What's fall without apple picking? A couple of weekends ago we made a trip to Kuipers Family Farm for a day of apple picking with Heidy, her husband, and her baby boy. It was the perfect way to kick off the season (even though we had a couple of 80 degree days after that) and really got my excited for Halloween. Kuipers Family Farm is worth the trip - it's the picture perfect place (AKA very Instagram-able) and outside of the pumpkin patch and apple orchards, they have the cutest shop. Inside ... View Post
20 WEEK PREGNANCY UPDATE
I've been meaning to write this post for awhile now, and over the years of blogging, I've read so many pregnancy updates from other women, so I'm excited to write my own! I still refuse to call it a "bumpdate" though. And before we begin, I'm not just practicing for the baby by swaddling my dog... I'm also reading baby books, so don't worry. ;) But let's hope he loves me holding him like this more than Olive does. A little over a month ago I shared the exciting news that my husband and ...

SQUEEKY CLEAN TEETH WITH SMILE BRILLIANT’S CARIPRO
Confession time: I am obsessed with keeping my teeth clean. Ever since I was a kid, I was always on top of my game when it came to taking care of my dental hygiene. In college I was the girl that would come home drunk from the bar at 3AM and no matter how tired I was or how much tequila I had, I always flossed and brushed my teeth. As my dentist says (which yes, I proudly repeat often because I'm a loser), I'm a "a 30-year-old unicorn" because I've never had a cavity. Knock on wood! But I ... View Post
SURPRISE, WE’RE EXPECTING!
This is probably one the biggest secrets I've ever kept! My husband and I are thrilled to announce that we are expecting a baby boy due February 15th! It's been a crazy past few months keeping this surprise a secret, especially since it's been such an exciting time for us. I'm currently 15 weeks (almost 16 weeks) and I'm SO ready to not have to "pretend drink." We found out we were pregnant when I was only 4 weeks along. I had a feeling in the back of my mind that I was pregnant but ... View Post
POLKA DOT DRESS
So I have a very funny story about these photos. Usually my husband is the one behind the lens. We headed out to shoot this look before an early dinner. Before we shoot or any time he uses my camera, I always set up the lighting and settings for him. Even though I still have SO much to learn about my camera, I'm more comfortable messing with the settings than he is. After spending an insanely hot day getting these shots... well, what would have been these shots... we headed home only to find ... View Post
RELAXED SUMMER PLANS
It's been a moment since I've blogged, and it hasn't been for any reason that I've been enjoying taking a slower pace recently. Last summer was a busy one for my husband and I between traveling, Europe, work, and more. Summer is one of the best times in the Chicago, so we've been looking forward to spending more time in the city this season. Outside of going home to Florida next week, which I can't wait for, we haven't made many travel plans in hopes of enjoying the beautiful weather and ... View Post
