a lifestyle, family and travel blog
We are back from what we hope will become an annual family trip to Harbour Island in the Bahamas! This is our second trip to Harbour Island - we were last there in 2019 for our baby moon when I was pregnant with Palmer - and while I'm typically all in favor of exploring new destinations, we purposely chose to go back knowing we were traveling with the girls.
Sharing some Easter basket inspo since I finished Palmer and Isla's early! Check it out below!
I knew immediately I wanted to try the Elvie Pump as soon as I found out I was pregnant with baby number two. I'd heard mixed reviews - not to mention the steep price tag - but wearable breast pumps sounded like a convenience too good to pass up, especially knowing I'd be working full time and running after a toddler this go around.
eels weird to already be moving on so quickly from the holidays but here we are. Last year, I did a blog post about Non-Material Valentine's Day Activities & Gifts but this year I'm excited to share some Valentine's Day ideas for the kids and babies in your life!
sit down and write Islas's birth story because it was a wild, incredible experience like none I've ever had! In my last Pregnancy Update + Q & A I said I didn't have a birth plan but "in a perfect world, I will have a quick, unmedicated, vaginal birth but we all know reality isn't perfect..." Turns out, that's pretty much how the story goes - haha. Continue reading for more details on how little miss Isla Fe entered this world and changed our lives forever!
Totally meant to get this post live before we went to the hospital but at least now I can report back on what we actually used while we were there. If anything we overpacked - a common problem I have in general - but the good news is, we also didn't need anything extra.
As I sit down to write this I am 38 weeks and 3 days pregnant which I can hardly believe myself! This pregnancy has flown by but I'm also so ready for a glass of rose and deli sandwich. Click here to continue reading my third trimester pregnancy Q&A.
We finally pulled the trigger on maternity pictures and I just LOVE how they turned out. We didn't do them when I was pregnant with Palmer and I slightly regret it because I think it's such a special stage in life, one that I know I'll look back on fondly so I knew I wanted to do them eventually but, if I'm being honest, I had so much on my plate I thought, I'll just do them next time. Then I realized, I don't know what the future holds. We may decide we're done after two, we may not be able to conceive again, the list goes on and so I made it a priority.

When it comes to baby books, there is no shortage of options. In fact, it can be downright intimidating selecting a book that's cute, educational, inclusive, diverse, unique, entertaining, etc.
Easter is right around the corner so it's time to start thinking about Easter Baskets! I'm in the process of ordering a few items for Palmer so I figured I'd share some of the items I'm currently eyeing.
