Happy Memorial Day! With how exhausted I am tonight, you would think that we spent the weekend out in the sun, running around to different events and doing all things Memorial Day weekend. But in reality, Ricky and I pegged this weekend for getting a ton of things crossed off of our to-do list. The last month or so has been so crazy busy that we made a plan to

A while back I mentioned that I have a serious obsession with baby shoes. It’s like my inner shoe-aholic has transformed from just being a women’s shoe fiend to now needing to get my hands on all of these adorable baby shoes that are so-teeny-tiny-i-love-it! Anyway, last night I decided that I needed some moccasins. And on my search for moccasins, I encountered kiddie moccasins made by Frye. And then

Remember a couple of weeks ago when I said I was in love with the new maternity store at the MOA? Remember when I said how great it was, that they give you free snacks and that they had some really great pieces? Well, it was true, I definitely was/am in love with that store. And then I made the mistake of thinking that maybe maternity stores aren’t so bad.

Pregnancy brain is a real thing. I would actually go so far as to classify it as “slightly nutty”. My hubby says that it just amplifies my usual self, which could be a good or a bad thing. He didn’t clarify. Regardless, here’s what pregnancy brain does to you at five months pregnant: 1. Sometimes Pretty much all the time when I’m at the store or catch people looking at

Keeping in line with my “simple recipes” track, I have the BEST baked potato recipe ever. The crust is crispy, the inside is steamy and delicous. You’ll crave it for your Sunday dinner side. Or for your any day of the week side. The best part? Not only is it simple and delicious, it’s really good for you too! At least, it’s really good until you load it up with

I get a lot of questions that centralize around one BIG question: how I met my husband. So I’m chronicling the year long journey I made from single city gal to married and pregnant wifey. Once a week I’ll post a chapter of our story – enjoy! It was a dreary, standard Saturday in March. I got up early to get to my boxing gym – I had an hour

I feel very pregnant today. Just thought I’d kick things off with that. I’ve been hearing all about this laundry list of second trimester pregnancy symptoms and I think about five of them hit me with full force over the last week or so. Seriously. And as a TMI WARNING, they’re not all the most flattering symptoms I could have imagined. But hey, at least I have some remedies if

After Ricky and I moved in together last summer, I started to become much more domestic. Once I was pregnant, that increased ten fold. Not that I didn’t cook and clean before, because I did. I just didn’t enjoy it as much as I do now. Quite frankly, I sometimes creep myself out by how good at this whole housewife thing I’ve become. I think it’s some kind of combination

1. It’s Friday – in case you didn’t know already – and it’s hot outside. A full blown ninety degrees with lots o’ humidty for the hair. Does this mean that it’s going to be a crazy hot summer? Because if we are…well, in the words of Elle Woods: I object. Maybe the weather gods just can’t make up their mind on the temperature again. And should also stop watching

Now that we finally know we’re having a boy and where we’re going to live, I’m giving some serious thought to what we’re going to do with the baby’s nursery. I’m not making any solid plans quite yet, because I want to wait til we’re officially into the new house and can measure for furniture and have a better idea of what the layout of the room is going to
