La Jolla Bachelorette

Pregnancy Travel

Do you get a friends baby moon too? If so, I had an excuse to take one for my bff’s bachelorette party last weekend. Sadly, I can’t uphold my duty as a bridesmaid since the wedding is so close to my due date. Matt headed to Nantucket for a guys weekend, so we each got one more ‘party’ before we sit in our house for at least 6 months:) I can’t say I’ll miss getting on a plane. We rented…

Bermuda Part II: Exploring the Island

Amazing Restaurants Pregnancy Travel

The rest of our time in Bermuda was spent doing a lot of lounging and exploring different beaches. We also loved the infinity pool at our hotel, but didn’t discover how awesome it was until the end of the trip. Floating on noodles felt heavenly. The beach club at our hotel was perfect for swimming – they had really nice chairs, hammocks, and a restaurant, and it was rarely crowded. We spent a couple of full days there – swimming,…

Bermuda Part I: St. George

Pregnancy Travel

As you probably gathered from Instagram, Matt and I took a babymoon to Bermuda! We wanted a low-key beach vacation, and since so many places have Zika, we landed on Bermuda. I hadn’t heard much about it before we went and have literally never met anyone who has been (aside from a cruise stop) – I’m so glad we discovered this gem that’s so close to the east coast, because it’s an amazing little island! We spent our first three…

NC Shower

Durham Restaurants Pregnancy

Hello! It’s been a while since I’ve posted, as I’ve been out and about before I hunker down for these last few months. Matt and I traveled back to NC for a quick visit with my parents and a shower put on by the lovely ladies of the church I grew up attending. On Thursday, my parents took us out to the new Durham Hotel’s rooftop bar, and we met up with my good friend, Brooke and her husband! My,…

Thoughts from a Thursday

Life Pregnancy Ramblings

-I think I’m nesting? We discovered some mold around our AC vents and had to move into the guest room while it’s being remediated. As a result, Matt and I cleaned out our closet and old files, moved his office out of the nursery, and did a ton of things around the house that I may have put off for years! -The timing of summer break has been perfect, as I have a surge of energy and have been running…

Scenes from NC

Life Pregnancy Travel

Hi friends, We are back at home in Texas after a lovely trip to visit friends and family in North Carolina, both at our alma mater and at the beach. As we traveled back from the coast to Charlotte to catch our flight, we learned of the horrifying news in Orlando on Sunday. It’s such a sad time for our country, and it’s disheartening that things only seem to be getting worse. We also learned of my dear aunt Pat…

In-Law Long Weekend

Uncategorized

Hello!  I’m sitting at the airport on my way to Matt’s college reunion, waiting on a two hour delay:( I’m officially finished with the 15-16 school year though! Woohoo! Last weekend, Matt’s parents came to visit and we had a fabulous time!  We cooked for them on Friday, and then I took Matt’s mom to the gym on Saturday.  I haven’t felt that great doing yoga lately, so I did some lifting while Candace went to a vinyasa class. And…

Sweet Meets Spicy

Restaurants

This post was sponsored by Starbucks as part of an Influencer Activation. I received compensation and complimentary products to facilitate my review. I switched over to tea and few years ago when trying to figure out some stomach issues, and I’ve never looked back! My go-to tea in the winter is the organic TAZO® chai tea bags, and then I usually switch to the Apricot Vanilla Creme in the warmer months. Though I drink my daily tea unsweetened, I like…

Lots of excitement over here, as I have two weeks of school left until summer break! Woohoo!! It’s that point in the year where fun events are happening right and left – the 8th grade lunch, PA appreciation lunch, graduation, bridge into middle school, and lots of performances. I have never been more ready for a break though – I suddenly feel like I have one million things to do at home. Outside of work, I’ve been enjoying a few…
