Coed Baby Shower
There are many differences about my second pregnancy…including the baby shower. My first baby shower was lovely, but I was on bedrest at that time in my pregnancy and wasn’t able to really enjoy life as fully as I do now. Even with the aches and pains of the third trimester I’m not taking for granted the […]
Petunia Pickle Bottom + Giveaway
You’d never think this was a diaper bag but it’s true….I found the perfect bag to hold all our beach stuff + baby essentials when the wee one gets here. I’ve used this Petunia Pickle Bottom “All Together Tote” nonstop for the past month and it’s gone literally everywhere with me: road tripping, coffee shops, […]
Waylon’s 1st Day of Preschool
Yesterday was Waylon’s first day of preschool. I know it’s a little unconventional to start preschool in July but this busy boy needs more stimulation and play! I thought it would be great to get him accustomed to going to school now, rather then throw him into a new schedule in September when he has […]
Maternity Moments: Ostara Photography
We met up with Kendal Riley the talented photographer on the side of the road in Laguna Canyon on a Sunday afternoon and things were anything but perfect. We were together as a family with even “Nana” in tow and from the looks of the beautiful field in front of us you’d think our boy […]
Baby List Registry
It’s a hidden joy preparing for baby #2. The first time around with my son I was way too over concerned with acquiring the necessities like the right breast pump, nursing pillow, and crib. Making a baby list of items I truly love and know I will use with my second child has been much […]
29 Weeks: Pink Blush Maternity
This week I approach the 29 week mark in my pregnancy with this second little blessing and I’m reminded what an important week it is for me. 29 weeks isn’t normally an important week in a typical pregnancy but with my first son this was the week that I went into preterm labor from a […]
Neve and Hawk
Saturday morning we broke out of the usual routine of pancakes, cartoons, lazy reading, and getting our feet sandy. Waylon, the bump, and I played models for Neve and Hawk clothing brand. I must say I wondered if they knew what they were getting into when they asked us to take photos in their clothing; […]
Sakura Bloom: Styleathon
Baby wearing is something I viewed with my first son as a necessity because of his extreme colic. This time around with my second child I’m looking at baby wearing in a whole new light; its a gift of closeness and bonding I can give him in his first years of life. As a therapist I […]
Simple Photoshoot Family Wear
In a week we have a date with the talented photographer Kendal Riley to have our photos taken for a family maternity shoot. This is so special to me since I wasn’t able to do this with my first child. At 29 weeks with Waylon I went into preterm labor from a placenta abruption and sent […]
Captain Toto
I think I might have been more excited opening up the first letter from “Captain Toto” with Waylon than he was. Reading the letter from Captain Toto about his trip to Paris brought me back to my favorite city and the 4 months I lived there as a “étudiant en art” (Art Student). Once the stickers […]
