Today we did a day trip down to Sarasota! 🌊We checked out @motemarinelab which had 3 parts to it and even had a whole area for kiddos to run around and play! Lunch was at @drydockwaterfrontgrill (try the blackened grouper tacos 🌮 ) Vivian and I shared a virgin daiquiri and it was perf because it felt like 1000° outside. Luckily we were able to sit inside to keep us from the red tide smell. If you don’t know what red tide is, it’s the common name for harmful algal blooms occurring along coastal regions which kill fish and marine life. It’s very common on the west coast of Florida but more prominently this summer.

Anddddd of course we couldn’t leave Sarasota without getting some @fiveodonutco 🍩 😍 They have the best gourmet donuts and I stalk their insta daily lmao

🚗What’s your favorite town to do day trips to by you!?

Headed out to look at properties in a town about 40 mins from where we currently live and me being me had to find the cutest coffee shop and make my husband drive 25 minutes out of the way 😂

@mountaineercoffee had super yummy homemade Nutella pop tarts 😋🍫

So we’re finally thinking of making the switch to country living opposed to city. Are you team city living 🌇 or country living🐄?!

Coffee date with my girl at the cutest coffee shop

Coffee date with my girl at the cutest coffee shop, Orange Cat Coffee (couldn’t find them on IG). Been a little MIA here but because traveling with a toddler is no joke! Don’t get me wrong I absolutely love it but I am exhausted by the end of the day 😅

We’ve spent 2 weeks between Alabama and NY visiting my family! We’ve eaten at our favorite food spots: @platterschocolates @hooversdairy @craft_coffee_house @santoraspizzacatering and Dicamillos bakery! We’ve spent time with friends and family and I’m so excited we got this time before baby brother comes this fall ❤️

Tell me one thing better than putting on Christmas

Tell me one thing better than putting on Christmas pajamas and watching a new Christmas movie while it’s 95° out?!😅 #AD

I’ll be streaming the cutest new Christmas movie, A Chance for Christmas, on @tubi . It’s about a social media influencer who falls in love. I won’t spill the beans on the rest. 🤪 Grab some sweet and salty popcorn (which you all know I’ve been craving lately) and tune in! It’s free! Our new @amazonfiretv fire stick makes streaming it super simple with @tubi ! I love how we can plug it into any tv in the house!

25 weeks along with baby brother while still chasing this crazy animal 🤪 It’s getting increasingly more difficult to chase after her. This last week I’ve been out of breath from walking and starting to feel sore when picking her up 😫 I hate to ask for help or complain but really I know this is going to get more difficult as the next 15 weeks go by😕

🔽Give me all the preggo with a toddler tips!!

Read for some travel tips with kiddos:

I was just telling Lee how after 2 years, I finally feel like we have traveling with a baby/toddler down to a science 😅 We’ve had numerous shit show vacations but we finally reached a sweet spot 👏🏻 and I need to share how to help another struggling mama.

•If staying at a hotel, call ahead to have a fridge and microwave in the room. This will help keep snacks and milk for bedtime/morning.

•Get a 2 bedroom if you can to put baby in there opposed to your room. (Our kid NEVER slept well with us in the same room and this still applies)

•Put baby in the pack n play and into the closet or bathroom! Sounds weird but it’s super dark and quiet for them so it helps.

•Most hotels/Airbnbs offer travel cribs or cribs! Check before arrival to arrange. If not, there are plenty of baby equipment rental companies nationally like @babyquip .

•Stick to schedule if you can, it’s all baby knows so it helps.

•Bring sleep sack, books, sound machine, blanket and crib sheets to help their sleep environment feel familiar for baby.

•Baby camera! Having a cheap one to bring for travel is convenient, if not just bring yours!

Last but not least, don’t freak out if your baby doesn’t sleep through the night or ends up in bed with you. If you let this frustrate you then chances you’ll go on another trip are slim and it will be traumatic. Go with the flow, even if it means 2-4 cups of coffee in the AM 🤪

✈️ What is your best travel tip with kiddos!?

You always see people say marriage is hard. But fo

You always see people say marriage is hard. But for those who have never been married it can be an extremely overwhelming and confusing statement. When people say marriage is hard they mean that when you get into a disagreement, you don’t run away. It means truly growing from every single thing (like admitting when you’re wrong and learning why). It means enduring having children (if you choose to do so) and learning to love each other even when you haven’t showered in days. It means communicating everything (my best advice) and talking about each other’s expectations.

It just means that you’re here for the long haul and will do anything. Now sometimes these things will come easy because the person you marry is YOUR PERSON and you absolutely don’t want to be with another person so obviously you’ll figure it out.

I’m rambling at this point, but I’m just here to say I’m proud to call this man my husband and what every day of marriage brings us.

