A collection of my favorite graphic t-shirts right now.

To know me, is to know I LOVE sunless tanners. I like to try different brands and applications all the time and share my favorites.

I’ve always wanted to have a beautiful and well organized pantry, but to be honest, it’s not cheap!  The containers really feel like an investment, but they are so worth it in the end. 

Some of my favorite shots have me running out of the frame after I sat him down. He would crawl away so fast unless he was being entertained! They are so real and candid, and those are definitely the memories I want to keep forever.

Do you ever just feel like you need a whole new wardrobe as the new season approaches? Yeah, same. Sometimes your closet needs a few fresh new pieces to spruce it up and make you feel like you did a complete overhaul.

It seems a little late to write this post but I wanted to make sure I really reflected on it before I shared.  The first trimester was not easy, honestly for either of us.  Which is why I think it’s important to share the first trimester, from both perspectives.

Years ago, I worked at a tanning salon right after high school and during college. I was SO tan…but tanning every day in a tanning bed is so unbelievably dangerous

Our midwife called him a stargazer.  He was face up when he came out, which she said is a much harder way to get them out.  But he was face up and eyes open, and ready to be here.  I love that she called him a stargazer, bc his room theme is stars and the moon.  It just fit so perfectly.  

When I first started thinking about my hospital stay, I knew I also wanted to bring something for my nurses.  Nurses in general are some of the hardest working people, but labor and delivery nurses are a whole other breed! 

Everyone keeps telling me to really enjoy these last moments with my bump.  They all say how much I will miss it when Luca is finally here and my body is “back to normal”.  I can definitely see now, finally, what they have been talking about. 

This last weekend was my baby shower!  I decided on a blue agate theme baby shower, and was so thrilled with how it turned out.  My sister and my moms (and SO many others) worked so hard to make it the most wonderful day.  Oh, and we just so happened to announce his name at the shower! 😉

To be totally honest, it wasn’t a planned shoot at all.  I knew I wanted to bring a few maternity gowns and dresses with me on our trip to California.  I also knew that there was a good possibility we would be too busy or too tired to even take these pictures.
