It’s officially Summer 10x10 time! This challenge always seems to come around when I’m lacking inspiration with my wardrobe. It's got perfect timing because I think the best time to play with limits is when I feel myself reaching for the same pieces.
Read MoreI feel about plastic water bottles the way Taylor Swift feels about her and whomever getting back together. It’s never, ever happening.
Like, ever.
Read MoreWhen we first brought Isaac home, I spent most of my time wearing whatever I'd worn to bed the night before. The first month can be such a shock to your daily rhythm that you can hardly even think about what to wear. I basically only got dressed for church on Sundays.
I started noticing that I felt good about myself on Sundays and could handle the craziness of being a new parent better on those days.
Read MoreWhen Brandon and I found out we were expecting a bundle of joy we debated on whether or not we needed to move. We felt a lot of pressure to move, which is understandable. Most people upsize their living situation when they decide to start a family. But that wasn't in the cards for us, so instead of forcing ourselves into a financial grave, we decided we'd make our studio apartment work for us and our new babe as long as possible.
Shockingly, I quickly got overwhelmed by everything we seemed to "need" for this baby. #saracsm
Read MoreI love skinny jeans almost as much as I love weekends and third wave coffee shops so I was skeptical about adding a boyfriend jean to my collection of denim. I was especially skeptical because I bought these jeans while eight months pregnant. I never buy clothes without trying them on first but I bought them hoping I'd picked the right size.

Read MoreThe Saturday before I went into labor, I woke up, slowly got up, and felt something trickle down my leg. After some furious Googling, I called the advice nurse because there was an ever so slight chance I was leaking amniotic fluid. She told me to monitor it for the next couple of hours and if it continued, to call back.
Of course, I was fine all Saturday.
Read MoreA few weeks ago Brandon and I met up with our friend and brilliant photographer Chloe for a maternity photo session. I was on the fence about whether or not to do a maternity shoot for most of my pregnancy but in the end, I'm so glad we did one. For one, Chloe is an incredible photographer. She knows her way around her camera and has endless vision. Her photographic eye is just out of this world.
Read MoreI don't know what possessed me to want to go to Palm Springs, but whatever it was, I'm glad we went. We spent about 24 hours in the desert and managed to leave refreshed and relaxed! Needless to say, I'm newly obsessed and can't wait to go back.
Read MoreFRIENDS! I’m officially in my third trimester. This pregnancy has just flown right by. I can’t believe we’re less than 100 days from meeting our little guy.
Instead of just listing out thoughts I’ve had during this part of the pregnancy like I did last time, I thought it’d be fun to share a little more this time around. I searched around for other trimester updates and compiled this little list of questions.
