Sorry for the hiatus from this series guys - but I'm back! Baby-growing has been taking a toll on me the last few weeks - especially come Monday morning. I'm just hoping I can make it through the last couple weeks without growing much larger. I was told I resembled a lollipop this weeke…

It’s springtime, which means it’s chick season! I’ve been so tempted by all the chicks showing up in the feed stores, but with baby on the way, I’m done growing my flock of ladies for awhile. Even though I can’t get any chicks myself, I thought it might be worth…

I'm pretty much home bound the next few weeks since baby is coming soon, but that hasn't stopped me from reminiscing about traveling! I realized I never blogged about all our vacation spots last summer, so I thought I'd kick if off with our trip to NYC last June. I hadn't been to the city s…

I used to hear women in their third trimester exclaim that they were so ready to have baby out, and I'd think "why? It's got to be so much better to have them in than out!" Well, I've reached the point of understanding as everyday gets a bit more uncomfortable - and I still have 6 weeks to g…

A few weeks ago, Eric and I took our final vacation as a family of two! I didn't want to hop on a plane, so we decided to stay close to home. We settled on Charleston, SC, which Eric hadn't been to since he was a kid and I was eager to revisit since taking my sister there a few years ago. N…

Whew - the third trimester tiredness is REAL ya'll. Between not sleeping at night and fatigue during the day, I pretty much need a constant supply of cat naps and sugar. Also real? The nesting! We did some hardcore home project this weekend - everything from installing baseboards t…

One of the most overwhelming things about having a baby is figuring out what stuff you actually need to raise the thing. Companies push a lot of unnecessary products onto you, and it seems like every mommy blogger essentials list is just chock full of cute luxury items that they got for…

Happy Monday! Trying to be positive at the start of this week, even though it's super dreary here in Charlotte and I haven't slept in days thanks to some restless legs and dance party that happens in my womb every night at 3am.  Despite all that, Eric and I still had a fun and producti…

Hey everyone! Here to share some photos and details from my sweet baby shower this past weekend.  When I was planning my friend Annie's shower a few months ago, one of her girlfriends sent me a post to a succulent-themed shower for my future baby (she didn't even know I was pregnant at…

Holy cow, it's already Monday again and it's MARCH?! This year is definitely flying by. This past weekend was a crazy one as we had my baby shower, and had a lot of family and close friends come into town. It was so much fun (and crazy trying to get the house ready), that now I'm wiped! I'll…
