Snapshots

Hello Monday. I'm at work on my lunch thinking, its been a while blog. So, I thought I'd share a few snapshots from the past few weeks.


Farmer's market buys.


Fall decor at Market Street.


Duo helping me with chores.


Funny things I find on Pinterest to tease my husband with.


A super secret project that I'm working on.

Yesterday I spent the day knitting and watching Once Upon a Time on Netflix. My husband is sad I started watching it without him, who would've thought lol.

Dressing My Baby Bump

Me and Amelia have been rocking some preggo style this week. She seems to get bigger each day, and dressing her is a challenge. Warning: iphone pics ahead, someday I'll get a real camera.

Leggings: Preggers, Sweater: Roxy, Scarf: gift, Socks: Pink VS, Boots: Target
Belly Couture is my BFF, I find the cutest and most affordable things there. This tunic is one of them (so I bought it in 2 colors). I also think I can continue wearing it after Amelia arrives.

Scarf: Hot Topic, Cardigan: thrifted, Dress: Culture Clothing, Tights: DKNY,  Flats: Lucky
If I could, I'd probably wear this dress everyday. This was my 'game day' outfit for work.

Hat: Vans, Blazer: thrifted, Baseball Tee: Pacsun, Maternity Jeans: Belly Couture, Boots: Docs thrifted
It was definitely a hat day, and it was nice to dress more laid back than usual for work. 
PS maternity jeans are super comfty, so don't lie to yourself when its time. 

Denim shirt: Pacsun, Tunic: Belly Couture, Leggings: StyleMint, Flats: Pacsun
These StyleMint leggings are super comfy and very fun!

Dress: Belly Couture (from my MIL)


This is my fancy, comfy preggo dress. We were leaving the grocery store last night and I made Clint take my picture with the pumpkins haha. I love pumpkins! He said it looked like I was trying to steal one!

Cribs: Amelia's Nursery (so far)

 My husband has been hard at work on Amelia's nursery. I just feel like the design consultant. 
(bedding from Zutano, purchased at Cup of Tea Baby)

 My poor husband went and picked up the heavy wooden crib his mom and I picked out, which he then dropped on his foot, ripped his TOMS, and broke a toe. But the crib was fine....
(The crib is Young America.)

 My friend T and my MIL helped pick out some fabric, and my MIL made these amazing curtains. The picture doesn't do them justice, they are super cute!

 Even though making the wall art for the nursery is on my to do list, I couldn't pass up this cute canvas that was half off at Hobby Lobby. It matches perfectly!

 Duo loves Amelia's room, I am sure he will spend lots of time with her playing and playing. While Loki hides...

I finally got around to framing the sonogram pictures. We haven't put shelves up yet, so they're just hanging out in her crib.

I'll share more as the work progresses!

Hatch



I saw this cute maternity line from Hatch on A Cup of Joe. I wish I could afford even one item, because they look like the comfiest clothes ever! If someone came up with a line that was affordable, I'd be all over it! But their site is great for some baby bump coverage inspiration :)

What's The What Wednesday

Today I've been super lazy with a side of cleaning and research. I have a list of things to work on, but perhaps not getting out of my pj's has left me unmotivated. I started the day out thinking I would take snap shots through out the day, this is as far as I got:

Pumpkin spice coffee with lots of milk and catching up on my blog reader.

My hoodie barely zipped up today. I am also wearing Clint's Harry Potter pj's because most of my pj's don't fit right. I had to bend over a bit to get my pika-shoes in the picture. Baby bump is getting so big I can't see my feet. :)

I little bit of rain on the deck....

Loki looking outside, and being cute.

A few things I've been reading in bed and my list making book.

Duo had a rough morning of chasing squirrels, so he was all tuckered out. 

Today I've been researching soap making. I recently bought some handmade soap, and I love the smell and texture. I thought it was going to give me rash, because everything has been lately, but it didn't.  I've also been wanting to make soap for the past few years, I even found a tutorial I had saved on my computer to make cupcake shaped soap. I'll keep you updated on how the progress goes...

Any new hobbies you're thinking of picking up?

Not 16 and Pregnant Adventures

Today I have been super motivated. I would even go so far as to say for the past 3 days I've been super motivated. I blame being pregnant, you know nesting and all that. Finally, after dinner tonight I'm on an epic mission to purge my closet. Not just get rid of a few things, PURGE. I have 3 piles planned out, and a mission on what I'm keeping. 

I'm in the process of revamping my style. I'm hoping to come through all this looking just as cool and hip as Katie Holmes or Michelle Williams. You know where I look like a hip young mom, and not 16 and pregnant. 

The other day, I had this theory that if I put on lipstick and eye make-up (that's more than just mascara for me), that I would look older and get less nasty looks (for looking 16 and pregnant). I came to realize, yeah that guy opened the door for me and there were less weird looks, but I felt uncomfortable and mostly just smeared eyeliner all over my face because I'm not used to wearing so much make up haha. Lesson learned. But lipstick, yay!

That's What She Said Sunday



My bedroom looks like it could qualify for an episode of hoarders. At least it's clean laundry. I told my husband it was his fault for not helping me clean out my 'stuff' haha. The clock is ticking and I have lots of nesting and cleaning to do. 

Today is for working on bachelorette party invites, paintings, and maybe some other arty stuff...plus staying in my pj's. My only wish, is that Starbuck's delivered so I could have a pumpkin spice latte to motivate me!

What is your Sunday for?

PS I also wish Hobby Lobby was open today....I always want to go on Sunday's!
