Spring has officially sprung in the Bay Area (and so has the bump!). Flowers are blooming, the sun is shining, and the weather couldn’t be more beautiful. It’s that time of year where we get to update our wardrobe with fresh white tees and Spring accents that will carry us into the warmer months of Summer. A few new trends I’m loving right now include the slide sandal and the wicker bag—both are great transitional pieces into Spring. Go ahead, kick off your booties and let’s slide into Spring.

Peplum Top
The peplum design is one of my favorite styles; but with the growing bump I need something with a bit more length. When I found this top at LOFT on the sale rack I was ecstatic! Not only is it peplum, but it’s long and drapey; and how cute is the plaid for spring and summer?! I went up a size to accommodate the belly so it will fit me throughout my pregnancy. If you hurry, you can also get this top at an additional 50% off!
We Are Pregnant!
We are so excited to share that we are expecting a wee little baby in July!! The last four months have flown by, and it’s crazy to think I’m nearly halfway through my pregnancy (I’m 19 weeks and counting). As new expecting parents there is still so much left to learn of what feels like a foreign ‘baby world.’ But now that I’m in my second trimester, I’m feeling much better with tremendous energy to read, absorb and learn all there is to know. (First trimester sickness is real, y’all! And a big reason why I was rather quiet on the blog for a few months). Between my sister who has three kiddos, and several mama friends, I know I’ll have lots of great resources for help.
Our road to pregnancy was long and windy, so we feel extra grateful and blessed to be with child—a strong reminder that dreams do come true in God’s perfect timing. For those of you who might be waiting on the dream of becoming a mama, know that you’re not alone. Just this week I read this encouraging blog post on the Proverbs 31 website, and I thought I’d share it here as well; hopefully you’ll find hope and encouragement knowing God has the power to work big miracles out of slim chances.
A Love Tee & Encouragement For The Waiting Heart
This Valentine’s day I’m opting for a more casual look. Truth be told, we have no plans for Tuesday. Our two-year wedding anniversary is on the 21st of February, so we’re planning to celebrate this coming weekend, which will likely include a nod to the holiday of Love–Valentine’s day. Life has been so hectic these days, we tend to prefer simple nights at home. This vintage tee is perfect for a more casual celebration, and isn’t limited to just the heart-filled holiday; it transcends the month of February. It also comes in a more subtle gray color, if you prefer. To spruce up the look, I layered on this Loft poncho last seen here.
What I’m Most Thankful For This Holiday Season
This time of year I love watching the trees transform, and the leaves change colors. There is something so symbolic about the fall season, which is why–I think–we all can’t get enough of this time of year. The cooler, slower months not only allow for hibernation but provide room for us to reflect and recharge our batteries as we prepare to enter into a new year. And with Thanksgiving on Thursday I wanted to share a few things I’m thankful for this year, including some of my favorite cozy knit sweaters to lounge around in this holiday season.
