Friday Favorites
Well, as of now it looks like Friday Favorites is the only post we can manage to get up every week but at least it’s a good one. I’ve officially started prepping and buying for baby and postpartum. Here is what I’m buying (other than disposable undies and nipple cream – happy Friday to me): Glamorous Gold Birkenstocks Super pumped I found these. I have the “real” ones in gold, along with both black and white pairs (love this blue pair too) of the the rubber Arizona Eva Birkenstock sandals like these, and while I love the real ones, the fun metallic versions scuff up so easily and there is…

Friday Favorites
I swear we are going to start posting more regularly again soon, but until then, thanks for hanging out. But more importantly, helloooo Spring. Baby comes in May and I can’t wait to be not pregnant, although as my mother likes to remind me, it’s a whole lot easier when they are in than when they are out. Absolutely true but this pregnancy has been hard on my bod and I can’t wait to be done. Anyways, here our favorites from the week; so looking forward to the sunshine and spending more time outside! Spring Shoes I’m really not buying any clothing, or trying not to even though I want…

Friday Favorites
After a long blogging hiatus, we are trying to get back into the swing of things and have a new plan for Friday blog posts. One of our favorite influencers, Liz Adams of Hello Adams Family, does a “Friday Five” post on Fridays and I always love seeing the fun things she finds sooo we are going to do something similar. On Fridays, come here to find all the fun things we see through out the week – from recipes to dresses to something fun the kids have been loving. Happy Friday, friends!

Pregnancy Must-Haves
This third pregnancy is giving me a run for my money. I was sicker longer, larger faster, more uncomfortable, more pain and VEINS – you name it. I don’t know if it’s because I’m older or because it’s my third pregnancy or a combination of both, but yikes. May can’t come soon enough. Here are the things that are helping to keep me sane and a little more comfortable while we wait for baby boy to arrive. Calm Gummies – Natural Vitality Calm Magnesium Supplement, Anti-Stress Gummies. As I get larger and more uncomfortable, I start to get more anxious and these seem to really help! I also like the…

What I’m Packing for Hawaii: Mumus & More
Chris told me the other day the only things I look at these days are mumus and nursery furniture – and he’s not wrong. We are heading to Hawaii next week and I’ve never been when I’m so pregnant… and large and swollen and uncomfortable. Hence, the mumus. The goal is to be as comfortable as possible while covering as much of my body as possible – haha sad but true. Anyways, in case you are also heading somewhere warm in the near future, I’m sharing my packing list below. Sandals – everyone needs a neutral pair of sandals that go with everything that you can wear to the pool…

Happy Valentines Day!
We hope this post finds you well! It’s been so long since our last post I’ve forgotten how to do this! Life has been crazy but we are hoping to get back into the swing of things with the blog again. Especially with Valentines day just a few days away – we felt like we had to share all the fun festive things we are doing. So, here are our valentines plans – what we are making, gifting and eating! Valentines Day Eats If you remember, Megan and Ryan’s anniversary is on Valentine’s day and each year they take turns cooking for each other rather than going out and battling…

Hot Chocolate Bar
I love the concept of a hot chocolate bar as soon as December hits. A hot chocolate bar at a brunch, kid-friendly but also with options to spike it of course. PLUS the idea of gifting all the goods to someone else’s household for a fun hot chocolate bar. I am buying all the sweets and treats for a hot chocolate bar when I host a gingerbread house brunch for my girlfriends and kids the first weekend of December. So, I unfortunately don’t have all the cute pictures to show you yet. Which means I’m clearly not a real blogger because if I was I would have set this all…

Two New Fall Salads
I suggest everyone tries these delicious salads this month! Both are fancy enough for Thanksgiving and easy enough for a weeknight dinner. The Fall Chop I LOVE chop salads. This chop has bacon, apple, cranberries, feta, and pumpkin seeds and is tossed in a simple honey apple cider dressing – so perfect for this time of year and the perfect combination of crunchy, salty, sweet and delicious. INGREDIENTS Salad 8 cups chopped romaine lettuce 4–5 strips cooked bacon 1 Honeycrisp apple, cored and chopped 1/3 cup dried cranberries 1/4 cup finely diced red onion 1/2 cup crumbled feta 1 package Cranberries & Glazed Walnuts Salad Topping or a few handfuls pumpkin seeds Dressing 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil…

Girlfriend/Stocking Stuffer Gift Guide
I love gifting my girlfriends my favorite little things from throughout the years – and they also work really well as stocking stuffers for yourself, sister mom etc! Most of these items are things I have received as gifts and then turn around and give to other friends year after year. I personally have, love and use all of these things on a regular basis! Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask – I love the Vanilla but how fun is the peppermint for the holidays? Truly the best lip balm, and I don’t just wear it at night… Lulu Lemon Everywhere Belt Bag – my favorite fanny pack for every day running…

Joe’s 5th Tailgate Party
We threw a tailgate birthday party for our football-loving 5 year old. Given it’s football season, we are sharing the details so you can pick up some inspiration for your next tailgate! Food & Drink We kept it very simple by having Dick’s Cheeseburgers delivered and all the snacks, chips and treats. My mom made her “crack mix” which is always a hit along with cheddar and caramel popcorn that we packaged in my favorite party Covid-friendly snack containers. Because who wants to stick their hand in a giant bowl of popcorn these days? No one. I found this fun inflatable football field cooler for the kids drinks (purple gatorade,…
