Postpartum Must-Haves for New Moms

BABY
It’s been nearly two weeks and I am still in shock that I am a mother. I still feel like I’m taking care of this little baby, but he isn’t mine. Like this is a dream and I haven’t woken up. Owning my new role is still hard to grasp even though I’ve been preparing for it since the beginning of the year. I’ve never been so overwhelmed in my life yet so happy. Charlie has given me a...

A Letter to My Husband

PERSONAL
Dear Eric, Can you believe we are already celebrating 3 years of marriage? Where has the time gone?! It seems like yesterday we were strolling the streets of Chicago and living the twenty something city life. Now we have been in Austin for three years with two dogs, and just brought a little baby into the world. Time has slowed down for us but I wouldn’t trade it for the world. I remember vividly each moment of our wedding...

Leather & Stripes & All Things Nice

*
Good Morning Friends! How are you guys? I am back in action! Well, I mean sort of. If back in action means making myself a cup of coffee, brushing my teeth, and getting a blog post up, then YES. I am rockin’ and rollin’ here. I was spoiled last week with 5 nights with both of my parents in town and another 3 with my Mom. Today was the first day I made myself breakfast in ten days and...

Introducing Charlie

MILESTONES
Introducing our little miracle Charles Scott “Charlie”. We welcomed last week! Little did I know that while writing my previous post Waiting for Baby, I was already in labor… No wonder I was antsy! It’s been a whirlwind weekend of emotion as Eric and I have adjusted to this new chapter in life. It’s been exhausting and tough but the biggest blessing. Every day is different and we’re loving each new milestone Charlie hits. When he opens his little...

Waiting for Baby

BABY
I am an impatient person by nature but I don’t think there has ever been a time in my life where I’ve been more anxious or impatient for something to happen. Without going into too much detail, I thought for sure I would have delivered my baby yesterday. All these signs have been there and some noticeable changes with my body. So much for my instincts! I kept getting this feeling. It’s happening today. So I laid low, hung...

Cozy Autumn Outfit

MATERNITY
Good Morning Friends! I’m currently sipping a cup of Joe from my dining table right now, in the dark, enjoying my new fall centerpiece: a candle in a vase surrounded by pine cones. Eric and I had fun crafting some DIY fall decorations yesterday and I love sitting in my home, staring at them, and getting ready for my favorite season. It’s still kind of dark outside…. and I love it! Does anyone else like getting up before the...

A Few Things Making Me Happy Right Now

HAPPINESS SERIES
Good Morning and Happy First Day of Autumn! Can you believe it’s here? You might not with the hot temperatures across the country but just knowing that today marks the start of my favorite season is enough for me. Because I know what’s coming. And I can take pictures of pumpkins, drink pumpkin spiced lattes, light pumpkin spiced candles, bake pumpkin recipes, and not feel weird at all for having my house decked out in fall decor. Which it...

Babbleboxx Baby Essentials for Fall and Winter

BABY
With my due date looming around the corner and the arrival of baby D any day now, my nesting instinct has kicked in full force. Our house is clean. Our essentials are ready. And it’s a patient waiting game. Being a new mom can be overwhelming. And even with 9 months of preparation time, there still can be endless questions. What’s the right time to start this? What kind of product will I need for that? I’m so thankful for...

A Letter to My Baby

MATERNITY•Motherhood
Dear Baby Dunigan, These last few months have been kind of crazy for me and you, kiddo. They have been a blessing and a wonderful journey, but they’ve also been challenging and life changing. Right now you’re just about ready to come into this world and I’m eagerly waiting. I’m very large and uncomfortable these days but when I feel your little body rolling in my belly, I am overwhelmed with an emotion I can’t quite compare to anything...

Fall Favorites with Lili

*
Coffee. Girl Talk. Sister time. What could be better? I’m so happy to have my sister Lili on the blog today sharing some of her fall favorites. If am truly am an autumn girl, then Lili is absolutely a summer one. She was a beach baby from the get go and has always had a passion for water activities, sunshine, and warm weather. When it comes to summer fashion, she’s sophisticated and cool while I’m vibrant and bright. Though...
