Feeling ready to meet this babe!!! Give us your be Feeling ready to meet this babe!!! Give us your best guesses for baby’s gender — it’s a surprise and I’ve had zero “feelings” this whole time 🤣 I love hearing everyone’s predictions and reasonings though! Also throw your best name choices at us for both boys and girls because we still haven’t narrowed anything down, third child energy, no time to think 🤪✌️#herewegoagain
Happy Anniversary to my guy 💕✨ We remembered Happy Anniversary to my guy 💕✨ We remembered this is actually our 20th year together (yes, high school sweethearts 💗), but 8 years married. Adding kids to the mix has tested us in ways I never imagined (& turned your beard gray 🤣) AND also deepened and strengthened our love and relationship in ways I never knew possible. Thank you for supporting my endeavors, being the best partner to me and sharing equally in the raising our family, you’re also the second best flower farmer I know 😉 Cheers to us!!

Pregnancy insomnia is getting the best of me lately, but the right words about this experience finally came to me in the middle of the night so here ya go —

Hopeful to bring our third living babe home this fall and complete our family. Hopeful (not absolutely certain) because I know nothing is guaranteed. When you have been through losses like we have, or infertility, you unfortunately understand that the reality is not all rainbows and butterflies.

That a positive pregnancy test does not guarantee a baby in your arms.

That hearing a heartbeat once, or even a few times, does not equal a living baby 9 months later.

That “making it” to an arbitrary amount of weeks does not mean you’re “safe.”

That one good scan does not guarantee a healthy baby that will survive outside the womb.

That making an announcement, having a gender reveal, decorating a nursery, choosing a name, having a shower, still does not promise a thing.

If this sounds harsh or extreme to you that’s because it is. There’s nothing  NOT harsh or extreme about losing a baby or going through infertility.

The truth is there are no guarantees, and as loss and infertility moms we know this and understand it better than anyone. No one can tell you with 100% certainty how your journey is going to go or that it will end with a healthy, living baby in your arms. All we can do is take it day by day, and hold on to slivers of hope, which I will say is possible, and really freaking hard.

If you are in the thick of loss or infertility or pregnancy after loss I see you, I am you. It sucks and the isolation can be crippling. The only thing I can offer is do what you need to do for YOU and give zero f**ks to anyone who can’t comprehend the magnitude of this experience.

Be kind to yourself, be ruthless in your search for answers, be fierce in protecting your heart and be all around unapologetic. This is a part of your story and it sucks and however you choose to navigate it is valid AF 💪

Here’s to us, the worst girl gang ever, with the best and strongest (not by choice) members 💗

Who says you can't mix function and beauty? My @vi Who says you can't mix function and beauty? My @victorinoxnorthamerica Swiss Army Huntsman knife has become my go-to tool for crafting stunning floral arrangements with ease and precision. It's versatile, reliable and always at hand, making it the ultimate gardening and floral companion.

I can’t even count the number of times I use it during my flower truck events — cutting stems, cutting paper, cutting ribbon, screwing loose screws on the 1961 vintage VW frame! The convenience and versatility of this compact knife truly amazes me each time I use it!

With my Swiss Army knife in hand, I'm ready to take on any floral challenge that comes my way. 🌻💐🌷 #myVictorinox #partner

1. Tarte Passport to Paradise Holiday Collector’s Set

Guys! This set is gorgeous! And holy value!! The eyeshadow pallet alone is worth $45 in my opinion – the colors are gorgeous neutral shades. And then you also get a lip gloss, mini mascara, eyeliner, and blush. Taste is by far one of my favorite brands so whenever I see deals like this I always jump on them! (QVC, $45)

2. T3 Whirl Trio Curling Convertible Styling Wand

For the serious hair lover! I LOVE this curling iron set, can’t say enough about it! Trust me, I am no pro at doing my hair but this literally makes it so simple! I love the different size barrels it comes with, I tend to use the smaller one for tighter curls because my hair doesn’t hold a curl at all! But this iron combined with the Living Proof hair spray works WONDERS. Great gift option because it is on the pricier side! (QVC, $270)

3. Living Proof Perfect Hair Dry Shampoo with Travel Size

Can’t live without this stuff! I spray it in my roots even on clean hair for extra volume but it’s also life-saving for days when I’m just not able to wash my hair #momlife. Also, I’m just going to add I like it so much better than its Drybar competitor! (QVC, $22)

4. IT Cosmetics IT’s Your Must-Have Brush Set w/Brush Roll

This brush set is such a great value! Four brushes, two of them are double-sided, plus the gorgeous roll! These are the only brushes you’ll ever need, all the essentials in one shot! Plus the quality for the price is unmatched with It Cosmetics (QVC, $59)

5. Josie Maran Luxury Skincare Kit

Protection, glow and luxury, that’s how I would describe this new kit from Josie Maran. The organ milk is so soft (and not oily), I put it on right after I wash my face at night and it gives me an instant boost of hydration. Then I layer on the honey sleeping nectar (which is infused with her signature organ oil) and you can see the glow right away. When I wake up in the morning my skin is bright and is super supple! I use the moisturizer during the day for extra protection against the sun (its SPF 47!). (QVC, $69)

6. Dagne & Dover Makeup Bag 

I love the simplicity of this make-up/toiletry bag, it comes in different colors too! Great idea to pair this with another skincare/make-up product to make the gift more thoughtful! (Nordstrom, $55)

7. Beauty Blender Gift Set

Can’t live without my Beauty Blender! I love this set because it comes with the cleaner – it’s so important, really non-negotiable, to clean your Beauty Blender frequently! So you might as well start out on the right foot and get both at once! (Sephora, $45)

8. IT Cosmetics Je Ne Sais Quoi Lip & Cheek 4-Pc Holiday Set

This is for the festive make-up lover! The shade of this lipstick is bright but not too in your face and OMG that ombre blush {insert heart eyes}! It also comes with a beautiful brush for application and then a perfect shade of lipgloss to layer on top of the lipstick (I personally love doing this). And come on, the whole set is under $40! (QVC, $36)

9. LAURA MERCIER Shadow & Light Stick Eye Colour Collection

I just thought these colors were gorgeous, so classic and neutral. And the stick form is SO simple to apply, not to mention it actually stays on! You also can’t beat the value! (Macy’s, $39)

10. Beauty Counter Nudes Lipgloss Trio

Beauty Counter lip glosses are some of my favorite. They last and aren’t sticky! Plus you can trust the ingredients which is super important! These shades in the gift pack are beautiful neutrals, any beauty lover would be excited to receive a gift set like this! Don’t forget to name me as your consultant when you check out! (www.BeautyCounter.com/ChristineCovino, $49)

11. Sara Happ Sugar Plum Berry Holiday Set

I have been DYING to try Sara Happ products ever since I heard about her story (making lip scrubs in her kitchen) and how she built her brand into a success. She focuses exclusively on lips and is all about pampering them and giving them lasting, luxurious hydration. She definitely does lips the BEST and with this set you get a little taste of her best products! (QVC, $40)

12. Drunk Elephant The Littles Sample Set

If you’ve been following me for any amount of time you know how much of a Drunk Elephant lover I am! I swear by their macula oil and baby facial but I’m trying new things all the time. This set of samples is perfect if you want to try Sephora, $90

13. Rose Quartz Facial Roller

Nordstrom, $28

14. Ouai Hair Treatment Masque

Nordstrom, $32
