I am so excited that we are expecting our second child! Just like any pregnancy, this one has been so different then my first. I have been so sick this time around. I have had to go to the ER twice. Even as I have entered the second trimester, the time when I thought my sickness would go a way; I have in fact gotten sick several times this week. It has been less than ideal at times. However, that doesn’t take away from the excitement and the pure joy I have thinking about welcoming another child into our home! With this being my second, I decided to put together a list of my current favorites for this round.

It’s been a couple of years since I’ve given birth. While some days I feel far removed from those first days of newborn life, I still remember what products helped me the most in those early days. I also did a podcast episode that included my postpartum essentials here. With the help of friends around me that had done this before and my own research, I felt as prepared as one who had never given birth can be.

This past weekend I went to the Taylor Swift concert! To say it was a dream come true is an understatement. No other concert will ever compare! I have loved Taylor from the time she came out with “Tear Drops on My Guitar” until now when she closed out her show with “Karma!” My 13 year old self would be so excited that I saw her in person! It truly still doesn’t feel like it was real!
