Emma 24 Month Update

It has been a while since I've done an Emma update!  But since she's turning two on Wednesday (*cue the mama tears*) I figured now would be a good time to share what life with a toddler looks like now, some of her favorite things, our schedule, & all that good stuff.  Read More

What I Got From the Nordstrom Sale

I know the Nordstrom Sale is all over the place right now, so I'm not going to inundate you with every single piece.  I glanced at the sale sneak peek last week, made a wish list of items, and then this morning I placed an order for my top picks that were still in stock.  Here's what I got from the Nordstrom Sale.

WIAW ft. Easy Fajitas

I have a new WIAW today and I tried to change it up so I could share some new eats with y'all!  I'm also trying to make a concerted effort to eat more vegetables and so that might be apparent!  Also, the dinner I had tonight was microwavable broccoli & chicken nuggets because Craig had to go to Charlotte for work today and I didn't feel like cooking, but since that's superrrr boring I am sharing what we had for dinner on Monday instead.  Read More

Pregnancy Fitness Guide

I created this guide when I was pregnant to give women workouts that would allow them to exercise in a safe, functional way while getting them stronger and ready for the task of both labor AND motherhood! I am a NASM Certified Personal Trainer and a Pre- and Post-Natal Fitness Specialist, and I am simply going to share what I have learned, what I have been doing, and some recommendations set forth by the American College of Obstetricians & Gynecologists, or ACOG, which is the premier professional organization that represents over 58,000 OBGYNs that is dedicated to improving women’s health and advocates the highest standards of practice.  You should ALWAYS talk to your doctor personally about your own individual needs and always get clearance from your doctor before doing any kind of exercise. Generally speaking, women with uncomplicated pregnancies should be able to continue with exercises that they were doing prior to pregnancy but everyone should receive prior clearance from their doctor as the first step.Read More

What I Ate Wednesday ft. My Current Favorite Breakfast Obsession

While I do try to share new dinner recipes with y'all each week, and I have a new one this week as well, what I wanted to focus more on today is my breakfast because it's my current obsession.Read More

Free People Faves

Sharing some of my favorite I remember the first ever Free People purchase I made.  It was a soft, flowy tunic I picked up at Nordstrom back in 2015...and I loved it.  It kicked off what has been a bit of a love affair with a brand ever since!  You've probably heard me say this several times on Instagram, but Free People is my weakness.  If I could only ever wear one brand of clothing for the rest of my life, that would be it.  They are just so boho and casual and egdy yet romantic and girly and effortless...they have it all.  So today I wanted to round up some of my current Free People Faves with y'all.
