Dressing The Bump: 37 Weeks

The sweetest thing happened when I tried on this dress. I walked out of my room and my 3 year old son gasped, “whoa!” He’s never commented on what I’ve worn before so I asked him, “Do I look pretty?” “Yesssssth”, he said with all eyes on me. That’s a “queen of the house” kind […]

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 […]

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; […]

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 […]

Mulberry Press Co.

This week I am 25 weeks into my pregnancy and I feel like I’m growing by the minute. This stage has brought me a greater sense of calm as I feel my baby move and kick me all over the place; it’s also brought some growing pains that have me reaching for comfy dresses and oversized tees. This “Makers […]

The Great Beyond: Bamboo Dress

  It was love when I first slipped this dress over my 16 week bump. This week I could literally feel baby growing and sadly my jean shorts won’t zip up anymore. When this beautiful and simple Luna bamboo dress came in the mail it was not too soon! The Great Beyond creates bamboo clothing for the […]

Play Dress: Sonnet James

I have been a fan of Sonnet James play dresses for a while now. These dresses are stylish, classy, fun and functional! I mean how many dresses do you own that you can wear all day while running after a child and then head to work in? That’s what Whitney, the creator and designer of “Sonnet James” […]

Madewell Spring Picks

If I had to pick an outfit to wear for the rest of my life it would probably be my Madewell jeans…the most comfortable jeans ever, a white tee and a chambray shirt. You just can’t go wrong with this combo and it’s pretty simple to dress up or down. Now that my belly is […]

Maxi Dress: Love Threads

Well friends, I’m nearing the end of my first trimester and I couldn’t be happier! I’m so looking forward to the glow and energy that the second trimester will hopefully bring. This second pregnancy hasn’t been the easiest in terms of feeling like myself and keeping nausea at bay, but then again who ever really […]
