Maternity/Family Photos

Happy New Year everyone!  It’s still January, so technically I think it still applies.

We took these photos at the beginning of December for our holiday cards and it was literally freezing outside.  I think it was 20 degrees and we were so so cold.  You can tell by Carter’s little chapped nose.  Don’t worry we kept having him go to the car for warm ups after short spurts of taking pictures.  It was not the easiest photo session because we had to wake him up from too long of a nap, get him dressed and then stick him in the car to drive about 30 minutes from our house, which made him really crabby.  Plus, he was so upset that there were no animals on the “farm”.  He no joke talked about it for six weeks after we took these photos.  So notes to moms:  be careful where you choose to take family photos!  I had no idea this would be such an issue.

Pregnancy Must-Haves

Pregnancy Must-Have Image

As I enter the third trimester of my second pregnancy, I wanted to share my must-haves for the expecting mama!  These are items that are tried and true in my book.  I highly recommend each and every one of them from my personal experience.  Pregnancy is a beautiful thing, but when you have morning sickness, swollen feet and are experiencing weight gain it doesn’t always feel that way.

Of course you need a good prenatal vitamin, and belly oil to prevent stretch marks, but some of these items like the maternity PJ’s and nursing bra are items that I resisted buying during my first pregnancy for whatever silly reason and items that I have thoroughly enjoyed during my second pregnancy.  I’ve focused on things that would make me feel comfortable and good during a process with an ever-changing body and rotating symptoms.

Here’s my top picks to get you through your 9 months of pregnancy!  Because waiting for your little one to arrive is both the hardest and most beautiful thing.

Phoenix Family Photos & A Very Special Announcement!

Arizona, Family, fashion, lifestyle, Maternity, Motherhood, Parenting, Pregnancy

Hi there!  It’s been a while since I’ve actually created an outfit post or given you all a life update here on the blog and a lot has been going on in our world so I thought it was about time.  This year has been especially busy for us with our kid-free trip to Australia (as seen in these posts from Sydney, the Hunter Valley and Hamilton Island), our big first floor renovation, and just the daily life of two working parents with a toddler.

Yet somehow I feel like 2019 will be even busier.  If you follow my Instagram you already know that…

I’ve been a little M.I.A. recently and all for good reason… our baby boy surprised us by coming almost three weeks early!  We’re so happy that he’s here and have been adjusting to life with a newborn – days spent nursing, napping and snuggling on repeat!  More on the sweet addition to our family later but in the meantime you can see a snap of Carter Price here.

Although my hair routine tends to be pretty basic, i.e. straightened, beach waves or these days air-dryed, it’s nice to break the mold once in a while.  Enter these Jen Atkin Hair accessories from Chloe + Isabel that I came across and with which am now obsessed!

Love & A Hot Pink Maxi

Pink Maxi (3)

Well this pregnancy is just flying by and I can’t believe we only have six weeks until our baby boy is due!  Honestly, I feel like 2016 has been the fastest year of my life.  Which seems to have sped up even more by the fact that my due date has been moved up one week!  Crazy!  So I’ve lost a week of prepping (mentally and physically) and now I’m in overdrive trying to finish up the room, scrub the house/basically wanting to remodel, typical nesting stuff, or so I’m told.

Scott and I took some time before the baby comes to drive down the Pacific Coast Highway from San Jose to L.A.  We logged 530 miles in our rental car and made some amazing stops along the way.  The first leg from Monterey to Big Sur was one of my favorites.

IMG_0354We took a break from decorating the nursery (formerly Scott’s gym) and grabbed a bite to eat on a patio so we could enjoy the lovely weather we’ve been having.

So far, in the nursery we have a crib and a dresser filled with a few cute onesies and things I just couldn’t resist picking up for our little guy.  This past weekend, with some much-needed help from my dad, we focused on giving the space a new coat of paint, installing a new ceiling fan and hanging up some curtains.  I’m so excited to start pulling the baby’s room together and will share more with you in the future.

We had a nice relaxing weekend and headed to brunch in uptown on Sunday.  Brunch is seriously one of my favorite things to do, it’s such a fun social activity and I love trying out new restaurants!  I’ve seriously been craving lemon ricotta pancakes ever since I saw a sign for them outside of a restaurant during our recent trip to NYC.  So I tracked some down at Humboldt thanks to Yelp .
