Babymoon in Kauai, Hawaii

It seems so long ago that we were in Kauai for our Babymoon. However, it was just over two months ago. We loved everything about Kauai and already want to go back. May 23, 2019 marked ten years of marriage for us. We are also expecting our first baby - as most of you know. So, my husband planned our 10 year anniversary trip/babymoon in Kauai, Hawaii. We looked at several destinations but my doctor said no Caribbean and no Europe...so we settled on Kauai and are so glad we did. As I ... Read More

My First Trimester

Getting pregnant was a little bit of shock...when I say shock...we were planning to start trying around December/January but instead it happened a couple of months early.

We chose to keep the pregnancy completely to ... Read More

WE are HAVING a BABY!!!

I've been a little MIA lately...well actually I've pretty much not been present at all and have taken quite a break. Back in the fall we found out we were PREGNANT. It happened a little sooner than expected but we are so very excited to be adding to our family. Of course we are nervous, excited, anxious...all those emotions that go into being first time parents. We found out we were expecting back in October. However, we kept it a complete secret from EVERYONE until Christmas. We figured ... Read More

Foundation Favorites

I love makeup...simple as that. I do not like heavy make up or to look like I'm wearing lots of make up. My preference is a natural, glowy, dewy type look when it comes to makeup...nothing to harsh. If you check out my beauty and skin care category you will see my favorite products. I'm constantly trying new products and like to keep everyone updated on my favorites.  I'm a little obsessed with foundations and I seem to always keep a handful of different foundations on hand. It depends on ... Read More
