one // two // three // four // five // six If I'm being honest, most days I can just stay in my pajamas (one perk to being a stay-at-home working mom).  But on the days that I have meetings or get out to run errands, I still like to look put together (without breaking the bank on maternity clothes that I'll only wear for a few months).  To me, the best things to splurge on while pregnant are jewelry and shoes.  Those are things you can (hopefully) still wear after baby is born.  With that being said, here's my errand outfit for the day. Pardon Remington's photobomb and our unmade bed :) I got the top for $6 during a promotion (it's now $10--still great) and the jeans are on clearance for less than $25!  Here are the rest of the pieces: one - The Rebel Pendant by Stella & Dot is one of my daily go-to pieces because it adds a little flair and can be dressed up or down.  two - I've had this watch for six years now, and I still love

If you don't follow me on Instagram , you may have missed the big news I posted at the end of April...

Me and my sweet girl cheesing after we found out the results. To finish out the surprise, I wanted to present the sex of the baby to Jon the same time he g

It's only been 6 months now, but better late than never, right? Auden turned one on November 11th and we celebrated at our home with close family and friends.  The theme of the party was pumpkins and pearls.  Pun'kin is one of the nicknames I called her when she was little and pearls bring a girly flair and tied into our reveal party when we found out we were having a girl so it seemed perfect. I had so much fun creating her invitation and all of the party printables.  And for a little extra adornment, the invites were tied with jute twine and placed in scalloped envelope. Invites available for purchase here . Here's the sweet birthday girl in her homemade hat.  I love how the bow on top turned out :)  Her birthday stats poster is now available here . The smash cake table with our go-to milk jars (Starbuck frappuccino glasses) with paper straws.  The tree slab plate they are sitting on was also used at our wedding.  The smash cake was a $10 cake from Public and
