I live in rural OH now… there is no dressing up here;) So of course I was going to pack only fun dresses with zero waistlines only for this trip to France! I will always and forever feel my best in a dress…pregnant or not. I wanted to fit in one suitcase though so I kept it simple with one sweater, dresses, and a few pairs of comfortable shoes and sandals for walking.

The Girls’ New Bedroom Plans

May 21, 2024

Since our move my younger girls have had many tearful moments about missing their old bedroom. I don’t blame them! Bedrooms are full of familiarity and favorite things when you are little. It is your own world inside your home. Also didn’s hurt that it was a bonus room we converted, so it was very large!

I have gotten to the point where I would rather wear a dress than anything with a waistline! We don’t have any stores in our small town which brings most of my searching for wardrobe options online. I want to start sharing a mix of favorites I find while hunting the internet in all price ranges. Below are some Amazon budget friendly spring and summer style finds I am loving. This dress by The Drop is not maternity, but bump friendly and incredibly comfortable. I love the length and the thicker fabric.

April 17, 2024

I have come to accept that I will almost always be stepping on legos and dollhouse pieces, and picking up abandoned dolls and trucks in every room.
