1 4 W E E K S ✨

I can’t believe we’re coasting into the second trimester already! Second pregnancies truly fly by probably because I’m chasing after a toddler all day 🤪 I’ve only taken one bump pic at 5 weeks and figured I should document being 1/3 way to meeting our next babe👶🏻 I feel like I’m definitely starting to show way earlier this time around!

2nd time mamas🤰🏻 When did you start to show with baby #2?!

Some people have asked if we know the gender and thanks to @sneakpeektest , we do 😆💙💗

@sneakpeektest is an early gender DNA test that can be done right at home! It takes about 20 minutes to do and has 99.9% accuracy. Once you send your sample in, you can find out the gender as fast as 72 hours (you can even have the results sent to a third person to do a reveal).

Stay tuned for the reveal this week! What do you think we’re having?! Comment a 💗 or 💙 below!

We spent 1 week in NY (where I’m from) to see family that we haven’t seen since 2019 and it was the best ever! We had plans of traveling up there often last year but well we know how that story goes 🙄

Every time we visit our family, it makes me wish I lived in the same city as them or even just driving distance. Being able get breakfast with my papa or hang out at my mom’s. But until they all move to Florida this is our usual.✈️

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦Does your family live near you?!

#AD When I was a teenager, I always thought I had the worst skin yet everyone told me I had great skin. I think it was mostly because it didn’t look airbrushed like girls in makeup ads. Eventually into my twenties, I learned to love my skin. To love the way my cheeks get rosy. To love the way my eyes are shaped. To love the glisten of oily skin at the end of a long day.

It makes me sad that I spent so many years wondering why my skin didn’t look like a magazine model’s. But it makes me even more happy that now at almost 27 (yikes that makes me feel old😆) I have finally accepted and embraced the beauty that I’ve had all along. @tula helps me day in and day out with their clean skincare products made of probiotics and superfoods! Let me tell you, I feel like my skin just left a spa after every cleanse ✨

Join me in @tula #EmbraceYourSkin and share your honest and real journey to loving your beautiful skin❤️

Hey, @lee_boogy can we go to Savannah, GA again and eat for 3 days straight? 😋 This breakfast was from @bmatthewseatery and I’m still dreaming about that biscuit 😍

Every vacation, I like to thoroughly plan out where to eat. Literally, we never eat anywhere unless I’ve stalked it on IG, Yelp, and Facebook. I mean hey, I like good food and don’t want to be disappointed 🤷🏻‍♀️

👋🏻Anyone else like this?!

DIY 1st Birthday Set Up💕 Vivian turned 1 right

DIY 1st Birthday Set Up💕

Vivian turned 1 right in the middle of quarantine last year so we opted for a virtual party (everyone tuned in via FaceTime) but of course I still had to decorate for my girl! Here’s a few tips for anyone wanting to DIY their kiddos birthday party!

•Balloon Garlands from amazon are only like $10 and SO easy. Probably took us 20 mins to this (we blew them up with a bicycle pump)

•Pinterest everything! The tassels and name banner are both made by me and I found the tutorials on Pinterest!

•The cake is all box and store bought but I bought small cake pans to give it the cute small look! Again easy especially since she smashed it. Most grocery stores offer free smash cakes (ask the bakery!)

•Make an amazon wish list of gifts you’d like for your kiddo that way it’s easy for friends and family to mail them to you!

•Take tons of pictures! I can’t believe I’m already planned her 2nd birthday 😭

🎈What are your DIY party tips!?

I talked on stories yesterday about how Vivian’s speech isn’t as advanced as other kiddos her age. It’s something I don’t chat about too much, but maybe I should. When I share these struggles, I’m simply doing it so that some other mom who is in a similar situation doesn’t feel alone. ❤️

It takes a lot to be vulnerable and open on social media. Opening up with things that weigh on my mind isn’t easy, but I can tell you that the love and support I receive on here makes it so worth it. My favorite thing about this community is the support! It’s crazy how we live in a world physically lonely at times yet so full in our social media family!

