37 weeks baby bump.

October 9, 2014 · 5 Comments
Filed Under: baby #2

Happy 37 weeks to my baby bump! And my goodness, is it getting cramped inside my tummy! ;) I’ve kinda resorted to picking things up with my toes, asking Max for help… or just leaving it until Zack gets home at night. We had an ultrasound the other day and the technician was able to… [Read More]

Small Spaces: Tip #1

October 2, 2014 · 17 Comments
Filed Under: inspiration, Los Angeles, our home, simple living

Tip #1: have your home showcase the things that mean the most. When we first moved to Los Angeles, just over two years ago, we hardly had any material possessions. We packed our Jeep and drove from Minneapolis to LA, and I was not quite 14 weeks pregnant with Maxwell. We brought with us an… [Read More]

35 weeks baby bump.

September 26, 2014 · 16 Comments
Filed Under: baby #2, what I wore

We’re in the home stretch! Only five weeks to go (hopefully I won’t deliver 10 days overdue like with Maxwell, but we shall see…) and I’m definitely counting down. Like, for real counting down. I’m sure it’s mostly because I have a 34″ sidekick with me during the day, but I’m so so tired this… [Read More]

Preparing for a new chapter of mamahood…

September 23, 2014 · 10 Comments
Filed Under: family, mamahood, Maxwell

The days where it’s just Max and I at home are dwindling fast. We’re down to about 35 days; even typing that brings an overwhelming rush of emotions. I remember so so clearly the day we brought Maxwell home from the hospital, the day Zack went back to work, the day our families went back… [Read More]

Friday inspiration…

Filed Under: inspiration

It’s been pretty quiet around here this week. Nothing super specific came to mind, so I let the quiet slip in. It feels good to have the confidence to do that :) This past week I stumbled on this quote while scrolling IG. It reminds me of my time at home with Maxwell — and… [Read More]

A sweet reminder of home…

September 12, 2014 · 7 Comments
Filed Under: for fun, seasons

One of the things I really miss about living in the Midwest is the change of seasons. ;) They’re just not the same out here in California (at least not in Los Angeles). Whenever we’re outside my eyes hunt for the burst of yellow and orange leaves, it’s a natural habit — one I don’t think… [Read More]

Appointment: booked!

Filed Under: for fun, hair + beauty

So, I did it — I booked a hair appointment for Friday morning. My goal is to become a lot less bleached and a lot more caramelized and I’m inspired by this look. I hope I love the results, because one thing’s for sure: I’m not loving how often (and costly) I need to be… [Read More]
