6 months old! So I thought it was about time I post an update on Cooper as well as share my reviews for Cooper's new car seat the Cybex Sirona S convertible car seat and his Cybex Gazelle stroller. I'm so happy to be partnering with Cybex for all of Cooper's travel gear, starting with his infant car seat. And now adding these two products, which have been absolutely amazing. They're both super functional as well as stylish and both have special features that are hard to find in other brands. Cooper is growing like a weed. Cooper, at six months, already weighs as much a Mason did when he was one years old. I'm guessing that his length isn't too far off either as Cooper is in the 94th percentile for his length. My boys truly couldn't be more different when it comes to the growth charts and ... Read more...
The Best Nail Art Trends For Summer 2021
One thing I absolutely love having some fun with are my manicures. I love bold designs as well as subtle but interesting combinations.

DIY Modern Wood Trim Accent Wall
I mentioned a while ago that Mason had requested a safari animal theme for his, soon to be, shared room with his baby brother. I finally started working on updating his room now that I am no longer working the temp job I took on at the beginning of the year. The first thing we did was have his closet updated. My dad actually took this project on by himself doing all the demo and finish work, including painting, while I was still working. My father-in-law helped him assemble the Ikea closet system we purchased. I am so excited with how ... Read more...
Safari Themed Baby Shower
Can't believe it but we've made it to baby boy's due date month! Just two weekends ago I had my baby shower to celebrate our baby boy with my family and friends. My mother in law hosted and with the help of one of her sisters was able to create the most adorable safari themed baby shower. Since Mason had decided on a safari themed bedroom for him to share in the future with his baby brother I thought it was best to carry the theme for the baby shower. I was so pleased with how it all turned out. We had a few hiccups but in the end ... Read more...
Favorite Non-Maternity Brand to Wear During Pregnancy
Free People has got to be my favorite non-maternity brand to wear during pregnancy and here's why. The boho brand has bump friendly cuts and typically runs on the larger/oversized side so you can easily wear your same size or just size up one to fit your growing bump. Their dresses are some of my favorite to wear during pregnancy because the styles allow for plenty of room around the bump and are super comfortable, lightweight, and breezy...all things you want in clothes during pregnancy. In Free People I typically wear a size x-small ... Read more...
