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

8 months of growing you little love 💕 Pregnanc 8 months of growing you little love 💕

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

Holiday Gift Guide For Her: My Wish List

November 19, 2018 / Beauty & Style, Gift Guides

Finding the perfect gift is hard, but it does not have to be! ?Witrh this Holiday Gift Guide For Her you will find just the right gift!

Gift Guide for Her: My Ultimate Wish List

Today’s gift guide just might be my favorite and came highly requested by you all! I bring you my perfect list of swoon-worthy goodies for your holiday wish-list, or the perfect excuse for a pre-holiday treat yo self (or someone else, of course, because ’tis the season).

The older I get the more I look for quality in the items I purchase or ask for as gifts. Some of my picks for this guide are items I own and LOVE and whole-heartedly recommend. Others are things on my personal wish-list that I think makes the ideal holiday ask.

PS- This guide is perfect to forward along to your hubs, boyfriend, or family member asking what you want for Christmas this year!

As usual with my gift guides, every image is clickable and shop-able. Just scroll over, click, and it will take you directly to the goods! I’ve also included a little breakdown of why I included each of the items. Enjoy!!

*SCROLL DOWN TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS POST TO ENTER A $500 AMAZON GIVEAWAY!*

1. J. Crew Chateau Parka in Heather Dusk

This coat is definitely an investment, but that is why I would ask for it as a gift! I love the length and structure of it, the A-line frame and wool texture make it so you can dress it up or down! Plus who doesn’t love a beautiful faux fur hood!? (J. Crew $365 – but will go on sale!)

2. Bauble Bar Vina Drop Earrings

I LOVE receiving jewelry as a gift, there’s something so special about it! And these earrings I just think are so beautiful – anything raw/druzy-looking gets me every time!! (Nordstrom, $36)

3. Kyi Kyi Cable Knit Beanie

This pom pom beanie is adorable – the bigger the pom the better!! Its super high quality and real fox fur. Any hat-lover would be thrilled to receive this one as a gift! (Nordstrom, $85)

4. Petrified Wood Serving Board

Ok, this gift is SO ME. If you know me you know I have a love for rocks, petrified wood included. So a petrified wood serving board is right up my alley (and would match my petrified wood coaster set!!). Even though it’s a bit different I think anyone can appreciate it’s beauty and simplicity. This would be a great hostess gift as well! (Terrain, $88)

5. Beauty Bio GloPRO Microneedling Facial Regeneration Tool

I did micro needling at a media-spa a couple years back and LOVED IT. Seriously. It changed my skin so drastically for the better and I SWEAR by it! Technology has come a long way since then and, as I still think having the procedure medically done is best, I can’t help but want the convenience of being able to do it in the comfort of my own home! This one is the best on the market and would make the perfect gift for any skincare lover! (Nordstrom, $249)

Finding the perfect gift is hard, but it does not have to be! ?Witrh this Holiday Gift Guide For Her you will find just the right gift!

6. Floret Farmer-Florist Toolbelt

Again, this gift guide is called ‘my wish list’ so of course, something farmy/flower-related would be on here! I own this tool belt and let me tell you – it is a must-have for any gardener. A pruners holster and extra pockets right on the hip makes a world of difference when out in the garden tending to your plants. Plus it’s made by my friend Erin at Floret Flower Farm and she’s the best! You can choose right-handed or left-handed (so convenient!), I highly recommend this as a gift for the garden lover in your life! (Floret flowers.com, $175)

7. Barefoot Dreams Pajama Set

You can just imagine how buttery soft and cozy these PJs are by Barefoot Dreams! Pajamas (luxury pajamas) are always a great gift idea, bonus – these would be great for nursing moms! They fit TTS, come in a bunch of colors and are super comfortable to sleep in as well! (QVC, $130)

8. Rebecca Minkoff Washed Nylon Tote in Vintage Pink

This tote is the perfect size for your everyday pocketbook or I’ve even used it as my extra carry-on while traveling. Throw one of those tote-savvy organizers in it and it could also be a diaper bag! I love the versatility, plus its CUTE and the fabric is super different. Comes in a bunch of colors! (Nordstrom, $145)

9. BP Leopard Scarf

Anyone else obsessed with the leopard trend?? Well, I’m guilty over here! I am loving leopard print accessories this season and if you are too this scarf is a winner. Scarves are a great, classic gift idea! (Nordstrom, $19)

10. Adirondack III Waterproof Ugg Boot

Obsessed with these boots. They’re both functional and beautiful, plus they’re great quality so you know you’ll get a few years out of them. I love this style because you could dress them up or down – picture them with faux leather leggings and a dressier cardigan or your basic joggers and casual parka. Seriously love them and they are definitely part of my wish list this year! (Nordstrom, $249)

11. Barefoot Dreams Throw

I’ve had my eye on this throw for quite some time! I have a blanket that looks similar with same the soft leopard print (there it is again!). But really nothing compares to the softness of that signature Barefoot Dreams material! This would make a great gift for any woman but I guarantee your mother or MIL would REALLY love it!! (QVC, $180)

12. Dakota Water Resistant Ugg Slipper

Warm and cozy slippers are a must on any gift guide wish list! These moccasin-style Uggs fit the bill and they also have a rubber sole for indoor and light outdoor use. The reviews say they fit TTS and with 3.1k of them, they still have 5 stars!! Definitely part of my wish list this year, plus they come in a bunch of colors! (Nordstrom, $100)

13. Victor & Rolf Flower Bomb Perfume Set

This is my tried and true perfume, the fragrance is HEAVENLY and the beautiful packaging looks gorgeous sitting on my bathroom counter. I love this perfume because of it’s understated floral and fresh scent – notes of bergamot, jasmine, mandarin and vanilla are the most recognizable in the seductive and ultra-feminine bouquet. This 4pc. gift set is gorgeous and you would get many months of use out of it! (Nordstrom, $168)

14. Kate Spade Eliza Leather Wallet

As a new mom, I’ve come to appreciate the simple, convenient and functional. That is everything this wallet is plus some chic on the side! The wrist strap is super convenient and there’s plenty of room inside for all your goodies. I am due for a new wallet and this is the one I would go for! (Nordstrom, $110)

15. Fresh Sugar Wanderlust Lip Set

Give me all the lip balms! I have a thing with chapsticks, balms, lip scrubs, basically anything hydrating for my lips. Fresh has become a brand I truly love, I use their lip balms everyday. They have clear, everyday styles, as well as tinted balms and they all, are nourishing and protecting. This gift set is super cute plus gives you the whole variety! (Nordstrom, $53)
