Do you have trips planned for next year already?

Do you have trips planned for next year already?

The travel bug has hit me hard this week and I’ve been sketching out plans into 2023 😂

I’d love to hear where you’re going or what’s on your list, either for couples or as a family with young kids!

Here’s a peek at what I’m planning (haven’t shared this with Canan yet so this will be news to him too if he looks at social media 😂)
-Family trip: Starting 2022 in 30A
-somewhere Caribbean in Jan/Feb
-Family trip: summer in Banff (rebooking from 2020!)
-Couples trip: fall trip to CA wine country for my birthday

What should we add? I’m always up for daydreaming!

That 1/2 summer 1/2 fall vibe 🌸🍁🤷🏼‍♀️

Hard to believe baby will be here in 10 weeks & harder to believe I haven’t snuck a peek of the gender! That being said, I’m still struggling with BOY names, so if you’ve got any cute suggestions, I’d really love to hear them!!

A little before & after transformation of the bath

A little before & after transformation of the bathroom off our bedroom. (Swipe ➡️ to see when we bought it!) We finally replaced all the carpet in the house which gave us the opportunity to redo the floor in front of the massive vanity and add in some gold/leather pulls.

Now I’m on the hunt for two bathroom rugs for in front of the sinks. Any favorite brands or stores I should check out?

We had an epic weekend filled with all the boys’ favorites for the last weekend of summer (and last summer with just Leo & Warren):
Sand and swimming at the beach, scooters and slides at the park, picnic at the airport viewing area, cinnamon roll pancakes for breakfast, and all the snacks and shows.

The days are rarely easy at these fearless, curious, messy, and hungry ages, but I sure am thankful for these loves. (And am very much looking forward to being able to parent with a glass of wine again soon 😉)

What is your favorite appetizer to make or eat for football games?

Today I’m making a spicy sausage dip and turkey & Swiss sliders for the 〽️ichigan game.

We may not be tailgating or in the big house this season but we’re loving that college football is back! #goblue

(Swipe ➡️ to see how we feel about Harbaugh calling another conservative run play though 😂)

3rd T R I M E S T E R 🎉 🤰🤍✨ The combina

3rd T R I M E S T E R 🎉 🤰🤍✨
The combination of it being September and the start of the last trimester feels like a really big milestone this time around.

This pregnancy has been physically tough: months of IV fluids several times a week, throwing up 6-10 times a day for the first 4 months so violently that I popped blood vessels, the second trimester including an infection, bleeding scares, baby measuring weeks behind, and sciatica so bad I’ve have the heated seats on during 95 degree temps to try to help.

It’s also been mentally tough: interviewing and starting two different jobs during this pregnancy, trying to get up to speed in my career and prove myself while also not feeling like myself, the guilt of feeling like I’m not showing up for my boys or my marriage like I want to, and the ever present anxiety and worry of getting sick. Society tells women this should be such a magical, beautiful time, and while I’m SO grateful to be able to get pregnant and carry my babies, there’s been a disconnect between what society tells you and how I actually feel.

I’m incredibly grateful for this 3rd trimester milestone and am looking forward to ALL things fall 🍁and enjoying all that I can with my little family before baby 3 comes around Thanksgiving. 🤍🦃

September 1: *immediately grabs a chunky oversize

September 1:
*immediately grabs a chunky oversized sweater* 😂 (loving this one from @marahoffman I found in the @tjmaxx runway fall designer event.)

Welcome to the -BER months, my friends.
The best of the best. 🙌🏼

A few reasons F A L L is my favorite:
🍁the leaves! Have you ever been on a fall color tour? We’re blessed in Michigan with some of the best and most vibrant trees showing off before winter comes.
🏈 college football is back! Admittedly, Michigan was a little more fun to watch when we were actually in college and they won 😂, but since we’re also Lions fans, we’ve mastered the art of unfounded hope
🍲 Soups on! I love a heart chili, creamy sausage & kale, or spicy buffalo chicken soup in the fall & how it makes the whole house smell all day long.
🧥sweater weather, chunky knits, fall booties, and lots of layers....I love fall fashion.

What are some of the things you love about the fall season? I’d love to hear!

What time do you get up in the morning? As much

What time do you get up in the morning?

As much as I try to be an early riser, it’s been difficult lately with both boys up in the middle of the night sneaking in our bed (and then taking over allllllllll the space.) Today was a little rushed to get out the door, to say the least!

This @veronicabeard dress was also an awesome recent @tjmaxx runway find! After putting it on again this morning and seeing the seams begging for room, I think it’s better off in my closet until after baby 🤰For now, I’ll stick to my Veronica Beard blazers for work (one of my favorite brands for workwear!)
