• a third trimester pregnancy update and q&a

    i thought it was time to do a little pregnancy update — i haven’t written that much here about it and i thought i should before i’m no longer pregnant!

    the pregnancy overall has been relatively painless, i never had morning sickness but i did throw up a single french fry in the first trimester lol. now that i’m in the third trimester, i’m definitely getting less and less comfortable — lower back aches, i’m starting to sleep worse, and i was diagnosed with gestational diabetes so that has been a pain but i’m managing (also going to do a post entirely on GD).

    we’re working on the nursery now and i can’t believe we only have about 5 weeks left! Read More

    the nursery closet

    ahhhh this was a long project and there were quite a few times i wish we’d just hired a custom closet company but i thought this way would be way cheaper (a few people told me that it definitely was which i needed to hear because there were quite a few hiccups!)

    my baby sprinkle!

    this weekend i had the most lovely sprinkle thrown for me and i can’t get over it. for those of you who don’t know, a sprinkle is a shower for a second mom — at first i felt like it was cringey to have one at all, but it’s been five years since i had arlo and after everything that’s gone down the last couple of years it was so nice to have a celebration for baby girl and be with so many women i love.Read More

  • cute school supplies

    is this the most colorful roundup i’ve EVER DONE?! arlo’s love of colors has made me realize how a few pastel colors make him very happy haha. i mean he even says his favorite color is “rainbow”. he’s getting me more into them!! 

    anyway, school starts back up sooner than it should here in california, so i wanted to round up some cute school supplies for all your little kiddos! lots of backpacks, lunchboxes, and some elementary school supplies they may need! 

    also, since i get asked all the time– the links for arlos name labels and stamps!

    HOLOGRAM WATERPROOF LABELS

    i got these “rainbow” labels for all of his hard things like water bottles, lunch box, notebooks etc. i got font #5

    CLOTHING STAMP

    i’ve been using this on arlos school clothes for years now! super happy with it — the ink doesn’t bleed through and they’ve held up well against a million washes. (it’s the small size)

  • a bagel brunch baby shower

    we threw my bff this little baby shower over 3 years ago now– but i realized i’d never shared it here and i thought it turned out so cute you’d want to see it!

    it was a simple little bagel brunch at her apartment, with a giant incredible brunch spread and so many bagels (ironic now because she was diagnosed celiac later!!)Read More

  • pretty everything : cute toilet paper holders

    can’t believe i haven’t done this roundup yet! tp holders are one of those tiny things that you might not think about until you’re done renovating your bathroom or if you’re trying to make a bathroom that isn’t your style slightly cuter– i think all of the ones i found are so pretty!!