Whoooooa we’re halfway there 👶🏻 20 weeks

Whoooooa we’re halfway there 👶🏻

20 weeks have flown by like no other and it’s probably because I’m chasing a toddler 🤪 Baby boy looks healthy, only thing noticed was a low lying placenta for me which all you helped calm my nerves about in stories yesterday! I wanted to share a few things that I’ve noticed about pregnancy this time around:

•Sharing the news with our family since the day we found out has been really exciting. Regardless, I’m glad they knew early in for any support I needed.

•LOVE YOUR BODY. Dang is it hard to love it while it’s getting bigger but pregnancy is so so beautiful and if I don’t love it during it then I know I’ll be sad after that I didn’t.

•2nd pregnancy lacks the excitement and anxiousness as the first had but since it’s my last pregnancy, I’m trying so hard to savor it.

Can you relate to any of the things I noticed!?

So if you saw my stories over the weekend, we drov

So if you saw my stories over the weekend, we drove 3 hours away for a trip and I forgot to pack Vivian’s suitcase with everything in it 😱 *cue the panic* Thankfully we were able to get by with some stuff.. let me break down what I think you MUST keep in your diaper bag as a toddler mom:

•2 outfits- Always have even since she was a baby!
•4-6 diapers- They say 1 for every hour you’re gone!
•Wipes- duh!
•Snacks 🍪🍊 I don’t know one mom who doesn’t have at least 3 different snacks in the bag at all times.
•Lovey- if your kid has a lovey then it’s probably already in the car!
•Travel silverware- we have a @beaba_usa set that is always in the bag!

Sounds basic but this got us through majority of the first day until it was time for bed!

👜 What’s your must have item in your diaper bag?!

I did not want to post this photo. I thought to my

I did not want to post this photo. I thought to myself “my legs are huge” “look at my cellulite” “I don’t have a cute smile” “my arms look huge” and the list goes on and on. To be honest, yesterday was one of those days that I just cried and cried because I hate my body.

But upon looking at this photo this morning, I can’t help but to feel thankful for my body. My body has grown 2 babies. Which is amazing all on its own. We don’t give our bodies enough credit for what it does day in and day out. It allows me to be present and move throughout the day with my toddler, which some are not lucky enough to do.

So here I am reminding you to appreciate your body regardless of how it looks. Because you only get ONE body so you may as well love it ❤️

18 Week Update: Officially feeling baby’s tiny little kicks.. more like flutters🦋 (which is actually called quickening)! It’s so crazy because I only remember those huge kicks last time so these feel so new to me😆 I’ve also declared that I’ll probably only be living in dresses this summer and I’m not mad about it! I’ve worn this twice this week.. it’s SO comfy and only $20!

👣How many weeks were you when you first felt little baby kicks!?

Vivian’s Moana 2nd Birthday 🌸🌺 We hosted

Vivian’s Moana 2nd Birthday 🌸🌺

We hosted Vivian’s first in person birthday party yesterday and it was perfect! She is in love with all things Moana so we went with a Moana theme mixed with luau (asked everyone to wear Hawaiian colors). 🌺 We did it in the morning which was perfect because it’s already 90° here in FL ☀️and great for kiddos. Even had a toddler bounce house to let them bounce that energy out (some companies rent these but we purchased ours).

Thanks to Pinterest literally for all of this vision and Amazon for having everything I needed 😆 I made the ballon arch myself (takes like 30 mins total) as well as all of the decor!

⭐️I saved all of the decor and how to’s to a story highlight on my page!

Happy birthday to my literal other half, @lee_boogy ❤️ Life with you is extra sweet (especially when you let me have the last bite of dessert) and I wouldn’t want it any other way 😘 I love you!

PS: When can we go impromptu hiking in Costa Rica again? 🤪

Was going to caption this something about how I love being the mom with the cookie jar. But ya know what? I’m freakin exhausted. I always wanted to be the Pinterest mom. You know the one who ALWAYS has warm cookies waiting for her kids after school? As these days go by, they get harder wirh a toddler and honestly some days, I don’t know how to keep going. Some days I want to go for a drive.. alone. But can’t because you know, mom life.

It’s exhausting being on demand 24/7. Constantly having your mom switch on. Now that we have baby #2 on the way, I truly am lost at how you mamas of multiples do it! 🤯HELP! What is your best advice for a new mom of 2?

We heard baby boy’s heartbeat at my appointment the other day ❤️ It wasn’t the same that lee wasn’t there with me to hear it but thankfully I was able to record it 🥺

Side note: I may completely burst out of my pre-preggo leggings soon if I don’t stop eating carbs 😂🤰🏻 Mamas, where is your fave place to shop for bump friendly clothes?! (Doesn’t have to be maternity)

The last time I took Vivian to the beach, it was a nightmare. 😩I’ve had anxiety about it ever since. She was 16 months and kept running into the water and eating sand. It was the furthest thing from relaxing.

Today I took her to the beach for the first time since and it was what I envisioned a beach day with my child: we played in the sand, found countless shells, played in the water as waves splashed against us, lots of giggles. 🌊

Take this as a sign to do something that you swore you’d never do or something that gave you major anxiety before. It could turn out to be the best day💙
