CarRy All tote

I saw this bag on Etsy & instantly fell in-love. It’s the perfect mix of a simple design and glam… and now it is on its way to me from Lithuania!

Crib Bedding

After hours of experimenting on my custom bedding app, I finally settled on the bedding for the nursery.

Candied Walnuts

I’m making a salad today for a family gathering and want to add some candied walnuts. I think I’ll try this recipe.

Sometimes you see something and it just makes you smile. I’m in love with the simplicity and beauty of this flower arrangement and can’t wait to recreate it in my own home.

It’s officially babymoon time and I’m so excited! Cabo, here I come. Not exactly you’re typical Cabo vacation… no tequila shots or margaritas… but I’m still excited for some warm weather and pool time. You know what they say, everything looks better with a tan, and that includes a pregnant belly. So I thought I’d open my suitcase and give you a glimpse into my babymoon essentials.

1. “Educational” reading – Jenny McCarthy Belly Laughs; Amazon
2. Beachy-Chic footwear – aka flip flops; Havaianas
3. Bikini to flaunt the belly; Target
4. Hat for sun protection; Nordstrom
5. Camera for capturing memories; similar Amazon
6. A cover-up to hide the bum – Mara Hoffman; Shopbop
7. My all-time fave sunglasses; Marc by Marc Jacobs; Bloomingdale’s
8. Magazine for poolside; Elle Decor

I’m now fully in nursery decorating mode… is this what they call nesting? We’ve gone with a muted gray on the walls and white furniture. Now it’s time to bring in a little bit of color! One of the key items on the list is a rug, and I’m thinking pink. Nothing too girly… something with personality and style that our daughter can grow into over time. Here are 5 rugs in contention. Would love to know what you think!
