Happy Valentine’s Day from the cutest little besties. Crosby gets more obsessed with Mackie every day so it was only fitting to do a little love day shoot with the two of them. I remember last Valentine’s Day so clearly and can’t believe it’s already been a year. Crosby was only 11 months old and we went shopping and mailed out her Bday invitations. This year we made Valentines and are going out to breakfast for heart shaped bagels. So crazy that next year I’ll have another little Valentine.

(See my post from last year with the same balloons here)

Jeff and I typically don’t go overboard on Valentine’s Day. This year we’re actually celebrating tomorrow with a special 4D ultrasound and dinner. We tried the 4D’s with Crosby but I had anterior placenta so it was really hard to get a good shot. Fingers crossed we get one this time!

I got Crosby this dress before the holidays and she actually wore it one of the times she visited Santa. It’s out of stock now but I thought it was perfect for Valentine’s Day too!

I found a few other dresses I love with a similar vibe:

One of our favorite brands for clothes for Crosby is Masala Baby. This dress is so cute for spring/summer. Love the tassels.

This dress is so sweet and a great neutral. Thinking about getting it for family pictures next weekend.

This one is another sweet dress that’s the prettiest shade of blush.

This velvet dress has a similar vibe and it’s currently on sale.

Love anything that comes in a two-pack… how perfect are these dresses?

The prettiest party dress and such a great price!

Hope you have a great Valentine’s Day! Thank you so much for reading and following. XO

It’s no secret I love any reason to match with Crosby, but Valentine’s Day makes it even more fun! We are loving red right now… specifically our new red dresses. I mentioned I got Crosby this one last week and I picked up this red ribbed mini for me as well. Our weather was so perfect over the weekend we couldn’t wait to break them out to celebrate a little early.

My dress is not maternity so I sized up one size. This has been what I’ve been doing with most things lately and something I get a lot of questions about. With stretchy dresses it’s an easy solution. If they have a zipper or not a lot of give you really have to try them on to find the best fit.

I found 4 other dress combos that I’m loving for Valentine’s Day. For both mom and mini.

• I’m thinking about ordering this one for an event I’m going to next week. I like that it’s not your typical V-Day red or pink. They black and white heart print is something that can be worn all year round. And for your baby/toddler, I think this jumper would be so cute to wear with it. Still the heart print but a pop with pink and red.
• I recently pulled my maternity clothes I wore when I was pregnant with Crosby down from the attic and re-discovered this dress. It’s still in stock and really flattering with a bump. I got Crosby this one to match and can’t wait to wear them together!
• If you have fancier plans, I think this blush dress is so pretty. To coordinate, I found this one for your mini… and I mean, it’s the cutest ever.
• Another look I love is this fun rose print romper. A pretty touch for Valentine’s Day and can definitely be worn into spring. Would be so cute paired with this blush lace dress for babies and toddlers.

This week I thought it would be fun to share what’s in my online shopping cart. Aside from purchases for the nursery, with which I won’t bore you with again, I’ve been doing some damage online this week. Look away, Jeff!

I already mentioned in my post yesterday, but I got Crosby a bunch of cute things at Gymboree’s going out of business sale. This dress, these two t-shirts (1 and 2) and these socks.

Since my body seems to be growing by the day I’m getting a little bored with my clothing options. I ordered this dress from my post yesterday and this jumper. Hopefully it fits because I think it would be so cute to find a similar one for Crosby and wear them together.

You all know I’m obsessed with Freshly Picked moccasins. Crosby has worn them basically since birth and I’m getting baby boy set to do the same. He already has a few pairs in newborn sizes but I went ahead and got him started on size 1’s. I got mocs in honey and dark gray and oxfords in baby blue and black. And because I couldn’t resist, I got Crosby their new shearling lined mocs and these cute rose gold tennis shoes.

I’ve been wanting a pair of huggie earrings but didn’t want to spend a lot $$$. I saw this pair from Gorjana that are perfect and the price point is great too.

n:Philanthropy makes my absolutely favorite sweats and casual t-shirts. I’ve been living in them the past few months but they were starting to get a little short. #pregnancyproblems I needed some new ones to cover my bump. Love this tee, these joggers  and this pullover.

I found this adorable t-shirt while browsing Pinterest and couldn’t order it fast enough. It’s honestly the perfect shirt for pregnancy and I wish I had it earlier.

Thanks for reading – hope you have a great weekend!

The weather is warming up and I’m getting into the Valentine’s Day spirit over here. Love a fun dress for V-Day and when I saw this one I knew it would be perfect. It’s not maternity and doesn’t have a lot of stretch so I went up 2 whole sizes and it actually fits great! This bump is getting so big, if I want to wear non-maternity I definitely need to size up.

I tracked down some other festive dresses that I think would be so cute with or without a bump #pregsandregs 

• This one is perfect and under $15. It comes in two colors and I think I want to order both.
• Instagram’s favorite non-maternity maternity dress. Ha! But it’s so flattering pregnant or not. Love this color for Valentine’s Day.
• A similar vibe to the one I’m wearing and only $20. Definitely size up if you’re pregnant.
• This one is more of a rust color but I love the shape and the subtle ruffle at the bottom. And it looks so comfortable!
• If you’re looking for something fancier, this one is a great option. I have it in a few colors and think it would definitely work with a bump too. Again, size up.
• Obsessed with this one. The details are so dainty and pretty and love the print.
• This one would be really cute with tights or boots if you live somewhere colder.

And because kids are even more fun to dress, I got this dress for Crosby. Gymboree is going out of business so I popped in the other day and picked up a few things. I also got her two cute t-shirts: here and here and these socks to match. Their sale is happening online too and there’s a lot for an additional 50% off.

Just spreading a little early Valentine’s Day love!

A few weeks ago it was cold and cloudy and even rained once or twice. I was going a little stir crazy after being inside with a baby all week so we decided to head out on an adventure. We drove up the coast a ways and discovered some nearby beach towns we’d never really visited before. And even though it was cold and felt like our one week of winter, it was such a fun day.
