Gift Guide for The In-Laws
I find in laws and parents difficult to buy for so here are some ideas. Towel Warmer– most parents probably wouldn’t treat themselves to something like a towel warmer so it’s a fun pamper type gift.

L.L.Bean Boat and Tote– Can gift on its own with their monogram or fill it up with some goodies!

Things I’ve Learned during Pregnancy
As I sit in my hospital bed gazing at our new baby girl it got me thinking of things I’ve learned during my pregnancy because I can’t believe 96 hours ago there was a baby inside me and now I’m holding her. 1. Hire that house cleaner: we did one deep clean and I felt so much lighter. I couldn’t have been more happy! You deserve it too. You’ve been creating human life for the last ten months. 2. Don’t have a baby shower past 32 weeks in my opinion: you are not going to want to to build or organize anything in the last few weeks so do yourself…

Gift Guide for Him
Gifts for men are always so hard but Tim helped me out here with a few! Thursday Boots: Tim suggested these. I guess they are all the rage and style amongst men lately. Long Wharf Supply Co Sweater: These fisherman sweaters are such high quality and made with recycled oyster shells, recycled water bottles, and cotton. I own one myself and it’s my favorite sweater. Angels Horn Record Player- I think it’s just a cool unique gift most people wouldn’t buy themselves. It looks cool and so many artists now sell vinyl that it would get great use too! Lulu Lemon Underwear– Tim loves these underwear. Idk why they are…

Baby Girl’s Nursery
Her nursery is all set! I knew I wanted to mostly get her nursery done prior to my third trimester because I’d be too big and tired to do anything. I also knew I wanted her nursery to be neutral coastal vibe with blues and pinks mixed in. I’m not a theme person so I didn’t want it all Winnie the Pooh or under the sea for example. We live in a tiny cape house full of odd angles and tight corners so options weren’t plentiful, but I am so pleased with how it turned out! I got a lot of items like frames, mirrors, and baskets from Home Goods…

Bathroom Makeover
We moved in to our house in 2021. From the moment we stepped in the house I knew we had to redo the bright red bathroom. Recently my dad, grandpa, and Tim helped to create the bathroom of my dreams. They added board and batten on the base and wallpaper on the top to really brighten it up. I changed out the faucet and hardware to gold and added my favorite piece, the Ballard Designs Atoll mirror. Now every time I enter my downstairs bathroom I get so happy. It’s amazing how changing a space can change a mood. Linking the bathroom items below: Wallpaper:…

1st Trimester Must Haves
I know everyone has different experiences with pregnancy. I’m just sharing what worked for me during my first trimester. I barely had nausea I was just EXHAUSTED, constipated, and bloated. I’m paranoid about stretch marks even though I know it’s inevitable. I got this cocoa butter set from Palmer’s I’ve been using. It’s really hydrating and I like the smell. I was always hungry and wanted a snack so Lara bars were my best friends. The constipation was outrageous so I needed a stool softener because I couldn’t live like that anymore 😂 If you know me you know I love a drink. I found Lyre’s non-alcoholic spirits and made…

April Favorites
Sharing my April Favorites a little late, but I still am loving on all these items! Rare Beauty Blush– I was so scared of this blush for so long because it is so pigmented BUT I tried it and I’m obsessed. The color is flawless. It blends like a dream and stays on all day. I got the color hope. Hallway light– I got this hallway light from Amazon to replace my boob lights. It’s budget friendly and cute. Definitely super bright if you use high wattage bulbs since there’s four so beware of that before you install them. I made the mistake and it lit up my…
