Introducing . . .
our beautiful baby girl, Jordan Nicole.
our beautiful baby girl, Jordan Nicole.
I have a few favorite dishes that I like to eat out at restaurants and figured, why not try to recreate them at home? It may seem intimidating to make…
The house has been under construction for about 6 months and here is what it looked like in early June 2010. And look! We have a tree! Actually, two trees! The…
How’s your week going friends? I’m just over here counting down the days ’til the 2017 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale like a kid at Christmas! It’s so close, opening this Thursday for cardholders. ??I got a friendly letter in the mail letting me know they upped my limit just in time for the sale- #thankyouverymuch! We’ll keep this little detail to ourselves and not bother the hubby with that tidbit of info! 😉 Are you excited?!?! Of course, I’ll be sharing my picks on Thursday and then a big ‘ole dressing room round up on Friday with fit tips and recommendations. Let me know what you have questions about and I’ll do my best investigative journalism for ya!
1. Cold Shoulder Dress $118 $50
This swingy striped! cold shoulder dress is perfect for daytime or evenings out. Love the simplicity of it and the drapey fabric. Such a steal at right under $50! For a daytime look, you could wear it with the #10 sandals (they have lots of colors) & for evening, these black open toe heeled sandals would be great.
2. Statement Ring $50 $20
Show off your summer mani with this gorgeous, chic statement ring! I like to wear it on my first or middle finger on my right hand with a bold bracelet.
3. Crystal & Enamel Hinged Bangle $48 $41
This simple bangle bracelet is the perfect layering piece to your watch or with a stack of other bracelets, or worn simply alone.
4. Blue Maxi Dress $52 $39
I’m sure you’ve heard me rave about this maxi dress before. Every time I wear it, I get tons of compliments and it’s really flattering and comfortable. It’s on sale under $40! I wear XS.
5. Peacock Iphone Case $50 $25
How cute is this peacock phone case?! Your mirror selfies will be so much cuter with this little guy peeking out in them!
6. Zella High Waist Crop Leggings $65 $43
High waist leggings will be your BFF, I swear! They keep you all nice and tucked in and make you feel great while working out. Zella quality is always superb, and this pair comes in three colors with criss-cross detail at the calf. They run TTS, I wear size XS.
7. Z 6 Ruched Tee $32 $16
Although I normally wear a tank to workout, this Zella tee is my go-to when I want a t-shirt. The seams in the shirt are perfectly placed to help the illusion of a smaller waist and I like the cut of the sleeves that don’t irritate me when I’m working out.
8. Faux Leather Saddle Bag $79 $53
This crossbody bag is the prettiest light and navy blue combo. It’s also a good size, so it will hold all your necessities and then some.
9. Striped Tank $19 $11
My go-to tank, $11!!! I think I need to stock up on the other colors. It’s perfect for wearing alone or layering under cardigans or other tops. It fits TTS, XS here.
10. GiGi Sandals $60 $42
I have the older version of these sandals and they are really good! They come in tons of colors and the “beige leather” has a snakeskin pattern that goes with everything. Sam Edelman makes quality shoes that last, so I highly recommend them!
I love, love, love Michael Kors designs. Especially his watches and handbags. Since recently becoming a stay-at-home-mom, I’ve certainly been doing more admiring than acquiring. But that’s okay, I can…
Hi friend! Happy almost Thanksgiving! I’m in wind down mode for the week and looking forward to chilling with my family on Thursday. We’ll be getting together at my brother’s…
After seeing the breakfast bar in my kitchen (which now includes a quick morning oatmeal), Leanne (Away We Go) emailed me to share something similar she does in her home with…
Hi! I’m Megan, mom to a thoughtful teenager and spunky young girl. We call Houston home and recently moved into our dream home. I traded my lawyer hat to become a full-time blogger in 2010. I love sharing my passion for affordable fashion, home decor, organization, & fitness to help inspire you to take care of you!
She's gorgeous! My girls didn't have that much hair til they were three years old.
Longtime reader… congratulations on your beautiful baby girl! I am so happy for your family of four. Her name is just perfect and don't worry about the "having to explain boy or girl" thing. My daughter's name is Carrington and we've had people assume she's a boy – my husband likes it because he says that a gender neutral name makes it less difficult to put any bias as her as she gets older, applies to jobs, etc. 😉 Hope you continue to settle in well!
Yes! That's my thinking for gender-neutral names too! I love "Carrington!" Good choice.
She is a doll! Big brother looks smitten! 🙂
I'm so very happy for you! Congratulations! She is beautiful!
She's beautiful! We have an Asa that we have to correct people thinking he's a girl all the time.
She's beautiful! And I've learned that almost all names are becoming gender neutral anyway. My son's name is Noah and I've heard that Noa is a very popular girls name in Hebrew. And Blake Lively just named their daughter James, so no one is safe lol!
She's beautiful! I love Jordan but her middle name is the best, since it's mine too… Congratulations. Can't wait to see her grow before our eyes.
OMG!! SO precious! Enjoy your new sweetie! Congrats!!
I have been following your blog for years and wanted to tell you congratulations. You are beyond blessed.
She is perfect! Congratulations!
Congrats Megan! She is perfect! Your comment on your heart multiplying, not dividing warms my heart since my #2 is due in 15 days.
Thank you for sharing your journey, it made my pregnancy seem easier this time around.
My little Madelyn (11.5 months) was in newborn clothes for a LONG time and I was sorting through and cannot believe how tiny they are!
Enjoy your new little one!
She's precious, love her name, congrats again!
She's adorable! Thank you for sharing with us. Many, many congrats (and baby snuggles) 🙂
Congrats on your baby girl, she's so precious!
Congratulations! So happy for you and your family is perfect 🙂 Blessings!
My best friend has a daughter named Jordan – its a beautiful name!! Enjoy these first few weeks – they are the best 🙂
She's darling! Love her name. 🙂
Beautiful name for a beautiful girl. I just LOVE her hair!!!
She is simply precious. Love her name. Enjoy this time and take in all that newborn sweetness.
She is so precious and your son looks like he is going to be the best big brother and so protective.
What a gorgeous little girl to a gorgeous mama. I love the name, and oh my word, the hair!! My 2 month old baby is as bald as Bruce Willis. We keep wondering when he will get hair! Best wishes for this special time.
Your post brings happy tears to my eyes. Baby Jordan is so precious and beautiful! What a sweet little miracle! I tell my angels (3 and 6 months) that only God could create something as perfect as them…I never could have dreamed up anything so extraordinary. Treasure every moment with your sweet darlings!
She is beautiful, and I love the significance of her name!
holy moly! what a cutie!! and that hair! congrats!

