Lincoln Style

There is nothing cuter than tiny moccasins on tiny feet. 

How adorable are these Freshly Picked Moccasins?

I consider camo a neutral so these moccs are perfect for mixing and matching. 

Lincoln Turns One

Our sweet Lincoln is ONE!

Lincoln is 10 months!

Actually he was 10 months on the 7th, but let's not worry about the details.

Roman's Birth Story

Happy 2nd Birthday, sweet boy.  Wish you didn't wake up sick :( 

Impromptu Family Pics

My father-in-law just so happens to be a photographer and while we were visiting them over the weekend we took amazing pictures. 

This one is my absolute favorite. 

Ryan hung Roman upside down because he was SO over it (Romy likes being upside down). 

Zach was mad, not sure why. 

Maddie was very proud of her Ariel little people toy. 

Christmas Pictures

I just have to say, my crew is so cute. 

We took Christmas pictures this past weekend, and they turned out adorable! 

Romy was trying to eat his vest, Lincoln was trying to nurse, and Ry had his hand next to Zach's head to keep him from looking around. 

Sounds about right  #momlife

Mama & Baby Instagram Shop Wish List

I love Instagram! It has shown me so many amazing shops that I just LOVE. 

Since Christmas is coming up soon, I put together a Mama Wish List and a Baby Wish List from my favorite IG shops. Enjoy!

Mama List

Lucky Sage 

This shop makes the cutest bracelets! AND she makes matching mother and daughters set that are to die for. I cannot wait to get my hands on some of them!!

DIY Banners

When we moved this summer, I did a complete decor makeover on all of the kids' rooms (big reveal to come later). I had a blast putting different Pinterest DIYs to use and making up a few of my own as well.

Here are two very cute, and incredibly simple projects.

So blessed to have this little boy in our lives. 

I love being a mom!

Snacks for Pregnant and Nursing Moms

Staying healthy and energized during pregnancy is tough! 

You have a little baby peanut siphoning all your nutrients and will power, all day every day. 

I ran into big problems with keeping my blood sugar up, and would often get fainty, dizzy, and nauseous. I ended up eating small meals and snacks several times a day. Better for energy and better for digestion!

Here are a few examples of my go-to snacks for pregnancy. High in protein, healthy, and delicious!

1. Apples and Almond Butter: Easy and portable!

 2. Smoothies: So many different combinations and easy to maximize protein and other nutrients. Add lots of kale, spinach, swiss chard! I personally love adding a scoop or two of vanilla protein powder and a couple scoops of flax seed. 

 3. Yogurt with granola and fruit: Almost tastes like a desert but so healthy!

 4. Veggies and hummus: Another quick and portable snack!

5. Ezekiel bread with avocado and hardboiled eggs. PROTEIN!

 6. Oatmeal with fruit: I also add a scoop of protein powder, maybe a few walnuts. 

What to Bring to the Hospital

What does this mama of (almost) 6 put in the hospital bag?

Check it out, you don't need much! You will be surprised at how much the hospital provides and how much you really don't need in your stay there.

Dress: Old Navy Maternity

Vest: LC Lauren Conrad

Sandals: Target

Feeling AMAZING today and yesterday. No heartburn, no contractions, plenty of sleep! 

Not sure if baby dropped or if it's just a fluke, but I am loving this. I was even able to eat nearly a full meal yesterday. MIRACLE, I tell you!

This is the same dress from my date night post several weeks ago. It is so unbelievably comfortable! Soft, stretchy, and flattering too. 

I added layered necklaces, the vest, and sandals to make the whole look casual.

I'm loving this pregnancy so far! 

It's baby number six for me and by far the easiest.

Of course, one would expect my body would know what to do by this point. 

Working out regularly and eating healthy are a huge factor in how good you feel during pregnancy (check out my pregnancy health post coming this week!)

Here is what I wore today. I must say, it's one of my favorite outfits. 

It's comfortable, affordable, functional, and so so cute. 

Hat and maternity dress are from Old Navy

Denim vest is from LC Lauren Conrad

Sandals and necklace are Target

Outfit of the Day

Went for a comfortable and casual look today - simple, soft, and chic makes for a happy mama. 

Threw my hair in a top knot, added some stripes and sparkles - Voila! 

Shirt is from Poppy and Dot. Very soft, stretchy comfortable. It's not a maternity shirt, just a regular tunic type of item, and as you can see I tied it under the belly. 

Jeans are Mama Jeans from H&M. They have some of the softest and more comfortable maternity pants I've ever worn. Not to mention, they are usually $40 or under!

Also wearing sparkly pink Toms I've had forever to spice it up!

Be back soon!
