There are SO many choices we make as parents to do

There are SO many choices we make as parents to do the best we can to provide and protect our kids: from what to feed them, where to send them to school, & even whether or not to vaccinate them!

We trust our pediatrician, scientists, and search out reputable sources in order to make an informed decision. Today on the blog I’m sharing the Top 5 Reasons Our Family Vaccinates!

Our community is in this together, and it’s together through community that we’ll get out of it too!

I saw @Loverlygrey wearing this $20 black and white stripe midi dress from Target while shopping the #nsale and knew I had to have it too! I usually find Target dresses to run a little big and boxy, so I went with my smaller size knowing it would stretch for the 5.5mo bump. I’ve been struggling to find comfortable clothes that also work for my day job, and this one was great for casual Friday! #stripedress #maternitystyle #targetstyle #ltkunder25

We had such a fun time in the Great Smoky Mountain

We had such a fun time in the Great Smoky Mountains!

Hiking with a 4.5 and 2yo while 5 months pregnant may have been a little ambitious 😅 but everybody did so great! Canan had zero problem getting back to his TN roots, the boys (all of them) were obsessed with seeing bears 🐻 on our hikes and the side of the road (which I was so surprised how easily and frequently we did!), and we even conquered Dollywood and Ober Gatlinburg for some mountain coasters and amusement park rides.

My takeaway: Gatlinburg is an excellent family vacation spot, with the sweet spot being for ages 6-12. It’d also be an awesome and easy spot to come with multiple families! We wouldn’t make it an annual trip like we do to 30A but can see ourselves coming back here in a few years with friends!

I did a lot of research on good hikes for young kids, and these were the ones we did and loved. Hit SAVE to reference later!
1. Laurel Falls (most popular hike in entire park. Get there early for parking. Saw bears here!)
2. Grotto Falls (my personal favorite. Can even walk behind the waterfall! Great hike before taking the Roaring Fork Motor Way scenic drive.)
3. Cades Cove loop. This is actually closed to cars on wednesdays, making it a perfect day to bike the 11mile loop instead!
Happy to answer any questions about where to stay, what to do, and where to eat, especially for families! Or, let me know if you’d like it all wrapped up into a post on the blog!

On the hunt for maternity jeans and pants to get me through the next few months. You’d think I’d have this down by baby no.3, but the fact that I’ve bought & returned over 1k of pants 👖 in the last few weeks more accurately depicts what we’re dealing with here...any favorite brands, send them my way!

My perfect summer weekend bucket list: ✅ Fulton

My perfect summer weekend bucket list:
✅ Fulton Street Farmer’s Market
✅ Brunch with Girlfriends
✅Cute Outfits from @maurices

Farmer’s Market Tips:
-Go Early, bring cash, shop seasonally, & don’t forget to walk up a block to Van’s Pastry shop! They have not only some of the best donuts around, but their english muffin toast is life changing!

Grand Rapids has such great brunch options.
Here’s my TOP 5:
-Real Food Cafe. You have not lived until you’ve had the corned beef hash! 😋
-SanChez. Mimosas, spicy bloody Mary’s, and the best chorizo empanadas 🥟
-Terra. No matter what time I come here, I alwaysssss order the Kale Caesar Salad 🥗
-Tupelo Honey. Mimosa flights, chicken & waffles 🧇
-Brown Butter Creperie. The cutest location with awesome sweet or savory crepes 🙌🏼

🚨 New B L O G Post 🚨
I’m sharing 54 of my favorite fashion finds for women that are currently available, all from favorite brands like @tuckernuck @revolve @tjmaxx @bananarepublic @abercrombie

Most of these items have wound up in my cart 🛒 and I’ll share more on fit details soon. Many are summer ready to wear, but some are great buys for fall and popular enough that sizes will run out before the temperatures drop.

Happy Father’s Day to our favorite guy!

Now if only we could agree on a baby name for No. 3! (We’ve had our girl name set for 6 years, so naturally, this babe will likely be a boy. I also made the mistake of telling C he could name this baby, not knowing he was looking at a state map and not a baby name book 🤪😂) I’d love your boy name suggestions-what you love, what you didn’t use, etc for inspiration!
