The ICEing on 2020

Everyone’s experience in 2020 has been radically different. Between October 2019 and January 2020 I traveled about once every three weeks for personal or business reasons. I dined in unique restaurants, saw friends who live all over the country, and was planning Mark’s birthday trip to Yellowstone. I was settled in my first home andContinue reading “The ICEing on 2020”

The Fast Paced Story of my Second Trimester

My second trimester is coming to an end! I can’t believe that I am that much closer to having an actual miniature human in my arms every day, or how much has happened in the past thirteen weeks. The second trimester is from Week 13-26. Traditionally, this is when a first time mom’s baby bumpContinue reading “The Fast Paced Story of my Second Trimester”

Our First Christmas Tradition

For me and Mark, this is our third holiday season together. We started dating in October, so our first season together sprung right on us. In fact, the first time we met each other’s families was on Thanksgiving! His mom hosts a Thanksgiving brunch rather than dinner, and I couldn’t stand the thought of himContinue reading “Our First Christmas Tradition”

Gifting for a New Mom Part One

My growing baby is the first grandchild on my side of the family, and it is unbelievable to think that next year the crowded living room of adults and pets on Christmas Day will also have a baby sitting in the middle of it. By then, he or she will be 9 months old andContinue reading “Gifting for a New Mom Part One”

Thanksgiving Outfit Inspo

Thanksgiving is officially three weeks away! It’s about time for 2020 to bring us something to be cheerful about, like the holidays. I don’t think I’ve wrapped my mind around the fact that this is our last holiday season just as me and Mark, your average young couple. Next year we’ll have an 8 monthContinue reading “Thanksgiving Outfit Inspo”

First Trimester Survival Kit

The first thirteen weeks of pregnancy have come and, more importantly, they have gone. These days, it is common to find out you are pregnant even before a missed period. Not me! I didn’t find out I was pregnant until the 6 week mark. I had a hunch that grew stronger by the day, butContinue reading “First Trimester Survival Kit”

Life is Changing

It’s been a while since I’ve written a blog post – and it isn’t due to lack of content ideas. I read an awesome book about the fashion industry I wanted to review for you, I’ve re-vamped by work-from-home wardrobe, and I’ve cooked so many recipes using fresh vegetables from my garden! So why didn’tContinue reading “Life is Changing”

A Week in Cape Cod

Mark and I just got back from what we agreed upon was our best vacation yet. He and I have gone on many trips, the most exciting include Nashville, Puerto Rico, Florida and Acadia National Park, but this local trip to Cape Cod took the top spot. So what was so special about a localContinue reading “A Week in Cape Cod”
