FROM LOTIONS TO APPS: MY FAVORITE PREGNANCY PRODUCTS

Hello from 26 weeks + 6 days! I can not believe that in one week I will be entering my third trimester. It's funny because when I follow celebrity pregnancies, they feel like they last eternity (do you know how agonizing the wait to see Kylie Jenner's baby was?) but I swear my own pregnancy has flown by. The first trimester I felt pretty nauseous and sick, but around 15 weeks I started to feel more like myself. Unfortunately my anemia has worsened with pregnancy and has me very tired and a bit ...

#BABYBADBERG: OUR BABY SHOWER

I'm writing this after our 10 day vacation in sunny South Florida! We got back a couple of days ago after spending almost two weeks down south relaxing by the pool, hanging with family and friends, and celebrating our baby boy. Since the holidays are coming up and I won't be able to travel after, we had an earlier than normal baby shower at Sundy House in Delray, Florida. And it was one of the most special days we've ever experienced! My mom and Heidy, with the help of some of my friends, ... View Post

KICKING OFF FALL WITH A DAY OF APPLE PICKING

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

I’m all in this season and fully invested, because what else do I have to do on a Monday night other than judge a ton of people on a reality show? Also, what is up with Queen Victoria?
We are HUGE @DisneyPlus fans in this family and no We are HUGE @DisneyPlus fans in this family and now that Jude is getting older, we’re really loving family movie nights! So we’re SO excited for Disney+’s new original movie Flora & Ulysses, streaming February 19th! Flora & Ulysses is about a girl named who befriends a squirrel she rescues named Ulysses, and learns he possesses unique superhero powers that take them on an adventure that changes Flora’s life. I also love that it’s based on a book, and I can’t wait for Jude to watch it since he’s obsessed with the squirrels in our neighborhood. 😂 You can swipe right to check or visit the link in my bio to watch the full trailer for @Floraandulysses, streaming exclusively on Disney+ February 19th! @DisneyStudios #FloraAndUlysses #DisneyPlus #ad #hbtfloraulysses
Got a little weather FOMO when I saw it was snowin Got a little weather FOMO when I saw it was snowing in Chicago, but we took the boys to a nearby botanical garden (we were the only people there) and enjoyed the 70 degree weather so much, I stopped missing the snow reaaaal quick. 😉 Also the @sollybaby wrap may be our most used baby product. It’s so comfortable, easy to put on, and Heath absolutely loves it. I may start carrying Olive in it when he’s too big for it.
Hooray for 3 months! 💙We’re officially out of Hooray for 3 months! 💙We’re officially out of the fourth trimester and we’re really starting to see his little personality come through. He gives the most hilarious judgmental looks (who can blame him? He’s a 2020 baby), smiles when anyone talks to him, and loves to watch his big brother play.  He’s only been here for a few days but he’s loving the Florida sunshine! ☀️ #heyheathjoseph #childhoodunplugged #babyboy #lifewithlittles
After driving 24 hours we finally made it to paren After driving 24 hours we finally made it to parents’ house in Florida! Driving with two kids under two, two dogs, and enough suitcases to dress an army was hectic to say the least, but it’s always the crazy ideas that make the best memories. And even though we’re not going anywhere, the change of scenery and ability to be outside is going to be such a treat for us. Jude is already living his best life in nothing but a diaper while Olive has already traumatized the ducks in the backyard. 😂 Side note: this gallery wall at their house is my favorite, and I can’t believe how much Jude looks like my dad as a baby (third photo from the top left!) #heyjudeharrison
