Whew. Life sure is a whirlwind these days. I’m back in the swing of things at work, but I’m still feeling tired with the early morning wake-ups. My days are a lot busier now that I’m only on campus 3 days a week – the time flies! I absolutely love being at home 2 days at week, and am SOO happy I asked for more flexibility. I really miss Em when she’s in the nursery, but I know she is…

We’re down to the final weeks over here, and I feel like I’m ready? Things are in order at work (for now), and the nest is ready. Thanks to Matt for doing 10 million things around the house to get us organized. We had one last meeting with our doula yesterday, and reviewed some of the relaxation techniques for labor. I’m excited! I’d like to make it to my cut and color appointments next weekend, and then we have ZERO…
A couple of women at school have exclaimed “THE BABY HAS DROPPED” when I walked into the workroom. I guess so? I’m not sure! I finally bit the bullet and bought a pair of Tom’s flats I’ve been eyeing for fall (Taupe Suede). Pregnancy has def kept me from spending money on clothes, but I miss shopping, especially this time of year. Is it realistic to think I’ll read some novels this fall? I created a reading list on Amazon…
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…
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…
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…
-I love having fresh flowers in the house! How pretty is this pink bouquet a friend brought over? -We’ve had lots of rainy weather here and I’ve been in the dark audiotorium proctoring standardized tests all week. I can’t wait for some sunshine to hit my eyes! -I jumped on the SnapChat train, and I’m slowly figuring out how it works. My username is leyallen. -I had an action-packed weekend that included Metcon at the gym, visiting Grapevine Brewing for…
We’ve had a fun couple of weekends over here. First, we had a local wedding to attend, which is such a rare occasion. I loooove going to weddings in town because it makes the whole event much more relaxed when you don’t have to travel. Our friends Alex and Akshay got married right around the corner from our house at the beautiful Robert E. Lee park. Though it was a chilly day out, it was absolutely gorgeous! The ceremony was…
