When I was pregnant one of the questions I was asked the most was if I was going to nurse my baby. I always answered, of course, what could be so hard?! I was so naive then. HA! Nothing prepared me for how hard breast feeding was. It’s really a full time job between learning how, getting the baby to latch and how often you have to do it, especially at first. Now that I’m three months in I feel like I’m finally starting to get it.

Now that I’m a mom I’ve turned into a slight freak about germs. Like most new parents, anytime anyone comes over to see Crosby we make them wash their hands first. Now that she’s a few months old we’ve gone out and about quite a bit and the one thing that continues to give me peace of mind on our excursions is this cute little hand sanitizer Birdie from OLIKA. It literally goes everywhere with me and luckily it’s super cute! Not only is it a hand sanitizer but there is also a hidden pocket for wipes! I don’t know what I’d do without it.

How it’s already mid-May is beyond me! Everyone told me once I had a baby the days would be long but the weeks short and I actually don’t agree with that. The days are super short too! I get about an hour to an hour and a half in between feedings and during that time it’s like setting a timer to try to get everything I want done. Do I want to write a blog post? Respond to emails? Clean up the house? Run a quick errand (actually I just took her out solo for the first time yesterday)? My point is however I chose to spend that time is always quick and rushed making the days just fly by.

My pregnancy is flying by… I have 10 weeks (or less) left! And so far I’ve worn most of my normal clothes/sized up. I’m getting to that point where I need to stock up on some basics to get me through the next couple months. I do have one pair of maternity jeans that I love and a couple tops. I’ve been struggling a bit with maternity clothes though. I already talked about ASOS last week- love their maternity section. This week I’m focused on a few other sites I love.

Pink, gray and nude is one of my favorite color combinations all year round. There are so many different shades of each color and they’re neutral and flattering on everyone. I picked up this hat last week on a Target run and have had to stop myself from already over-wearing it. I’d been looking for an affordable blush felt hat and was so happy to finally find one.

Even though the weather isn’t exactly cooperating, chunky knit sweaters are a must for me this time of year. I wear them when it’s cold in the mornings, in the AC on set and in the evenings around the house. They’re so cozy and can be really chic too.

Each year I seem to have one or two favorites that get worn to death and I’m still searching for this years favs. Shop my picks below.
