I loved being in an atmosphere giving thanks to God for the blessing of a new year. I put my own spin on the traditional sweater look for sweater weather by pairing this Anthropologie sweater skirt with this fun blouse by Gracia.

On Saturday September 29, 2018, I gave birth to my son, RJ. The experience of becoming a mother for the first time is like no other. I've spent the last few weeks bonding with my son and mothering. I'm soaking up the newness of this whole experience.
My Mother-in-Law and cousin threw us a baby shower in early August. Our Baby-Q (isn’t it such an adorable summertime baby shower theme) felt intimate and warmed with the love of our families and close friends who we were thrilled to celebrate with.
I'm currently 38 weeks pregnant and getting everything ready for our baby boy. I'm so excited to meet him! I used to love looking at other people's maternity photos before getting pregnant, and knew I wanted to do one in my third trimester.

My best friend LOVES tea, so when she came to visit me this past weekend, we decide to do afternoon tea. Afternoon tea is a quiet leisurely affair that would give us time to talk, catch up and enjoy some much-needed uninterrupted girl time.
