We had a big weekend over here! My parents were in town, we celebrated Emerson’s birthday on Friday, and then Matt and I went on an overnight date in the city! We kicked off the long weekend with my mom and dad’s arrival on Thursday. Emerson hadn’t seen them in a few months and was so excited, but then was super shy when they got here. We headed straight for the Gap Outlet and my mom treated Emerson to some…
Is anyone else so happy shorts season is over? I’m not a fan and am so much more comfortable in jeans. I’m so excited – I ordered Green Piñata Toys (so cool) for Emerson’s birthday as well as a funfetti cake from Milk Bar!! I’ve had some dysplastic moles in the past, so I went for my 6 month check up today. Can I just say that having someone examine every inch of my body under a bright light is more uncomfortable…
Well that was the fastest beach trip I can ever remember. As much as I love going on vacation, I also love returning to my own home and routines. I got so much rest on our trip to Bald Head (slept 8-9 hours and only worked out twice), so I’m feeling restored and ready to mom full-time again. Emerson has also gifted me with long naps and sleeping in until almost 8 since we’ve been home! With the exception of…
I had to work on Thursday, but my mom was able to be at home to meet the carpet cleaners and mosquito guy so that my house was ready for the birthday party (and the market…). Work days always fly by, but I tried to stop and think about my labor and visited Emerson in the nursery 
Hi y’all, There’s not a whole lot going on over here – September has been kind of blah in general? After Emerson’s croup, she came down with her first double ear infection. So we spent our weekend inside with the exception of quickly grabbing margaritas and guacamole before getting takeout on Saturday night. I’m hoping to get out and about more this coming weekend! I’m happy to be resting on the couch after finishing another work week. It was a…
My parents came to visit from NC this past weekend, and we had a blast eating, shopping, and relaxing. We were so busy, that I didn’t snap a single picture outside of my shower on Sunday. I have a small group of friends here in Dallas who were sweet enough to host a celebration for Baby Allen. They went all out with lavender and aqua, and had beautiful jars of flowers for the guests to take home as favors. It…
Hello! It’s been a while since I’ve posted, as I’ve been out and about before I hunker down for these last few months. Matt and I traveled back to NC for a quick visit with my parents and a shower put on by the lovely ladies of the church I grew up attending. On Thursday, my parents took us out to the new Durham Hotel’s rooftop bar, and we met up with my good friend, Brooke and her husband! My,…
Thanks for your sweet comments you guys!! And now, a phone photo dump: chocolate cake as a mid-day snack packing on the lbs means new underwear cereal mixed with buttercream the famous discontinued nest cinnamon toast for nausea, just like my mom used to make first glimpse! I may have ordered and consumed this whole pizza when Matt was out of town 6 weeks 17 weeks when everyone else is day-drinking…
We’ve had a fun couple of weekends over here. First, we had a local wedding to attend, which is such a rare occasion. I loooove going to weddings in town because it makes the whole event much more relaxed when you don’t have to travel. Our friends Alex and Akshay got married right around the corner from our house at the beautiful Robert E. Lee park. Though it was a chilly day out, it was absolutely gorgeous! The ceremony was…
