Summer Sandals for Any Occasion

If I’m not in sneakers right now, I am absolutely in a pair of sandals. This is true any time during the summer, but especially now that I’m pregnant. I just need to be in COMFORTABLE shoes — bonus points if they’re cute too! This summer, I’ve found some awesome sandals, both flats and heeled, that could be paired with shorts, dresses, and jeans. I’m mostly sticking with flats these…

Summer Hats & Sunglasses

It’s been a minute since I’ve done a post exclusively on accessories, so I decided to share some of the hats and sunglasses I’ve been wearing nonstop this summer. I’m always wearing a hat to keep my face covered whenever we’re outside on walks or just hanging out in the backyard but being pregnant in the summer is a whole different story. During pregnancy, you’re way more susceptible to sun damage…

You also were into this super cute purple swimsuit and the pink bikini swimsuit that would be perfect for a beach…

What I Read in May

I’m back with another “What I Read” post! In May, I only read two books (versus my goal of three), but honestly, they were both so good that I don’t even care. I feel like I got a lot out of both of these and I’m excited to share them with you. During pregnancy, my emotions are all over the place (hello, hormones), so I like to read books that…

Weeknight Enchiladas

When Duncan and I first had Four, we were lucky enough to have some of our friends in Dallas bring over food for the first few weeks until we got back on our feet.
