    Shay’s 9 Month Update + Our Everyday Schedule

    February 23, 2020 in LIFESTYLE, MOTHERHOOD
    It’s been a while, guys. Life with three tiny ones is busy. But also the best. It’s crazy to think Shay is now 9 months old. I feel like I was just writing his birth story. Seriously – time goes by SO fast when you have kids. I’m sure all parents can relate! I wanted

    September 19, 2019 in LIFESTYLE

    If you’re contemplating whether or not to plan a Disney Cruise, I’ll just get straight to the point – you should do it. They can get pricey but are worth it in every way. To start off, I think it’s important to talk about...

    On Wednesday, we had our 36 week appointment! I’ve progressed a little bit from last week and went from nothin’ (no dilation, cervix very high) to… no dilation, but 50% effaced. I’m not too surprised because I’ve felt pretty good. Besides the overall discomfort...

    July 16, 2018 in LIFESTYLE

    This summer I’ve really been into charcuterie boards (I’ve had two of them). Not going to lie – up until three months ago, I didn’t know what charcuterie was. To me, it’s called a meat and cheese board. Otherwise known as the appetizer I huddle...

    Happy Friday + hello third trimester. 👋🏼 tha Happy Friday + hello third trimester. 👋🏼 that came quick! I’ll be 28 weeks this weekend and we’ll get to see bub on Monday. ♥️ 

I always look forward to my appointments. Mostly to check in on baby - but also, I love to see all the OBs. 😆 I guess having 4 kids in 5 years with the same doctors (and nurses) will make them feel like friends. 

I’m officially at that point where I’m exhausted by the end of the day and if I don’t relax, Braxton Hicks start. Warm baths and lots of water have been game changers this time around. 

I think this is the first pregnancy (..actually, the first time ever 😅) that I’ve been properly hydrated. Swipe right to see the water bottle I’ve been finishing everyday for the last month 💦 I have noticed a huge difference in my energy level and honestly feel so much better - no more mid-afternoon slump! 

Hope everyone has a great weekend. 💫 #28weekspregnant #inspirepregnancy #ltkbump

    the boys got to visit Santa and Mrs. Claus today! the boys got to visit Santa and Mrs. Claus today! 🎅🏻 Drake is asking for the game There’s a Yeti in My Spaghetti (gonna enjoy the $10 “main gift” request while it lasts 😆) and Ford is asking for Mack from the movie Cars. Shay LOVES puppies, so he may be getting something special from Santa (1000% will not be a real dog. We already have 3 animals in the house). 👦🏻👦🏼👶🏻

Our Santa visit looked different this year but @waterlemonkids did a great job with this Covid-friendly option. 👍🏼

    kudos to Nate for turning our unused loft into a 5 kudos to Nate for turning our unused loft into a 5th bedroom. wanted to do something fun with the exterior wall + since we don’t have a gallery wall in the house, we decided to go that route. love how it turned out! I’m thinking a floor vase w/pampas grass where the tree is. 🌾

P.S. the only requirement for this space was a dimmable light. who else loves mood lighting? 🕯