⬇️Soo, share your favorite blogger or IGer that is open, honest, and makes you feel like their friend! 👯‍♀️

#AD Tell me if this sounds like you.. Picking up toys ALL day long, running errands, giving baths and singing songs then realizing you forgot to feed yourself?! Because it’s literally me and it’s why I love Dole Boosted Blends® Protein for lunch when I’m busy with ya know, mom life 😅

Dole Boosted Blends® Protein are made with blueberries and banana that blend perfectly with a protein boost of whey and almond butter to deliver a delicious smoothie that packs 10 grams of protein per serving that helps keep me full. Best part is that they are Gluten-Free and Non-GMO 🙌🏻

If you’re looking for a quick snack to keep you on track this new year, check out Dole Boosted Blends® Protein at your local Publix 🫐🍌

Kicking off February the only way we know, with sweets 🍓 We went to @parkesdale for strawberry milkshakes and strawberry shortcake. It was AMAZING (we have an extra milkshake in the freezer 😋)

🥰I’m declaring that a trip to @parkesdale is now a February tradition for our family as it is for many other Tampa Bay families.

💌What are your February traditions?! Valentine’s baskets? Heart pancakes? Share with me!

Are you even a mom if you don’t make cinnamon rolls into the shapes of hearts for Valentine’s Day?! I’ve seen this all over Instagram the last few years and had to do it with Vivian! She loved them and even ate them breakfast, lunch and dinner😆

Lately she has been the pickiest eater and she is soooo choosey with what she eats. I know kids get in phases but dang it makes me feel like I’m failing. Makes me feel like I’m not doing a good enough job of feeding her. I know I definitely could give her more fruits and veggies but still 😫

What’s the craziest thing your kid demanded to eat instead of the delicious meal you prepared?!😆

Ya know what’s ironic? Yesterday I hopped on stories to chat about how I handle my toddler’s tantrums and the rest of the day was a nightmare of tantrums and today was the same 🙃

I got a DM yesterday saying that I’m a super mom and while that’s flattering, it’s far from the truth. Instagram is a highlight reel and while I try to be super transparent with y’all, not everything makes the cut to IG. Kinda like how I sat in my laundry room to take a few deep breaths while my kid was freaking the f out. Or how I just want to crumble and cry because I’m trying so hard but sometimes I just can’t keep up with the big feelings of my toddler 😭

Although things look like rainbows and butterflies on Instagram, it definitely does not mean we have it all together. We’re all just hanging on by a thread by bedtime 👏🏻😓

Do you remember the last time you went on a vacation to sleep?!

As a mom, the thing I look forward to on any trip is S L E E P😴 It’s crazy how you take for granted simple things like sleep and sitting in bed watching the show of your choice. But sometimes it’s SO needed. I’ve recently been focusing on filing my own cup up and this was exactly what I needed.😌

This past weekend my sister in law and I had a girls trip that our husbands actually surprised us with at @omniorlandofl 👏🏻 (they were buttering us up for their golf trip) We spent the day at the Spa and had my first hot stone massage 🙌🏻 Swipe to see the making of this pic and my SIL falling off the bed😂

If you were to take a kid-free vaca right now, what would you be doing?!

Today, I lost my patience. More times than I’d like.

And I can’t help but feel so guilty because of it. It’s not her fault that I’m having trouble handling my emotions while she’s learning to understand her own. But how many times can you say “Please stop touching that”?! Not every day is perfect. Some days she’s an angel, other days she’s a little devil. Each age has come with new challenges and boy is the toddler stage the hardest yet 😣 Constantly reminding myself that she still doesn’t have an understanding of her actions and emotions! I have to admit I use that as an affirmation almost and it truly has helped me parent better at times.

How do you handle the BIG feelings of toddlers? Help a mama out 😖
