8 Month Baby Update

8 Month Baby Update

Every time I start to share a baby update with you, I’m amazed at how quickly it goes!  Yes, time goes by quickly with our 6 year-old son too, but it feels like everything with Jordan is happening even faster! She’s gotten mobile very quickly and is already on her way to walking! I hear about these babies walking at 9 months, but I’m not sure we’ll be there that fast.  My husband bets it’ll be by Christmas.  We’ll see! 

Today, I’m sharing all about the 8 month progress, and to keep this post from becoming a novel, I’ll share how I transitioned Jordan from breastmilk to formula and started her on solid foods in another post.

Must Have Plaid Scarves

Must Have Plaid Scarves

Happy almost Halloween Friday friends!  We’ve got a first grade classroom party to attend today and it should be loads of fun seeing those kiddos all dressed up in their costumes! James is Texans football player JJ Watt, and Jordan will be Snow White. I even found her these adorable red glittery shoes (they seemed to run big- the 3-6 month size fit her perfectly, and she’s 8 months) to go with it! I’m not dressing in costume, but I did pick up this skull tank top at a recent Target run and will call that good!

Cozy Sweater & Soft Boots

Cozy Sweater & Soft Boots

What are your go-to winter boots?  Now that we’ve gotten a taste of cooler temps, I’m all in sharing some cozy, cozy looks with the cozy of the coziest boots.  Weather permitting, I love to run around in my soft boots.  They keep your feet super warm even on the coldest days and are always so comfy.

Fall Dining Room Decor

Fall Dining Room Decor

Here’s to a fresh, new week! This weekend, we went to a fun pumpkin patch with pony rides, a haunted trail, petting zoo and face painting and even managed to get a family photo with everyone in it!  That never happens!  It’s been challenging to get stuff done around here with having to watch our baby so closely.  She’s everywhere and at that stage where she has no fear and can easily get hurt.   I’m always on high alert and her energy seriously wears me out! That’s life with a baby for ya! At home, I did manage to put the finishing touches on our Fall dining room and even got it photographed for ya!

Faux Leather Spanx Leggings

Oh hallelujah!  Houston got the memo and now is just showing off with temps getting in the 50s tonight!  And perfect timing because I have a fun post for you today- something a little out of my comfort zone, but worth giving a try – faux leather leggings.  But not just any faux leather leggings, these are by Spanx and we all know how I’m a fan of those!

Transitioning to Fall

Transitioning to Fall

Oh man, this is so our dilemma here in Houston and maybe yours too if you live in a climate that inconveniently forgets to realize that it’s FALL already!! Hello! We’re in late October, Houston – did you miss the memo?!?! #rude We want to wear boots and sweaters and scarves and all.things.fall while drinking our pumpkin spice lattes!!!! Actually, make mine a white mocha. 😉

We’ll show you, weather!  We’re not gonna let a little thing like 80 degree temperatures stop us from wearing the clothes we’ve been politely and patiently waiting to wear since the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale back in July!

BH&G Stylemaker Recap

BH&G Stylemaker Recap

How was your weekend friends?  Ours have been packed lately with sports but we did have a nice relaxing Sunday and I got lots done around the house.  On Saturday, in between soccer and baseball games, my girlfriend and I took a quick trip down to Galveston for my trainer’s bodybuilding show. As luck would have it, we arrived while the show was at a break, but we took advantage of being at the beach and had lunch on the patio at The Spot, dug our feet into the sand, and browsed some local shops before heading home.  I couldn’t stop smiling the whole time we were there.

Sweater Weather

Sweater Weather

We are certainly glad it’s the weekend!  This dang stomach bug wiped out our whole family this week.  First it got Jordan, then me and my hubby, and finally James.  Thankfully, everyone is better now, but we just want to relax this weekend!  You have no idea how happy us Houstonians are that we are finally seeing a dip in our temperatures. It just puts everyone in such a good mood to have cooler weather and we’re so over sweating our butts off after a long, hot summer.  Makes us want to pull out all our warmer clothes and celebrate with a sweater party!

The Best Coffee Shops in Houston

The Best Coffee Shops in Houston

I’ve been wanting to write this post for a long time, and after such a positive response from the NYC Food Tour post, it prompted me to finally get it done! My hubby and I aren’t big drinkers, but we love a good cup of coffee and Houston hosts a number of great coffee shops to sit back, relax and enjoy the brew.  We’ll go as a family or as a quickie day date when it’s been too inconvenient or hard to line up a sitter for an evening out.

This post is also in collaboration with Nordstrom #homeawayfromhome,

The Perfect Fit Bra

The Perfect Fit Bra

Happy Columbus Day friends! For us, that means no school and a day with two of James’ cousins that he loves to play with.  We got ‘booed’ over the weekend, so we need to do some booing of our own. Today will be a great day for that!  Thankfully, Jordan is feeling so much better, and she’s back to her energetic, happy self.  Thank you for the well wishes!  It’s definitely no fun when baby isn’t feeling well.

For today, I’m continuing the important, but often overlooked, business of undergarments (see my favorite sports bras here, favorite shapewear here,

Budget Bootcut Jeans

Budget Bootcut Jeans

Happy Friday friends!  I had big plans to share a detailed post on a fantastic t-shirt and push up bra to wrap up my undies series (see my favorite sports bras here and favorite shapewear here), but my little baby got a stomach bug yesterday and it’s all I can do to keep the puke off of her and me and everything else!  Poor thing, she just wants to be held and I know she feels terrible, but hopefully, she’s on the mend.  So, today’s post will be short and sweet, a quick look at these great,

The Secret to a Flat Tummy

The Secret to a Flat Tummy

Now that I have your attention!, it’s really true that there’s no substitute for the effort of eating clean and exercising for transforming your shape.  I shared the results of my 40-Day Challenge yesterday, and even though things are feeling good on the fitness front, I still have loose tummy skin from two pregnancies that keeps me from feeling confident in some body conscious clothing.  

You can always opt for looser around the middle clothes or styles that cinch you at the smallest part of your waist, just under your chest, or you can wear every woman’s little fashion secret- shapewear!

40-Day Challenge Recap

40-Day Challenge Recap

After being in New York, it feels like 100 days ago I started my 40-Day Challenge, trying to kick my booty into shape after baby.  Our darling is 7 1/2 months old now (6 month update here) and I definitely feel like ‘myself’ again if that makes sense.   I’m happy to report that we CAN still make significant progress in a short time if we stick to our diet and exercise, even after age 40! #thereshopeforus! I’m less excited to report that our progress is finicky.  It doesn’t stick if you don’t stick to the program,

Foods of NY Tour : What We Ate in …

Foods of NY Tour : What We Ate in NYC (Part 1)

Good Monday morning friends!  I got back from a jam-packed trip to NYC on Saturday and I’m so glad I went.  Did you guys see on Snapchat or InstaStories? Y’all know how hard it was to leave Jordan, and I swear she grew three months in three days!  While I was gone she went from pulling up and standing to pulling up and standing and letting go! Girl, slow down! This mama can’t keep up!

We certainly crammed a lot into those three days away.  I was there for the Better Homes & Gardens Stylemaker event,
