Hole in one

Last night, I got sucked into this book: Source The lovely Jenna recommended it, and she pretty much never does wrong when it comes to nighttime Kindle reading suggestions. I ended up doing the โ€œone more chapterโ€ thing until it was way past bedtime, and now here I am, groggy and so excited that itโ€™s…

Last night, Bella would not get off my belly no matter how many times you kicked her. Maybe she already knows that youโ€™re going to be best friends, just like she knew you were there before I did. Your room is (pretty much) ready, your clothes and bedding are washed, just waiting for you. Iโ€™m…

A glowing meal

Hi friends! Howโ€™s your morning going? Weโ€™re on our second day of gloomy doomy rain over here- I kind of love it.   Since I didnโ€™t want the weather to get in the way of Bellaโ€™s walking schedule, I took her to walk indoors to PetSmart. She starts squeaking like a little bird as soon…

Take your workout with you

7 preg must-haves

Iโ€™d been waiting to write this post until the end of my pregnancy, and before I knew it, here I am. Just shy of 37 weeks, baby will be full-term this week, and can make her arrival whenever sheโ€™s ready! Itโ€™s usually more common for first-time moms to have a longer pregnancy, but my stepmom…
