Babymoon in Punta Cana

My husband and I recently got back from our babymoon in Punta Cana, and it was the absolute best trip!! Highly recommend going on a babymoon if you are able to. It was so nice to unplug and relax for a week, enjoying our last vacation before the baby arrives in just 3 months! We decided on Punta Cana for a few reasons. We knew we wanted to go somewhere tropical where we could spend all day relaxing on the...

First Trimester Recap & Essentials

I’ve been out of the first trimester for a little while now (26 weeks today!) but I still wanted to write a post recapping those first 13 weeks, and share some essentials that made life easier during that time. Overall I had a pretty smooth first trimester, which I am extremely thankful for! I found out that I was pregnant VERY early – I believe it was at 3 weeks. We did IVF, so it was not at all a...

At Home Valentine’s Day Photos

Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone! I have seen so many cute Valentine’s themed photos on Pinterest recently, I wanted to take some of my own! Shout out to my husband for going along with it 🙂 I ordered some heart garland from Amazon to make an easy backdrop, and love how it turned out! We used my Canon G7x Mark II camera, and Canon’s “camera connect” app for remote shooting. I’ll link everything I used at the bottom of the post!...

How To Get a Good Night of Sleep

I’ve made quite a few lifestyle changes over the last few years: reducing toxin exposure, improving nutrition, switching to low cortisol workouts, and reducing overall stress (to name a few.) But I think one of the best changes I have made has been prioritizing sleep. Sleep is incredibly important for our health both physically and mentally, and I have noticed improvements in almost every aspect of my life since I have started prioritizing sleep. My skin is brighter and clearer,...

Frozen Embryo Transfer: Prep, Tips & What to Expect

My husband and I started our IVF journey almost exactly one year ago, and while it took longer than we had hoped, we are finally pregnant! We did one egg retrieval (you can read my post on that here) and 3 frozen embryo transfers. I learned SO much throughout this process and wanted to share some thoughts, tips, and what we did differently the round that was successful. Please Note: I am not a medical professional; this post is a reflection...

We’re Having a Baby!!!

I am SO excited to finally share this news!! This time last year we were prepping to start IVF, and now we are less than 6 months away from meeting our double rainbow baby. It really is a dream come true! I am a little over 16 weeks pregnant now, and feeling so incredibly blessed and thankful for this miracle! The baby’s due date is in June 2024, so it looks like we’ll be sharing a birthday month 🙂 I’m...

Resort Review: Paradisus Palma Real – Punta Cana

My husband and I recently got back from a full week in the beautiful Dominican Republic! Punta Cana has become one of our favorite travel spots when we want to just sit on a beach and relax while enjoying some tropical drinks and good food. It’s an easy flight from South Carolina, and we always have a good time. We’ve stayed at a couple different resorts in Punta Cana, and this was our first time staying at the Paradisus Palma...

Halloween Entryway Decor 2023

One of my favorite things about changing seasons is updating our home decor! And while I go all out for Fall each year, I’ve never really decorated for Halloween. Not sure why, I’ve just never gotten into the holiday. There must be something in the air this year, because I have been SO excited to add some spooky touches to our house! I started with the entryway table, and now I really want to do the front porch. I love...

Amazon Lounge Set Favorites

I loveee a good lounge set, and since I work from home, it’s what I wear most of the time. Cute and comfy is the way to go! I’ve rounded up a few of my favorite lounge sets from Amazon – they have so many good options right now! And the best part of these sets is that the pieces can easily be mix and matched with other items to create more outfits. For example, the top from the set...

Amazon Spring Fashion Favorites | April 2023

Happy April 1st! It’s finally starting to feel like Spring here in South Carolina, and I am beyond ready for it – bring on the sunshine! We’ve got some exciting things going on this month too, starting with a day trip to the Master’s next week! I am really excited, mostly because my husband is a huge golf lover and I know he will be in heaven! I have no idea what to wear, but I need to figure that...
