Finally reached 39 weeks today and I cannot tell you how excited I am about meeting my baby boy. The past two weeks have been full of nesting and finishing up a few last-minute things before his arrival. I figured it would be fun to share what I’ve been wearing lately. Not a single item in any of these posts is maternity wear. All of them are regular women’s clothing that I’ve sized up to allow room for the bump. I found that it was more practical for me to stick to a lot of my traditional silhouettes that flatter my body type, but by going up a size I had extra room in the belly. Hope you enjoy this little round-up and stay tuned for our upcoming birth announcement!

Amazon Prime Day Back to School and Fall Picks

Can you believe we are already halfway through Summer? Oh my goodness! Time flies. I shared a bunch of my favorite summer items for Amazon Prime Day in yesterday’s post. Today I decided it was time to round up a bunch of my back-to-school favorites and Fall items. I love the earthy colors, classic shapes, and workwear. You can even grab a couple of party dresses to have on hand. I also love mixing in things like scarves, cap toe mules, and teddy coats. Corduroy skirts and sweater dresses are must-haves for the early Fall chilly evenings! You can shop a ton of items at the bottom of this post along with ways I’ve styled each look!

The Ultimate Amazon Gift List

Okay procrastinators! It’s T-minus two weeks until Christmas Day. The closer we get, the fewer the options you’ll have. This year I’ve crossed all but two off my list so far. However, there have been many years I couldn’t afford to do so until the very last minute. I figured an Amazon list was in order since this shopping mecca provides quick service delivery times and has basically anything and everything you will need.

Turning Setbacks into Comebacks

Ever been knocked down hard and you didn’t even see it coming? Well, I have! Actually it happened at the beginning of this year and I’m not even referring to COVID-19. This year didn’t really start off the way I imagined, not that anything ever really turns out how we expect it to. For the past two years I’ve worked on building a life full of purpose. It’s been the wildest ride of my life. When you want to create a mission based life, it requires digging down pretty deep. The more I stepped into the person I wanted to be — the further away from a relationship I stepped. I started drawing boundaries and those boundaries were discarded by someone extremely close to me. It was hard. I never thought that would be the case, but there it was. I had to make a choice be true to the person God created me to be or conform to what someone else wanted me to be.
