White for Spring | Best White Dresses and Jumpsuits

White Dress | Knot Sisters Blossom Dress | Beek Vitamin A Palila Slide Sandals
I’m all about black in winter, and ready to break out the white come spring! Wearing white can be tough with babies, but I refuse to give it up.

I love wearing white now that we’re starting to have some sunny days, and also love the idea of wearing it for Easter, too! The white dress below…

Dressing Like You’re Pregnant, or Not Dressing Appropriately for Being Pregnant?

If the way that I dress hasn’t changed much now that I’m showing, does that mean I’ve always dressed like I’m pregnant, or that now I’m not dressing accordingly?

The Bump in Action + The Gender Roller Coaster

Guys – hi! Can I just say that pregnancy is a ROLLER COASTER?! And it just so happens that for us, finding out the gender has been no different.

The Golden Gate Bridge | Best Viewpoint

Blake and I decided to make a stop at the Golden Gate Bridge on our road trip.  He couldn’t remember being there when he was little, and even though I feel like I’ve been there a million times it never gets old.  As Blake said on our trip, “Bridges are just so cool.”  And this is one of the coolest!  For those of you who haven’t been, you need to go!  And if you’re wondering…
