Baby Shower #2 Photos

IMG_6263IMG_6267IMG_6270IMG_6272IMG_6291IMG_6297IMG_6349IMG_6416IMG_6418IMG_6422IMG_6428IMG_6426Shower #2 is in the books! Kevin and I felt so incredibly blessed by all of our San Antonio friends/family this past weekend. This shower had a monogram theme that was precious and I loved getting to celebrate our little girls arrival. It keeps blowing my mind how close it is now to finally meeting her. In some aspects, it feel like forever ago that we found out we were pregnant, but in some ways, it has flown by! The anticipation just keeps building as we get closer.

 

Also, our parents helped us put some finishing touches on Brooke’s Nursery! And by finishing touches, I mean they really helped us hang almost everything, organize gifts, etc. It was amazing and we are so very thankful for all of their help. Really, we just have two things left to put together and I’m waiting on an order to come in the mail and it will be pretty much done! Having her room complete is such a surreal feeling. It makes me so excited to go in there and just sit on the floor. I can’t wait for her to be here already.

    You look so beautiful! I’ve enjoyed following your pregnancy, I’m only 13 weeks along and feeling the same sort of “it’s been forever!” “omg where has time gone!” By the way, where is your shower dress from? So cute!

      Aww thank you! Congrats on yours!!! The dress is actually pretty old, I found it in my closet and it still fit 🙂 It was originally from Loft though.

  • #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?

  • #HelperPartner School nights can get really busy, and I need a dinner on the table fast that everyone will love! Helper helps with that! 🍔

I turned @helper Cheeseburger Macaroni, a pound of ground beef and simple toppings into a Loaded Cheeseburger Bar with fresh shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and onions.

Helper helps you feed your family for less while making it easy to create a delicious, comforting dinner in under 20 minutes. I love that everyone can make it their way and build their own bowl!

  • No gatekeeping here… this is my #1 planner tip for middle school. ✏️📓

I’m teaching my daughter how to actually use a planner this year, and @pilotpenusa FriXion Vibe Erasable Pens are the MUST HAVE. Because assignments, tests, activities and plans are going to change and I don’t want her planner covered in confusing, crossed-out dates. 😂

I also love that she can choose her colors based on her vibe. We’re using ZenFocus for schoolwork and assignments and DreamGlow for goals, creative ideas and the things she’s excited about this year. 💚💙💗💜

Middle school is a big enough adjustment. If I can help her feel a little more organized and prepared going into it, I’m calling that a win.

  • Save this for your next couples getaway near Houston 🤍✨

If you’re looking for a relaxing Galveston, Texas resort with a little luxury, put The San Luis Resort on your list. 

From the gorgeous Texas coast views and poolside cabana (the fruit + champagne were such a nice touch 🥂) to an amazing poolside lunch, it was the perfect way to slow down and enjoy some time together.

We spent the evening at Grotto + grabbed gelato, started the next morning with an incredible breakfast buffet at Blake’s Bistro, and finished our getaway with a couples massage at the spa. 🧖‍♀️✨

A beautiful resort, good food, time to unwind, and quality time together… honestly, what more could you ask for? ❤️

📍 The San Luis Resort | Galveston, TX

Save this for your next couples trip from Houston!

  • If you’re heading to @homedepot anytime soon… SAVE THIS! 👀🧡 I found SO many good home finds on my trip to Atlanta for Home Depot Unmatched, and these made the list!

✨ My favorite: this fan! Our old one was putting out basically ZERO air, and this one has completely changed the game. It’s functional AND so chic… now I want to replace every bedroom fan in our house 😂

🔥 Kevin’s favorite: the grill — and yes, it has a SEAR ZONE!

The RYOBI detail scrubber kit is another must-have (seriously, cleaning just got a whole lot easier), plus the clamp fan kit and so many other smart home finds you’ll want to see.

🧡 Comment SHOP and I’ll send you the links!