Love the name that you picked! I'm Jordyn with a a "Y" and while yeah, y'all might have to explain to people that she's a girl-it'll be fun to have cute little nicknames 🙂 I still get called JoJo to this day! She is absolutely precious and I'm so glad that your little family has grown 🙂

My heart is bursting out of my chest for you, friend! She is precious beyond words.
oh she's a gorgeous baby! I love the name!
She is beautiful! Congrats!
You could spell her name Jordyn…it looks feminine that way…?
Congratulations she is beautiful!!!! ������
Congrats!!!! She's gorgeous – so happy for you! What a sweet family!!!
My daughter's name is Jordyn Faith, so I love the name. Congrats! She is beautiful. The boy/girl confusion is truly a rare occurrence for us.
Congratulations! She's so beautiful–look at all that hair!

Such a beautiful little girl…and I love the name!! My son is Luke and my daughter is Lauren and I love that they both start with the same letter – it just rolls off my tongue when I'm calling them. When we were pregnant with our daughter we had decided that if we had a boy we would name him Jordan after my grandfather, but then she arrived so Luke and Lauren it was! Glad to hear you are taking it easy and following her cues. Enjoy this precious time xx
Congrats! I love the name 🙂
Felicidades!!! She is beautiful

I can't even handle the cute. Congratulations!!
So,so sweet. And I second the hair comment. So much on that tiny head already! Lucky girl. 😉
33 years as a girl Jordan here. It's not so bad! 😉
Megan! I love the significance of the name. She is so gorgeous. I need to hold that little nugget. So happy for you all. And I have a Riley who is assumed to be a boy at doctor's appointments, too! It's never bothered her. All good, little Miss Jordan!!!! xo
LOOOOOVE her name! I just had a Charlie (girl) 7 months ago & also have a Quin so I'm used to people getting confused. I think it's funny & always a good conversation starter. According to my husband, all girls who have names that could be a boy's name are gorgeous! Good luck transitioning to 2…give yourself time!
Congratulations! She is beautiful just like her momma! Hope you are all settling into the new routine well. Xo, Stephanie
Congratulations- I just checked your blog today to see your progression and see I am late as your daughter is over a month old!
Such a lovely baby! I adore her name as I named my daughter Johrdan!! She is often called JoJo at school (she is 11). She actually looked a lot like your Jordan, she had a head full of dark hair at birth too.
Enjoy!
Thank you! I’m glad you found the article nice.
