I have to tell myself “it’s the home stretch. You’re almost there” every morning when I get out of bed. I knew these next few weeks would be the hardest of the pregnancy, and sure enough, they are. I’ve sworn off any more summer pregnancies (ha! let’s see how that goes…) because this Texas heat […]

If you know me, you know I love peaches. They are my favorite fruit, hands down, and I look forward to stuffing my face with their juicy sweetness every summer. So when I saw that The Peach Truck was coming to the DFW area, I was thrilled. Fresh Georgia peaches for less per pound than […]

Wowee… what a month (plus a week) it’s been! In the past five weeks since my last bumpdate I feel like so much has changed. Not only has June been growing, moving and kicking like crazy, but the world around us feels like it’s in utter chaos. My heart has felt so heavy the past […]

I feel like my baby boy is officially a big kid because he’s playing with playdough. I decided to wait until he was out of the phase of “put everything in my mouth”, and with how much we’ve been at home lately, I deemed it the perfect time to introduce it to him. While James […]

Helloooo third trimester!!  Holy moly how does time work? At one moment it feels like the days are flying  by and then at other times minutes feel like hours. Regardless, I’m in shock that we’re already at the third trimester. Lately our days have been filled with hanging out in the backyard, going on walks […]

What a weird past four weeks it’s been. I know everyone else agrees,  and I’m curious to see how the next few months will unfold. Thankfully the past week I’ve felt more at peace and okay with our circumstances, but it’s still hard sometimes. Especially when my calendar empties up as events, photoshoots and so […]

I am SO excited about this chilean recipe series that is kicking off today! Many of you may not know this, but I grew up in South America. My parents were missionaries for the IMB and we spent 2 years in Ecuador and 6 years in Chile. We moved back to the States when I […]

If you follow me on Instagram, you’ve probably seen the Instant Pot egg bites I’ve been loving lately. They’re a hit in this house not only because they are absolutely delicious, but also super versatile! Depending on what veggies and cheeses I have in the house, the flavors and variety  of the egg bites are […]

Y’all. We’re halfway there! *cue the confetti* I can’t believe I’m already at 20 weeks. It has seriously flown by and I keep praying the second half of the pregnancy goes by just as quickly as the first! It’s weird though… At some moments I feel like I’ve been pregnant for ages, and at others […]
