Her Name Is….

IMG_3501

Kevin and I didn’t really talk seriously about baby names until we found out the gender of our little one. In the past, we had thrown names out there just messing around, and then when I got pregnant, we joked about various names, but the “serious” convo didn’t happen until the night of our gender reveal. Then from there, her first name was pretty easy.

I have always loved the name Brooke, and I mentioned it before when Kevin and I were talking. Basically, we decided on “Brooke” in less than a minute. Her middle name however, is what has been taking us so long to announce her name. We have gone back and forth about her middle name for the past two months. We thought of two that we really liked, but really didn’t like one more than the other. Finally, last week, we decided on:

 

Brooke Nicole Clarke

IMG_3503I couldn’t be more excited to finally have her name in place! I love calling her by her name and I can’t wait to have a lot of her stuff monogramed. Speaking of monograms – You may have noticed this gorgeous organic blanket with her name on it from Atkinson Drive. It matches Brooke’s room so perfectly and I can’t wait to swaddle her in it!! It is super soft and comfy. I am planning on using it some of her newborn pictures as well.

 

Atkinson Drive also makes adorable personalized leggings, headbands, and bibs. Did I mention she is a fellow blogger as well at AtkinsonDrive.com? I have loved following along her blog and social media, especially her Instagram. Make sure to check her out and enter to win a small personalized swaddling blanket of your own below!

    Middle names are always so difficult for some reason. Love the name it flows very nice!

    We named our baby Nicole, but Brooke was totally one of our backups! They’re both good names, clearly 🙂

    I love the name Brooke! And funny thing — when you started referring to her as little B Clarke, I immediately thought you had picked the name Brooklyn, so I was close 🙂

  • If you’ve never had mochi like this, you’re doing it wrong. 🍓✨#ad 

Bubbies Mochi is the perfect little sweet treat when you want something indulgent without overdoing it. I’m obsessed with the Red, Ripe Strawberry Mochi and the Churro Mochi. One is sweet and creamy with real strawberry flavor, and the other has creamy cinnamon-spiced ice cream wrapped in soft mochi and covered in cinnamon sugar. 🤎

And here’s the trick: let your Bubbies soften for 2–3 minutes before taking a bite. That’s when you get that soft, pillowy mochi texture with the creamy ice cream center. Trust me, it makes all the difference!

Find Bubbies at H-E-B and other retailers near you. 🍨

  • Target did NOT disappoint with the fall finds 🍂👀

The burnt orange tee is giving fall, those viral mules are SO good (I really don’t think they’ll stay in stock long), and those little terracotta pumpkins for $3?! 😍

  • I went into Aerie to “just look”… and somehow ended up trying on all of THIS. 😂

Comment “SHOP” for the links.

These were the first 5 looks that caught my eye, and honestly… Aerie understood the assignment (part 2 coming soon!). 

From everyday basics to pieces that instantly make you feel a little more put together, there were way too many good finds.

Which look would you actually wear? 👀

I’m wearing XS.

  • Grimaldi’s has been a part of our family memories for years, so getting to experience their Kids Pizza Academy together made this visit extra special. 🍕 

From stretching the dough to choosing our toppings 🧀 and making our own pizzas, it was such a fun way to add another memory to the list.

There’s just something special about the places that become part of your family’s story and @grimaldispizzeria is definitely one of those for us. ❤️

  • #ad If your afternoons feel like a sprint, save this easy snack idea! ✨🙌🏻

Before school pickup, I pack quick snack boxes with pretzels, fruit, cheese, and the NEW @QuakerChewy Protein Granola Bars, so everything is ready when it’s time to head to activities. 

They have the same delicious chewy taste and texture we already love, and each bar has 5g of protein and 10g of whole grains, making them an easy addition to our snack boxes. They come in Caramel Chocolate Chip and Maple & Brown Sugar flavors - both are equally amazing!

What’s one snack that’s always in your after-school rotation?
