Tulum

May 20, 2018.Reading time 23 minutes.

Tulum is Mexico’s hottest spot right now. It’s known for its beautiful white sand beaches, eco-friendly hotels, yoga culture, Mayan ruins, and hipster vibe. If you’re on social media, there is a good chance you have seen images of its Mayan baths and dreamy hammocks that swoon over the jungle. When you think of Tulum, […]

Selah + her Alma Mini Crib by Bloom

March 19, 2018.Reading time 3 minutes.

You may not have noticed, but our Selah is a big baby! She is 6 months and coming in around 25lbs + 28 inches! And while nothing is as sweet as a chubby baby, our big baby has caused some not so sweet situations… like outgrowing necessities that usually last until a baby is one […]

Selah’s Nursery Recap

January 8, 2018.Reading time 7 minutes.

Much like my thank you cards/Selah’s birth announcements, this blog post is hella late! But, I figure better late than never. I still get lots of questions on where I got things + I’m a firm believer of “sharing is caring” so let’s do this. I went with a loose nature theme, with blush, rose […]

3 Ways to Take Care of You After a Miscarriage

October 30, 2017.Reading time 9 minutes.

Everyone handles grief differently. Some shut down and retreat into their own world, while others throw themselves into work, the roles we assume, relationships, and other things… any thing, that will fill the gaping hole that loss has left behind. For me, the moments after my miscarriages were still. I quickly learned that no amount […]

3 Reasons You Should Talk About Your Miscarriage

October 29, 2017.Reading time 7 minutes.

I first miscarried in 2011. Only a few people even knew I was pregnant, and I didn’t talk about it until a year later. I stood up in my sisters wedding a week after the loss, I went back to work, and I moved through life pretty numb. I remember one of my friends, who […]

I know, I know. You’re tired, cranky, bloated… so, so, so very bloated, and none of your pre-baby clothes fit. I know. You just want to stay home in your sweatpants + a robe…. mmmmmm cozy!

Dress the Bump // Outdoor Concerts + Festivals

May 24, 2017.Reading time 2 minutes.

It’s almost summer time in Music City, and you know what that means… outdoor concerts + festivals! I don’t care how big, how hot, or how sweaty I get… being pregnant will not keep me from all the concerts + all the festivals. Last week, we attended our first outdoor concert of the season, and it […]

Dress the Bump // Denim

May 16, 2017.Reading time 3 minutes.

If you’re pregnant during the summer, it can be hard to step away from dresses. They are so easy, so cute, and so comfortable. But after a while, any fashionista is going to need to change it up! Luckily, one doesn’t have to look far for maternity fashion inspo. I never thought denim was something I’d really […]

Dress the Bump // The Basics

May 10, 2017.Reading time 2 minutes.

When I first got pregnant, I said, I’m NOT buying maternity clothes! Then I started showing at 14 weeks. In my humble opinion, most maternity clothes focus more on comfort and less on fashion (translation: not cute). And, while I understand the need to be comfortable as your body grows and does bizarre things, I also want to […]
