I did a separate post on the baby gear worth checking out at the Nordstrom Anniversary sale and to be honest the last few years has been kind of lackluster to me but if you’re shopping for things that have been on your list or things that you repurchase, some things may be worth checking […]

If you have a baby or are expecting, the Nordstrom Anniversary sale has some pretty good baby gear on sale! I did a lot of research while I was pregnant last year and for some big items, like strollers or car seats, the Anniversary sale had the biggest savings. Plus, you get bonus savings if […]
As soon as I found out I was pregnant last May, I started doing all the research on baby items. I felt like it was so hard to choose which items to add to my registry because every baby is so different and what works great for one baby may not work at all for […]
We took maternity photos when I was around 30 weeks pregnant back in October in Hawai’i with Bev from Isabella Lori Photography. She took our wedding photos the year before so I knew I was going to love the maternity photos and they did not disappoint! The photo below was one of the last pictures […]
I gave birth 4 weeks ago and I can’t believe it’s been that long since baby girl made her entrance in the world! Adjusting from pregnancy to motherhood has definitely been a challenge but it’s 100% true that you really don’t fully understand until you’ve gone through it. It’s so hard to believe that I […]
During our 1 day stay at InterContinental Tahiti, we took a shuttle from the hotel to Pape’ete.

I enjoyed our stay here and wouldn’t have minded staying longer but it’s a great pit stop before heading out to Bora Bora, Mo’orea, or another island. Read more
The annual Sephora sale is back again and I love seeing what other people got/recommend so I thought I’d share my favorite things and what I got to try out! The discount you get is based on your Sephora Insider level and I only qualify as a basic Insider so I only got 10% off. […]
I’ve been doing a liver cleanse diet for the month of January, relaxed the diet a little in February but still kept drinking the liver detox drink and eating clean during the week and so far I’ve lost 2.5 inches off my waistline! But get this – I’ve only lost 5 lbs! At the end […]
After 11 long months, we finally got the keys to Da Baum Shelter on May 10, 2021! I meant to post this with the move, but we are still unpacking and getting settled! We officially signed last Summer in June and expected to close in March, but with all the craziness with COVID, we got […]
