Whew! What a blur these last few months have been! Back when I was pregnant with Sophie, the pregnancy updates were a lot more frequent and timely! ;) But now I'm chasing around a busy toddler and our schedule has been quite full lately, so it's taken even longer for me to get around to blogging! In today's post, I'm going to share some of the basic highlights (and some of the more difficult things, I suppose) from the first trimester this time around! (PS - in case you missed it, here's our … [Read more...]
A Day at the Zoo
Recently we got to spend the day down in Iowa with family, and our adventure for the day was the zoo! We visited the Blank Park Zoo in Des Moines, and it was a really sweet day! Sophie's favorite part was getting to feed a giraffe, but the whole zoo was all interesting and exciting to her anyway! :) It's so fun because she loves reading about animals at home, but then she gets extra excited when she sees them at the zoo in real life! Sophie and her cousin Mia got to wear matching "sister" … [Read more...]
Some exciting news!
I'll let Sophie spill the beans... :) We're excited to announce that we're becoming a family of 4!! Thank you, God, for this precious gift! Baby #2 is due at the end of November and we can't wait to meet our little one! I'll share more in future blog posts, but right now I'm just enjoying the fact that I'm in the second trimester now and feeling much better! :) … [Read more...]

May really hasn't flown by for me this year...but still, now that we've concluded the month, I'm finding myself surprised that June is here! It was in the 50s when I started writing this post, but eventually we did get hit with some truly summery weather! :) I've been collecting a list all month long of my favorites, and I'm excited to share them with you today!

Staying Active as a Busy Mom: My New FitDesk Bike! (+ a coupon code for you!)
I've never been great about working out. It just hasn't been a big priority of mine, although I've been wanting to change that! Enter today's blog post. :) Today's post is sponsored by FitDesk. I was provided with a bike. All opinions are, as always, my very own! :) One of the biggest roadblocks for me when it comes to fitness is that I have so much else I'd rather be doing! Oftentimes, my "free time" comes during nap time when my daughter is sleeping for two hours, and I tend to use … [Read more...]
Mother’s Day Afternoon Tea Party (with recipes!)
If you've been around here for a while, then you know I have the tendency to be pretty ambitious with recipes and party planning! The rest of the time, I try not to go "all out" in my everyday life. :) But when I get bit by the party planning bug (and that usually includes the baking bug!), I get really excited. I love the whole process. Today I wanted to share with you what all I made for our Mother's Day tea party! A COUPLE OF OUR PAST PARTIES THAT I LOVED PLANNING:Our Gender Reveal … [Read more...]

If you've followed me on Instagram for a while, then you've probably heard me mention Kidizen! :) Oh, Kidizen.

It's something I highly, highly recommend to all mamas, because we all know how easily cute baby … [Read more...]
