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...
Valentine’s Day Home Decor Inspiration
Ever since taking down our Christmas home decor I've been feeling like our living room needs a little refresh. We recently purchased some new living room decor that really brightens up the space and gives our home more personality. But, I'm missing all the extra that the holidays bring so this year I think I'm going to add some Valentine's Day home decor. This most certainly will be a first but I think it will be a fun tradition to start. Mason loves when our house is all decorated so I'm sure he will love a little extra hearts and ... Read more...
Differences Between First and Second Pregnancies
I'm 16 week pregnant today and figured it's about time I write up a first trimester post. I thought I would share the differences between first and second pregnancies because I was surprised at just how different mine have been. You've probably heard the phrase, "No two pregnancies are the same," but that's not just person to person but pregnancy to pregnancy. With Mason I was nauseous during my first trimester but mainly when I drove. I don't recall the nausea lasting ALL DAY. There are a number of differences I want to point out, so ... Read more...
Amazon Cable Knit Cardigan
When I think of Fall/Winter I think of being cozy at home. And when you have to go outside layering with an Amazon cable knit cardigan is a great way to feel all warm and cozy. I've got a few Amazon cable knit cardigans that I love. This one I ended up getting in two colors because it's the perfect length. It was an Amazon Fashion find and very reasonably priced. The shipping did take a long time but I know so much has been delayed due to COVID. I definitely plan on wearing it a lot this winter especially paired with leggings at home. ... Read more...
2021 New Years Resolution: Year of Less
Happy first Monday of the New Year! I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season. I took a nice long and much needed break from the blog and social media. Spent quality time with my family, continued powering through our ADU project that we are getting so close to finishing and focused on me and our growing baby. I'm planning to post a first trimester recap soon to compare the major differences between this pregnancy and my pregnancy with Mason so be on the lookout for that soon if you're pregnant or just interested in hearing how ...
